Serviced Office Space: Better than a home office!
Just what is serviced office space?
It is a high quality business environment, with a premium address, where you can get work done! It comes complete with all of the conveniences of a corporate office available to you. And conveniently it is also a place that you can hire for an hour, a day, a week, a month, or even annually…
It is space that’s available when you need it to escape from family members that think your home office means you’re available anytime they want you—who don’t seem to realize that you actually need to get work done!
Serviced office space is where you can make big-screen presentations, on high quality audio video equipment, in a real conference room, for a group of clients. It doesn’t involve rearranging your living room furniture—you don’t have to put all your kids’ toys away—and you don’t have to pray that your household Wi-Fi connection holds up between your laptop and your TV for the length of the presentation.
It’s a place where you can make a stand-up presentation to a large group of trainees. It doesn’t matter if you’re teaching First Aid and CPR, or teaching Best Practices to a bunch of neophyte Project Managers. This is an environment that is conducive to teaching and learning, but don’t forget that it also has the capability to host a catered midday meal for an all-day split-session running between morning and afternoon.
The World Has Changed
More and more business that has traditionally gone to large firms is ending up in the hands of independent contractors—people like you that have struck out on their own to make their mark in the business world.
Businesses are asking themselves “why hire a whole advertising agency when the former creative lead for that agency is now completely independent?” It makes no difference what your line of work is, if you’re really good at it. Businesses are now enthusiastically embracing the independent because even if you’re charging an arm and a leg for your work, it’s still cheaper than hiring an agency.
Great Facilities
What does “all of the conveniences of a corporate office” mean? Simple… Despite the sophistication of our world today it is stunning, but true, that people still need and use fax machines for example. You can’t carry a flatbed scanner around with you, but most everybody can receive a fax via e-mail. Private detectives, lawyers, dentists, sellers of fresh produce, farm supplies, real estate… it goes on and on.
But let’s not focus on antiques! How about high-speed, high quality, color printers which can print your multi page documents and collate them all automatically? Not in such a way that you have to tackle the project yourself, but at an affordable rate where they can be prepared for you, ready when you need them. That’s right, serviced office space facilities offer secretarial services upon request.
How about high speed Internet connectivity, both hardwired and WiFi? Surely, if you have to keep someone waiting (in the comfortable lounge), there are big bonus points to be had if there is open WiFi for them to use! Now they get to remain productive instead of chafing at the delay.
How about a receptionist to greet your visitors and make sure they’re comfortable while they’re waiting to meet with you? Coffee, tea…water? You are looking so professional that they love you before they have even met you!
Don’t forget mail services—both sending and receiving—as well as the physical forwarding, or opening (with written authorization), copying, and forwarding by e-mail, to an address of your choice.
These are all perks of a serviced office space!
The Takeaway
Copiers, printers, and fax machines aside, the environment is beautiful; our on-site team is friendly and efficient; and they work hard to make your job as easy as possible. But it doesn’t end there.
There are plenty of people conducting other business around you, so it also represents a networking opportunity, and a way for you to build your business contacts. If nothing else you’ll make new friends, but the real bonus is that serviced office space is a place where you can get work done.
