Serviced Offices: How Can Your Business Use Them?
August 22nd, 2010
Given the state of the economy in the UK, many small businesses are putting a large emphasis on cutting costs. One excellent way of doing this is to utilise serviced offices, which generally refers to sharing office space with other businesses.
Business centres, which hold serviced offices, are relatively new in the UK, although they’ve been used in the US for many years. Business centres and serviced offices allow small businesses access to fully equipped offices, meeting rooms and a range of secretarial services.

What a lot of small businesses find particularly appealing is the amount of money they can save right at the beginning, as they don’t need to put in any money whatsoever for office equipment (representing a major saving).
Serviced offices let companies operate at a minimal financial risk, giving them more time to focus on growing the business.
The industry has seen such a growth in popularity that there are now dozens of companies specialising in serviced offices, making the market very competitive. This can only be good news for consumers, as it gives them an opportunity to compare prices and services, meaning they can make an informed choice with their money. Some areas of the country will be more competitive than others, and although there are serviced offices available in most major towns and cities, area like London will be the most competitive. Do a Google (or your preferred search engine) seach for serviced offices Victoria or serviced offices Soho, and you should be greeted with several different providers for office space in the area.
The exact final price of your office space will depend on what you’re looking for and in which location, but generally prices are guided on how much space you need, how many desks, the location and quality of the building, parking facilities, etc. Once you are quoted a price however, this price will be inclusive of cleaning, heating, lighting, security, reception, maintenance and refurbishment. This should give you an idea of why they’re so popular with small businesses and the self employed.
