Are Serviced Offices a Good choice For Small Businesses?

Posted by Arena Business Centres on 12th May 2020 -

Start-ups and smaller businesses often look to serviced offices for their workplace solutions and this trend seems to be on the rise. There are a lot of benefits and facilities associated with serviced offices (also known as business centres or managed offices), which make them very appealing to businesses of all sizes. 

But, are serviced offices a good choice for small businesses that want to grow?
 

Serviced offices offer flexible contracts to suit you.

For new or small business, there can be a lot of uncertainty and fluctuation when it comes to outgoings, therefore one monthly payment to a serviced office provider, on a flexible contract is a welcome change of pace. That’s one less thing to worry about!

A serviced office comprises of a range of useful services and facilities. 

At an Arena serviced office you’ll find bookable meeting rooms, free parking, full-time centre staff to assist your business by directing visitors and making arrangements, cleaners, an on-site cafe and post handling & franking. (To name a few). 

This not only provides a welcoming environment for your team, but is a great space to bring in potential clients. A well kept, fully managed serviced office will definitely give your prospects the best possible first impression, which is incredibly important for start-ups and reputation building.

Benefit from having little to no setup time. 

Arena offer a range of office spaces, in varying sizes, with optional furniture and phone-lines. While many business may opt to buy these items for themselves, this is certainly an attractive option for a start-up to hit the ground running and to not waste valuable selling time! 

Serviced offices allow for business growth.

The flexibility of a serviced office will allow your business to change as it needs to without constraint. For example, if business does well and you employ a few more people and find your current office isn’t accommodating your staff anymore, your serviced office provider will work with you to upgrade your current workspace with minimal hassle. 

Equally, if you need to downsize or cut back your provider will support this where possible.
