With conventional offices providing long term leases of 5 to 10 years some businesses require workspace on more flexible terms. The ever changing economy and current ambiguity post referendum has resulted in certain organisations requiring flexible working solutions now more than ever. Before you rush into signing a contract read the 6 questions below that you should ask:
Your business requirements will define how long you need your office space for. Perhaps you only require it in between long term office moves or you need space for a temporary project or you want somewhere for your business to call home for the next few years. Whatever the reason, most service office providers offer 3-12+ month leases on a flexible basis, usually with only a month's notice required should your business needs change.
Is office location important to you? Would you prefer to be in the city centre or out of town in a business park? You need to make these vital decisions before enquiring about office space. It is also important that you find out whether the centre is close to transport links, shops, bars and restaurants as these factors may be important to your employees and affect acquiring future talent.
Your team may have specific requirements to make their work-life easier. Some may drive to work and need car parking, others may cycle to work and need bike storage. Before choosing a serviced office provider it may be a good idea to consult your team about what they feel is important in an office then match these with what you're being offered.
Most serviced office providers will offer perks to go above and beyond your expectations. These could be anything from reduced rates on meeting rooms to free toiletries in the bathrooms. It's always nice to get a little bit extra without the price tag. Read more about the 10 things you don't have to pay extra for when you get a serviced office with Orega.
