A great option for those who don’t yet need a work space, or for businesses that don’t require a base. A virtual office will provide a prestigious registered address where mail can be sent and organised, a telephone number and call answering or forwarding services, plus offer business facilities should you need them.

Ideal for sole traders, start-ups and those who just thrive on collaboration; co-working/shared spaces provide you with a hot-desk or designated bank of desks within a building that incorporates other businesses. A straightforward option where you can rock up with a laptop and just get stuff done without the commitment of an entire office.

'The full package’ option with negotiable contract length. A serviced office is your one-stop shop for a dedicated and private office for your company and come with internet and telecoms within the offering. For short or longer term arrangements, serviced offices offer a flexible but professional feel that allows growth and in an ever-changing business climate.

A managed office allows you to have a bespoke fit-out and arrange your own IT and telecoms, but in a fairly flexible manner in relation to contract commitment. One operator will take care of all elements including moving in and out, customisation and making sure the space fits your business needs.

A leased office is the business version of buying a house. Similar to a mortgage, you will have a long term loan on the property (leases are for contract terms of 5 years+) and be solely in charge of what goes on under its roof. A leased option is perfect for established companies who are relatively stable in terms of growth and location.
