Serviced Office - The Advantages for New and Growing Businesses

A ‘serviced office’ is also referred to as ‘business centers, executive centers or suites and managed offices’ in different parts of the world. Usually found in the main business districts of large cities around the globe, a serviced office can be a large office space or entire building that is serviced and managed by a facility management company, which rents out individual office cubicles or floors of a building to businesses and companies. Serviced offices range from sizes accommodating a single person up to groups of people in a single office space or adjoining spaces depending upon the size of the workplace space and the requirement of companies. That’s why, an office is essentially known as a ‘pay-as-you-use space.’ Unlike rented spaces, where the company not only pays for the lease, in some case on a three to five year contract agreement, and equips it with infrastructure like chairs, desks, workstations, telephone instruments, printers, ...

2011 was a good year for web-based “software as a service” suites.

Both services include a suite of desktop apps which can be accessed and delivered over the Internet, and provide users with mobility and immediate access to their documents no matter where they, as long as they have a compatible device and an Internet connection.

This approach would make it easier for such a company to offer clients affordable services, consistent with their budgetary needs. But we all know that not every business – especially a solo enterprise or small business operation – can afford to own its own building. At least not in the early phases of growth. Even when the money is there, chances are high that other considerations for which it can be more profitably used will exist. To compound matters… A. maybe you want to rent one, but the prices you kee...
