Things To Consider When Renting A Flexi Office

Flexi offices are the perfect solution for anyone who would like the flexibility of being able to use office space at short notice and they’re a cost-effective way to have access to a professional work environment. If you think a flexi office could be the best option for your business, we have put together a list of things to consider when you’re renting a flexible workspace. Thinking about everything we suggest can help you to ensure you’re choosing the right flexible solution for your current business needs.

How regularly you will need access to an office

When you rent a flexi office, you will essentially only pay for the number of days you require a workspace. There will be different packages available to choose from. For example, you can work from a business centre for five, ten or fifteen days per month. So, you will need to think about how regularly you’re going to need a professional workspace. This will help you to ensure you’re not paying to use an office for more days than you actually need.

What other facilities you’re likely to need

Commonly, business centres will also be home to meeting rooms, co-working spaces and conference facilities, and you should consider whether any of these facilities are particularly important to you. Likewise, think about whether you would like to have access to a kitchen or breakout space. Once you know which facilities you require, you can ensure you’re choosing a flexi office that provides you with access to them.

Where you would like to be located

Similarly, when you’re renting a serviced office space, you will need to think about where you would like your flexi office to be located. Ideally, you should choose an easily accessible location with good transport links and ample parking, this will prevent any issues regarding getting to the workspace. When you’re choosing a location, don’t forget that you can use the business centre address as your business address when you rent a flexi office too, improving your credibility. So, you need to consider where you would like your business to be located and the influence a corporate address will have on your business in the future.

How much you have to spend on a workspace

Budget is always something you have to take into consideration whenever you’re renting a flexible office space. Think about how much you can comfortably afford to spend on a workspace every month and how much of an impact this will have on your bottom line. Budget-depending, you may want to consider spending fewer days in a professional workspace as the more time you spend in a flexi office, the more expensive it will be per month.

Whether this is a long term or short-term solution

As the name suggests, flexi offices are designed to be the ultimate flexible workspace solution and they prevent any long-term commitment. That being said, you can use a flexi office long-term if it works well for you. You should always think about the future when you’re renting a flexi office and if there is a chance you will need a private office in years to come, you may want to find a business centre that offers several different workspace options.
