Why Business Centers can Provide Better Services for Businesses in Oxford
Mischa Weston-Green
It is always crucial for a business to minimize costs wherever and whenever they can. Office maintenance and admin staffing are always needed in times of slowdown where businesses need to look to be more cost efficient – this is no truer than in Oxford.
This is why many businesses choose to operate within service offices Oxford, as it removes the extra weight of maintenance and administration tasks that could slow down a business’ productivity. Evidence suggests that this concept was first used by Barristers, who used to form ‘chambers’ to share clerks (administrators) and operating expenses. Choosing to operate within a business centre or managed office space Oxford can provide many benefits for a business:
Flexibility of contracts
Companies offering managed offices Oxford, are generally able to offer more flexible rental terms, unlike a lease, which requires a more long-term commitment. This is beneficial for a company requiring extra space for a particular project, as they can upsize (or even downsize) their offices as required. Rental contracts for serviced offices require no capital expenditure and can allow immediate occupation of their facilities.
Maintenance and Administration Services included
Companies need not worry about extra admin and maintenance costs within serviced offices as this is all included within the rental fee. This means that facilities such as lifts, staff and conference rooms are provided and maintained independently and to a high standard. Furthermore, dedicated receptionist teams provide exceptional levels of administration and customer care including services such as professional telephone answering, professional business address, and mail redirection facilities.
Other factors which influence businesses’ decisions include:
Locational / New market – businesses which are typically headquartered abroad or within another region of country but require presence in that of the business centre.Entrepreneurial – small to medium businesses that would rather not make a long-term commitment to a lease benefit from included services and HR costs such as insurance and recruitment.Overflow – a large company experiencing growth can quickly expand its offices without committing to a long term lease.Interim – clients moving from one space to another may require temporary offices throughout the process.Project-based – offices can be rented temporarily for clients with projects that require an office department.
