frequently asked questions

Also known as managed offices, business centers and executive suites, serviced offices provide fully-equipped facilities managed by a service facility management company. They empower businesses, from start-ups to small-, medium-sized enterprises and large-scale companies to rent office spaces that are suitable and customizable to their needs. Naturally, a serviced office room can cater to as few as one individual and as many as 20 persons.

With minimal to no capital investment needed in leasing a serviced office, you can enjoy immediate access to fully furnished and well-equipped office without losing time and focus on growing your business. This modern approach to office space provides a complete business solution, and is increasingly popular with small firms and start-ups. However, due to serviced offices’ complete and fully-equipped nature, even large-scale companies find that business support services have considerable appeal.

This really depends on several varying factors, such as location, building facilities and the included amenities. On its own, traditional office space may be less expensive than serviced offices but you’d only be getting an empty space. Additional expenses with traditional office space usually include overheads such as building dues, electricity, office space set-up, IT set-up, office furniture, telephone lines and office space interiors. Serviced office spaces are offered at a higher price because they already include all of these costs. Most importantly, serviced office spaces buy you more time for your business so you can focus on the more important matters and keep your business running smoothly.

In a nutshell, the term refers to a space that provides fully equipped and fully furnished workstations that are ready for use and perfect for entrepreneurs and freelancers who choose not to work from home, and/or branch office/s. Co-working spaces are offered at a much lower price than traditional working spaces and offer more flexibility with daily, weekly and monthly access. Facilities such as mail handling, telephone, internet and admin support can all be made available.

For many entrepreneurs, working from home can be a lonely experience. Co-working environments have risen in popularity because they provide opportunities for networking with other small business owners and professional freelancers. They also offer a wealth of resources and the chance to connect with potential partners, clients and even outsource tasks. Co-working spaces offer entrepreneurs the most cost-effective way to launch their business as it costs them less than renting their own office. It also allows them the flexibility of scaling up or down to suit their business needs.

Co-working space is available by the day, week and month during office hours. A co-working client has access to either an unassigned work desk or workspace in a common area such as a business lounge with high-speed internet access. A dedicated workstation offers greater exclusivity, with 24/7 access to their own assigned workspace.

A virtual office is a substitute for the traditional work environment, and delivers results through the web, telephone and other technologies. Virtual offices operate without any actual physical office space; all operations (whether internal or external business processes and communication) are performed via the Internet and phone lines. Employee(s) work remotely and perform daily office tasks with the use of software and application tools dependent on the Internet. Most virtual offices offer a business address for postal communication and secretarial support.

Although a virtual office is not a universal solution for every business, there are many good reasons why it makes sense to consider getting one. For lean start-ups that are still testing the waters: the less capital you spend, the better. Establishing a virtual office kick-starts your most important business operations and gives you the advantage of having a prestigious business address to present to your clients and business prospects. Even with SMEs, a virtual office helps lower overheads by eliminating the cost of a physical office for your small group of workers. When it comes to large-scale businesses, branching out internationally may be one of your goals. When exploring a totally different market, a virtual office can be the best solution.
