Why Flexible Offices?

In the fast-moving world of business, a company’s workspace requirements can change frequently. A conventional lease typically lasts for ten to 15 years, but a flexible office enables a business to take a workspace in the location of their choice for as little as a month – with the flexibility to expand and contract at short notice.

The term ‘flexible office’ describes a workspace which gives the tenant flexibility over location, size, term and additional services. Types of flexible office include:

  • Serviced offices
  • Coworking spaces
  • Managed offices
  • Virtual offices
  • Leases, sublets and workshop units

Whether it's proximity to transport routes, and to key clients, or having an address in a neighbourhood that’s well respected in your industry, location is crucial when searching for the right workspace for your business.

Flexible offices can be found in most major cities across the globe, giving you a vast range of possibilities for the location of your office.

Everything you need to run your business is included

Whether you need a fully furnished, pre-cabled workspace with a staffed reception, or simply a prestigious address and phone number to refer your customers to, a flexible office includes everything you need to run your business.

What’s more, you only pay for what you need – from 10 desks in a private serviced office, five days a week, to one desk in a shared coworking space part time, or access to a meeting room when you need one.

Easy budgeting with a single monthly bill

All the elements of a flexible office – rent, rates, furnishings, reception and IT support, building maintenance and cleaning services – are included in one fixed monthly price.

This saves you the hassle and cost of purchasing and managing these services yourself, and also means you won't face any unexpected costs throughout your contract.

With Instant Offices comparing the market to get you the best rates available, budgeting for your new workspace becomes a simple task.


A fast solution

As a flexible office includes everything you need for your business, they're ready for immediate occupation – you can move in from the day you sign the contract.

And if you need any additional services after you move in, there are a range of pay-as-you-go services on-demand available, such as secretarial support.


Give your business the flexibility to change and grow

With contracts available on a month-to-month basis, your company doesn't need to be tied down to a long term contract. Flexible offices give you the opportunity to expand, reduce, or even vacate your workspace – with as little as one month’s notice – to meet your changing business requirements.
