Importance of your work space

You may think that your own house or any coffee shops will be good enough when you start your business, but it is very easy to lose concentration at home and very hard to keep your own seat with power a power plug in a coffee shop. For these and other reasons, there are many people using co-working spaces and fixed-rate cafés. But are they the most secure places to operate your business and communicate with your clients?

Its easy for other people to see what you're working on in co-working spaces so you need to be careful if you have confidential information or client data on your screen. If you have neighbouring co-workers targeting the same goal as you, your risks will increase dramatically. That's why, if security and privacy is important to you, we recommend having an office to keep your business safe and grow to your full potential.

Choose Your Office with Convenience in Mind

Nowadays workspaces are widely varied. If your business potential is still unknown and your staff number is still small, any office which fits your budget is a good way to start. Most serviced office operators will give you a free tour before you decide to sign-up. The following will help you focus on finding the right office.

1. Close to the Station. Or Your Core Business Area
   If you would like to have prime business address but it’s far from where you live or where the majority of your customers are, your burden will increase. Location is probably the most important factor when choosing your office so make sure you find one which fits your personal and business life.

2. Varied Office Sizes
   Recently there are many serviced offices optimised for 1 person use with affordable add-on services. However if your business has any capability to grow, we recommend to have a contract with a larger business centre with varied offices and services. If you need to move in and out each time when you need to change the office size, you’ll also need to change the company registration and phone numbers you already gave to your clients.  Larger operators will usually allow you to expand within their business centre or to another location, so you don’t always have to change your address when you move to a new office.

3. Meeting Rooms Available
   If you decide to take on your own space you can build in a meeting room, however that’s costly, time consuming and open to problems.  If you choose a business centre with no meeting rooms, you’ll need to conduct meetings in your office or go out to a nearby coffee shop. When choosing a serviced office provider check their provision for meeting rooms and how much they cost to use.  Meeting rooms help to present a professional appearance as well as a secure, quiet location for confidential discussions, so it’s worth including them in your search for office space.

4. Integrated Reception

   If the business center has an integrated reception and you have a dedicated phone line, the receptionists will answer your phone line as if they were your company’s employee. So you won’t miss a call from your clients even if you’re busy or need some time undisturbed. The reception can also receive mail and packages for you so you won’t have to wait around for deliveries. Receptionists can also help you with simple support tasks which can help save you time and concentrate on running your business.  

5. Other Benefits Of The Facility

   Most of the business centers with integrated receptions tend to have office spaces and meeting rooms as standard. Many of these centres will also have additional facilities such as business lounges, co-working space and in some-cases fitness areas. Make sure you see all the facilities when you book your tour.
