All small business owners aspire to hit it big and be like Microsoft or Google when they grow up. However, the reality is it is hard to move up to that next step, given their financial constraints and smaller size. There are ways to make your business appear bigger than it is by using some clever tactics. One such way is to rent a serviced office instead of leasing it long-term. These are available to businesses of all sizes but are especially useful to smaller ones and start-ups looking for office space, meeting rooms and professional services.
Location
Where a company is located can often make or break a business. If your business is still operating from home or in a cheap but out of the way location then a serviced office can help. They can be found in city centres, at the heart of the business world, but also in rural areas which makes them convenient if you live out in the countryside. Whichever location is best for your company, a serviced office adds that professional gleam, meaning clients and investors will take you more seriously.
A Cheaper and Simple Solution
You can utilise a service office to avoid the hassle of looking round various offices, negotiating rents and spending time setting up the internet and any other facilities. Serviced offices provide a simple and easy office solution. All that needs to be done is to decide on a location, price plan and sign the contract; the company in charge of the serviced offices will do the rest. This saves plenty of time that can be put towards helping your business grow.
Flexible Leases
Rent terms can last from as little as three months to three years. This means if your business can only afford a few months but hopes to grow in that time and then extend your lease this is an option. Likewise, if your company booms, then after those months you may be able to move out and purchase your own office without having to pay off a lengthy contract or sell the office.
All Inclusive
Most serviced offices include IT support, high speed internet, corporate hospitality, professional receptionists and security. It works out cheaper than paying for all individually and means the company running the serviced offices will look after any technical or other problems, which saves you time. Meeting rooms will also be available for meeting with clients, investors or potential new employees. Using an office in a prestigious location is sure to impress them and provides a fantastic first impression that will hopefully help negotiations.
