The advantages of serviced offices are measured in the benefits to your business and the time to take advantage of lower cost serviced offices may be during the forecasted recovery period for office rentals. Healthier leasing rates in the U.K. and major U.S. and European markets suggest that the office rentals market may at the start of a stabilization trend. As a result, global demand for office space rentals, while still in transition between recession and recovery, may offer prices and terms likely to be more favorable.

Focus

Renting office space or executive suites in a managed centre shifts management focus exclusively towardsrunning the business. One of the most important considerations in business management is making productive use of limited resources. Outperforming the competition and obtaining competitive advantage is effectively preserved by channeling resources into productive areas of your business. A relationship with a managed office operator frees you to work on your business without the added responsibility of managing your executive suites and maintenance staff. A serviced offices operator will be able to support your business goals by ensuring that office logistics services are provided for you.

Scalability

In addition, serviced office space carries the convenience of scalability to adjust to the changing needs of your business. As your office space needs increase, managed office professionals can scale their services to meet your growing needs. Similarly, if your business scales back, you are not responsible for a larger office space arrangement that you do not need. This scalability is a convenience that traditional office space arrangements cannot match without the added expense in time and money of employing, training, and equipping additional staff to service your office space or executive suites.

Cost

Businesses operating in managed office space have the benefit of decreased office space costs. The cost saving aspect of working in a serviced office space environment is that your costs in staff and property upkeep are minimised. These savings are an improvement over traditional office space arrangements where you pay for staff, supplies, training, and hiring. But if you rent office space in a traditional office centre, logistics such as maintenance, cleaning, repairs, communications, and staff are costs incurred by your business. Minimising these logistical expenses helps ensure that the business will benefit from immediate savings and the long term effects of putting these savings to work for the business instead of being another expense.

As you can see, the benefits of using serviced offices and executive suites help you run a more efficient and profitable business. Your operating costs are minimised and you have the convenience of scalability. With these items in check, you can focus exlucisvely on growing your business.
