Why businesses choose serviced office space

  • 3-4 Hardwick Street, Clerkenwell, London — photo 3

    One bill, no surprises

    Rent, rates, utilities, internet, cleaning and building management arrive as a single monthly figure. No separate contracts to chase, and no dilapidations bill waiting at the end.

    Short terms, room to move

    Most agreements run monthly or annually rather than for years. Take on five more people and you move to a bigger suite in the same building instead of starting the search again.

    Nothing to fit out

    The space is finished before you see it. Agree terms one week and work there the next, with no capital spend and no building project to manage.

What is a serviced office?

A serviced office is a private, lockable space inside a building someone else runs. The furniture, the internet, the cleaning and the meeting rooms are already there, and they arrive on one monthly bill. You bring your team and your laptops; the operator handles everything else.

Terms are short by design — often a rolling month, rarely more than a year. That is why serviced space suits businesses that are growing, opening somewhere new, or simply not ready to sign a decade away.

    Small teams

    Most serviced offices we list take between 1 and 50 desks, so a team of four is as welcome as a team of forty.

    Growing businesses

    Hiring is hard to predict. A serviced agreement lets you add desks when you need them and hand them back when you don't.

Frequently asked questions

What is a serviced office?

A private, lockable office inside a building run by an operator. Furniture, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and meeting rooms are included and billed monthly alongside the rent. You are responsible for your own space and nothing else.

What is included in the price?

Almost everything you would otherwise arrange yourself: furniture, internet and phone, utilities, business rates, cleaning, waste, building security, reception and access to shared meeting rooms and kitchens. Heavy meeting room use and extra parking are sometimes charged separately — we will tell you which before you view.

How much does a serviced office cost?

Around £345 per desk per month across the offices we list, though the range is wide. Central London is typically £500 to £1,200 a desk; the larger regional cities run £200 to £450. Price moves with the building, the floor and the length of the agreement.

How long is a serviced office agreement?

Usually a rolling month or a fixed twelve months. Longer terms are available and normally bring the monthly rate down. These are licences rather than leases, so they are far shorter to read and quicker to sign than a commercial lease.

How quickly can I move in?

Often within a week or two of agreeing terms, because the space is already finished. If you need somewhere immediately, tell us — a number of the buildings we work with can take a team in a matter of days.

What is the difference between a serviced and a managed office?

A serviced office is ready to use and all-inclusive, in a building shared with other companies. A managed office is a self-contained space fitted out for your team alone, on your own terms, with the building still run for you. Serviced suits smaller teams and shorter commitments; managed suits larger teams who want their own identity without taking on a full lease. More on managed offices.

Can I view offices before I commit?

Yes, and there is no charge or obligation. Tell us which buildings interest you and we will arrange the viewings together so you can compare them in a single trip.
