Managed workspaces

A managed office is an individually tailored workspace solution procured and managed by a single supplier from start to finish. This type of flexible workspace provides the agility and cost certainty of a serviced office, while delivering the security and control of a traditional leased approach.

 

What is a Managed Office?

Managed offices are the ideal solution for businesses who require designed and branded workspace without the hassle, pressure on resources or high costs associated with traditional office space. Everything is taken care of, from sourcing the property to its design, fit-out and, ultimately, its operation. This allows you to focus on core business functions while an experienced team runs a customised and fully-branded office on your behalf.

With all costs included in one simple fee, businesses can enjoy an individually tailored workspace solution with little to no admin, enabling increased speed to market and low capital outlay. 

 

A managed workspace provider will: 

Understand your business objectives and advise on the solution to fit your needs
Provide comprehensive market research 
Arrange viewings and shortlist preferred managed offices 
Acquire your preferred building and negotiate the lease 
Design, build and fit-out the space to match your brand and requirements 
Procure furniture, fittings, IT services and more 
Manage day-to-day office needs 
Handle your exit and any dilapidations
