The main difference is flexibility. Serviced offices allow you to move in within a few days, without having to sign a long term binding lease. Therefore, if you are unsure of expansion plans or the ideal geographic location for your business, this could provide an ideal solution.

Fully Serviced Offices are a total solution in the sense that they are fully fitted and furnished, ready for immediate occupation. The building operator takes responsibility for all of the services to the building, and, in addition, provides a range of business services including reception and telephone answering services, secretarial support, conference and meeting facilities, video conferencing and high speed internet access.

Whilst costs may look high initially, the rent that you pay includes almost all of the costs that you would normally expect to pay on top of rent in a traditional office. There are no additional costs for business rates, lighting & power, security, cleaning, building & plant maintenance, insurance etc. The only additional costs, on top of rent, are usually for telephone/internet usage which are normally charged at standard BT rates.

Neither are there any charges for furnishings which are normally the latest workstations with chairs, filing systems and tables for meeting rooms. This is usually a significant cost for any occupier and is included in the serviced office rent. Almost all serviced offices are fully fitted out with Category 5 wiring for computer networking.

The length of the agreement. Licence agreements are usually signed when you rent serviced space or managed space whether it be office, Workshop, etc.... These can be for as little as 1 to 12 months, making this an ideal temporary or long term solution. Lease agreements cover longer periods of time and are usually signed for a minimum of 1 to 3 years.

Licence agreements are also very straight forward and do not require a solicitor to get involved. Lease agreements however will require legal advice and involvement.
