The term ‘co-working’ may not have been used much 10 years ago, but more recently we
are seeing a rise in this communal way of working. What started out as an alternative to
working at home for freelancers quickly changed into an ‘up and coming’ way of working for
small businesses and large companies alike. BusinessLodge Bury is part of this growing
sector, offering flexible working spaces to meet a wide range of requirements.
For those that want to be their own boss and start their own business, but don’t want their
work to invade their home, serviced offices are a great answer! BusinessLodge Bury offer
the flexibility to accommodate a team that is rapidly expanding, with office spaces ranging
from 1 to 120 people, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on the success of their business
without the worry of long-term office contracts of massive capital investment restricting their
growth.
Virtual Offices are also an increasingly popular option. This is a great alternative for start-up
and small businesses. It can be cost effective and yet still give you the professionalism of
having a permanent business address, as well as offering an experienced receptionist to
handle calls and manage your incoming and outgoing mail, and you also have the option to
book meeting rooms on site.
Dimension Data have predicted that ‘enterprises that are not adapting to the changing
expectations and failing to offer a flexible, autonomous and creative work environment risk
difficulties in attracting and retaining next-generation talent’. BusinessLodge Bury offer a
wide range of virtual office services to cater to any business owner that requires the flexibility
to work from anywhere, any time, but also wants the comfort of knowing their calls and mail
are being taken care of.
Given that we spend around 13 years of our life at work, there is an increasing demand for
more fulfilling workspaces. Many freelancers use co-working spaces for the sense of
community it brings in comparison to the isolation of working alone. However, a sense of
community in the workspace can benefit anyone. Serviced offices have great networking
potential due to the number of different businesses all under one roof. That’s why
BusinessLodge Bury encourage their clients to get involved in the number of fundraising,
networking and seasonal events that they have on offer throughout the year. They
understand that workspaces are a huge part of people’s everyday lives and not just a place
to work.
The 2018 report from Savills stated that serviced office take up in the UK increased by 157%
in 2017, so we can only expect that this will continue to rise. As newer generations enter the
workplace, serviced offices like BusinessLodge Bury offer the flexibility that they desire.
For many businesses, this is a much more cost-effective way to work.
BusinessLodge Bury offer a great referral scheme to existing clients, allowing them to earn
5% of the contract value for 12 months for any new client they refer.
