Despite their rise in popularity, there are many myths and misconceptions about serviced office spaces that may be off-putting for businesses. For example, the misconception that they’re expensive and only offer long-term contracts.
The fact is, there are many benefits to renting a serviced office space. They can work for a number of different-sized businesses and business types, largely due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
If you’re interested in renting a serviced office space and want to learn more about how this style of office space can benefit your business and employees, you’ve come to the right place.
Flexible lease options
Times have changed. Following the move to more hybrid and remote ways of working, businesses are no longer keen to lock in on a long-term lease and prefer to have more flexibility. This has several benefits, including:
- Cost-effectiveness: long-term leases are a big commitment, particularly if your business circumstances change. With flexible lease options, you can hold onto the space for as short or long as you need – which is more cost-effective.
- Ready-to-use office spaces: serviced office spaces are typically ready to go as soon as you move in. There’s no need to worry about the electricity or internet access – it’s all sorted and included. All you need to do is turn on your computer and start working.
- Adaptability for businesses: a flexible lease allows a business to scale their office up or down depending on their needs, making it a great option for small to medium businesses.
- Access to prime locations: it’s unlikely a small business could afford a long-term lease in a prime location, particularly in a city like London. Flexible leases make it easier for smaller-sized businesses to get a foothold in prime locations.
Concierge services
In a serviced office space, another benefit you’ll have access to is a concierge service that provides administrative support to the tenants of the building. It’s usually the same team that manages the reception. This concierge service is the first point of contact for your visitors and clients and will handle anything from your post to meeting room booking and IT support.
Meeting & event spaces
Whether you need a private space to hold an interview or a conference room to deliver a presentation, serviced office spaces normally include a variety of meeting and event spaces for tenants and external businesses to book.
At MYO, our event spaces are flexible for day and evening and perfect for business events with up to 150 guests. We provide end-to-end event management to ensure your event runs smoothly and seamlessly. Download our brochure to learn more about our services.
Events
When you rent an office in a serviced office space, you can access any events held within the building. This can range from curated art exhibitions to year-round inclusive initiatives like Pride and Black History Month.
Why do we recommend attending events held in your serviced office space? It’s a great opportunity to network and connect with other businesses, tenants, and industry professionals and showcase your brand and services. It could lead to a new business lead or partnership.
Amenities
Access to amenities can provide numerous benefits to businesses and their employees and are typically included in the property lease. This makes serviced office spaces a cost-effective and convenient option for businesses that want everything included in one cost.
Here are just some of the amenities we offer to our tenants:
Quiet spaces
With 65% of employees reporting that workplace noise impacted their ability to complete work, we are proud to include quiet and breakout spaces at all of our locations, helping to enhance employee wellbeing and productivity.
Cycle storage
Have your employees considered cycling to work but you don’t have the amenities to make it possible? Exercise is known to improve physical health, wellbeing, and productivity. So, at MYO, we’ve included cycle storage and a complimentary towel service so your employees can get their exercise and freshen up afterwards.
Complimentary refreshments
Businesses won’t have to worry about providing complimentary tea and coffee to employees and visitors – we provide this for you. We also carefully select our tea and coffee from sustainable suppliers.
Superfast internet
One of the many convenient items included in your lease is a super-fast internet connection from day one, so you and your team can get started as soon as you move into your new office.
