What are Serviced Offices?

Serviced offices are individually fitted office suites within a managed facility or business centre that offer tenants shared access to amenities such as reception, utility rooms, conference / meeting rooms and advanced IT infrastructure. Because the business centre provides shared amenities and equipment, you often get infrastructure that is larger, advanced, faster and more reliable than what you would be able to afford by yourself.

Serviced offices allow companies immediate occupation on flexible terms. You can rent an office suite within a business centre for an hour, a day, a month or years. These offices can be used as permanent offices, overflow / interim space, branch offices, or even short-term project teams, and are as attractive to small businesses as they are to established corporate MNCs looking for extra space or satellite offices. The fees that tenants are charged in serviced offices normally include the basic rent, fit-out, furnishings, maintenance, air-conditioning, lighting, cleaning, security, reception services, etc. Everything you need in an office is inclusive in the rental prices quoted. In most cases, the only additional costs incurred are for services, but only if you use them.

These additionals may include telephone calls (e.g. overseas IDD calls), printing/copying costs and conference / meeting room charges. In many cases, many business centres provide complimentary conference / meeting room usage. And if you opt to use the secretarial services provided, you only pay for the time used instead of fixed monthly salaries.

Moving your business into a serviced office could be a cost-effective solution to your workspace needs that avoids the trials and tribulations of traditional property letting. Its an office space option that means you can just move in, set up and get straight down to business. Studies show cost savings of as much as 78% are achievable by using serviced offices.
