5 of the Best London Offices for Small Businesses
When you think of regular office space, you may imagine rows of desks and a large number of staff members wandering around.
But not all office space is like this.
99% of UK businesses are classed as small, meaning their employee count is 49 or under.
For these businesses, they don’t need a huge office, and something on the smaller side will do.
With that in mind, the team at One One One have scoured our list of London offices, picking out five of the best that will suit your small business.
These offices are super compact, all containing space for fifteen desks or less, making them ideal for businesses with a handful of employees and new start-ups.
Let’s take a look.
The Benefits of Having a Small London Office?
If you don’t have a huge number of employees, then having a smaller office is a great choice for you.
This comes with many benefits, including:
- Increased collaboration: In a smaller office, it is much easier for employees to work together. Many times their desks will be in close proximity, making it much easier to communicate with their fellow employees and share ideas. This can lead to faster decision making, more cohesion, and fewer misunderstandings.
- Lower overhead costs: For many small businesses, money is a big factor when choosing the right office space. With a smaller rental, the monthly charges should be low, and utility bills will also be less than if you were occupying a large space. This gives you the flexibility to invest more money in other areas of your business.
- Better team morale: Small offices can be more accommodating to employee’s personal needs and schedules, which can help keep staff morale high. It also helps employees get to know each other more and build relationships that can make going to work a positive thing.
There are many other benefits to working in a smaller office space, so if your staff numbers allow, this is a great choice for you, your workforce, and your business.
