Why More Businesses Are Looking at Flexible Office Space

The way businesses use offices is changing.

More companies are looking for space that gives them flexibility without compromising on quality, location or how the office feels for their team.

T hat doesn’t necessarily mean taking a handful of desks in a coworking space. Increasingly, businesses are looking at serviced and managed offices that provide their own private space while taking away much of the cost and hassle of running an office.

Flexibility without compromising on quality

Flexible workspace has come a long way.

Today’s serviced and managed offices can offer private floors, meeting rooms, kitchens, breakout areas and high-quality fit-outs.

For many businesses, the appeal is simple: walk in, plug in and get on with running the business.

The office is ready to go, day-to-day costs are often wrapped into one monthly figure, and there’s far less upfront investment required.

Why are businesses making the switch?

For some, it’s about growth. A business might need 15 desks today but expect to be at 25 or 30 within a year. Flexible workspace makes it easier to accommodate that growth without committing to more space than is currently needed.

For others, it’s about simplicity. Rent, business rates, utilities, cleaning, maintenance and furniture can often all be covered within one monthly cost. And when a business needs to move quickly, a fully fitted office can make a huge difference.

Managed workspace

Managed offices have become increasingly popular with businesses looking for more privacy and control.

They can provide a completely private, self-contained office with your own kitchen, meeting rooms and branding, while the provider takes care of the building and day-to-day management.

It can be a good middle ground for businesses that want their own space without the upfront cost and commitment of fitting it out themselves.

Finding the right fit

There isn’t one flexible office solution that works for everyone.

Some businesses want a highly amenitised serviced office with communal spaces and shared facilities. Others want a completely private floor with their own facilities.

Back To The Office?

Back To The Office???

A recent poll from Savills showed 64% of employees want to return to the office 3-4 days a week, with only 6% stating they’d want to work from home full time.

While a 5 day commute looks like a thing of the past for many, the need for collaborative office hubs has never been greater!

“They [offices] will be more like a club … focused on the social and collaborative elements of work. A place where you get together, where you chat, where you arrange your meetings with colleagues and clients.”
