Managed Offices

What is a Managed Office? 

 Managed offices offer a hybrid between Serviced and Leasehold.

They are Leasehold premises that are acquired and managed by a third party, taking the liability of the lease, and upfront capital expenditure, away from you.

This gives you the leasing flexibility you would have with a Serviced office, and the privacy and control you would have with a Leasehold option.

You can expect fully furnished offices and buildings that are already fitted out to include kitchens, break out space and meeting rooms. Lots of them also offer handy extras like showers, bike storage, and outdoor space.

Managed office space is perfect for companies of any size, from start-ups to large multinationals.

The contracts are simple and are flexible to your requirements, it’s a quick turnaround time, you can increase or decrease the number of desks you require with relative ease, and it’s available on a fixed monthly cost.

Within Managed office floors/ buildings you will have your own private office which you can brand and make your own. They all come in a variety of sizes and styles.

So, whether you are looking for creative or corporate, or anything in between, there will be offices available to match your company size, brand and budget. 

Renting a Managed Office

 Managed transactions are really quick.

For larger businesses especially, we recommend you begin the process of looking for a new Managed office around 3 months ahead of your move date.

However, as the contracts are so simple and flexible, and the IT and Telephony infrastructure is often already in place or easily installed, you can technically be signed and moved in after 24 hours of finding your ideal office.

Our Project Plans would define how much time you need for your office move and this is something we would recommend you ask us for. It’s best to plan ahead! 

The Cost of a Managed Officed

Typically, you sign on a space for 12-24 months however contract terms are very flexible.

Managed offices have an “all-inclusive” fixed monthly cost and minimal (often zero) capital expenditure. Every imaginable amenity that your company may need is included, and prices are calculated on a per desk per month basis.

Having a Managed office can work out more costly than a traditional Leasehold office (where you would be responsible for Rent, Rates, Service Charge and all other necessary amenities), however the contract flexibility on offer, the fixed costs, and having someone else maintaining your office building, can make the premium cost very worthwhile.

If you’re weighing up your options and can’t decide whether to stay where you are in your current office or make the move to a new office, we can help you conduct a Stay vs Go Analysis. This would include showing you what’s on the market through reports, or physical viewings, and then weighing these options up with the costs of your current office as part of that process.
