A Great Service for your Business
Finding the right premises for your firm can be tricky, but is a vital part of running a successful operation. It’s all about giving the right impression to your clients, being well located and easy to find and having the right amount of space and facilities for your employees. But businesses change and grow and evolve and what’s right for you one year might not be the next and if you are tied in to a long lease then you might find yourself stuck in an office that’s no longer suitable.
As so much of your business centres on being based in the right location, it can be a good idea to consider a serviced office. This type of facility generally offers a fairly short-term lease, so if your business expands or contracts you can usually shift your operations around without losing out financially.
Doing better business
Serviced offices can also offer a whole host of benefits in terms of making your working life easier. While the facilities vary from place to place, there are certain things you can expect. Most offer a professional reception service, which is invaluable in all kinds of ways. Visitors will be greeted and directed to your office, incoming phone calls can be routed to you and post and parcels can be signed for and stored. This is particularly valuable if you are small company and don’t have the resource for your own receptionist, as calls and visits will never go unanswered.
IT facilities are also often included, so things like wi-fi and broadband tend to come with the territory. Your phone lines and systems are also part of the package. While you usually need to supply the hardware, such as computers and handsets, the headache of sorting out IT issues is taken away from you, a great time-saver.
A clean and tidy office is a must, but hiring your own cleaners can be costly. Serviced offices nearly always include cleaning services in the cost, so your office will certainly be clean at all times.
It’s great to have somewhere to meet with your clients away from the noise and bustle of your office. Most serviced offices will offer meeting rooms and breakout areas sometimes included in the monthly bill, sometimes charged separately so you can conduct everything from a one-to-one meeting to a company conference on the same premises. Similarly, there are often refreshment and catering facilities on site, so you can offer your visitors a hot drink or lunch during your meeting.
As well as the facilities on offer, serviced offices are a great way to keep your company moving. Perhaps you need to locate in a new area for a few months, or need a breakout space to house a couple of people away from your main offices? Whatever your business needs, a serviced office can usually deliver.
