When setting up a workspace, businesses typically have two key options: leasing traditional office space or opting for serviced offices.
Although serviced offices are gaining popularity, their advantages are often misunderstood. We aim to change this by showing business owners how serviced offices offer a more affordable, flexible and enjoyable way to work.
A leased office is let to a business owner by a landlord for a lengthy period of time. A minimum term can be between three and five years. Furniture, equipment, cleaning and more will also be down to the business owner to then arrange themselves and cover the cost of this.
In contrast, a serviced office space is managed by an office provider. Spaces can come fully furnished and ready for clients to use from day one. Trends suggest serviced offices are becoming more popular, and it’s clear to see why when they deliver convenience, flexibility and cost-efficiency all in one simple package.
In this blog, we’ll explore the numerous advantages of choosing an Arena serviced office over a traditional leased office…
Fully inclusive
We always keep our pricing clear, concise and comprehensive. An Arena office space includes reception services, regular cleaning, maintenance, security, utilities, secure parking, and more - all covered by your monthly rent! Did you know you can save (x) over three years with Arena?
Opting for a leased office often leads to significant additional costs for various extras, causing your monthly expenses to be higher and more unpredictable than anticipated. At Arena, we simplify the process by managing all these details for you, offering a fixed monthly rate. This allows you to focus on what matters most - growing your business!
Freedom to be flexible
Upsizing or downsizing is effortless with Arena’s serviced offices. Thanks to the support of our dedicated team, you can quickly transition to a larger or smaller workspace as your needs change. We’ll assist you with moving furniture, setting up equipment, and getting settled, ensuring your relocation is as smooth and seamless as possible.
In contrast, leased offices often involve long-term commitments, making it difficult to adjust your workspace as your business needs change. This inflexibility can lead to unnecessary costs and inefficiencies, limiting your ability to respond quickly to market fluctuations and impacting overall productivity.
Networking opportunities
An Arena office building isn’t just a building - it’s a vibrant and inspiring business community where partnerships blossom. You can make new connections and expand your network just through the space you work from.
Our centre teams enjoy hosting a range of events for clients to help them get away from their desks and mix with their neighbours, opening up a whole range of networking opportunities. When you move into an Arena office, you’ll become a part of a lively business community.
20 per cent free space
When you choose a serviced office, you unlock access to a wide array of shared spaces and facilities. At Arena Offices, you’ll benefit from an extra 20 per cent free space, from our beautifully designed breakout areas, fully equipped kitchens, seating areas, leisure facilities, and outdoor spaces. These thoughtfully designed environments improve collaboration and enhance productivity beyond your desk.
Being part of the Arena community means you’re not confined to just your primary office space - you can work at all 11 Arena locations! Clients have access to each of our centres across Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, and Surrey, allowing you to work or have meetings from whichever location suits you best.
A professional edge
Your workspace is a vital part of your brand's image. Our welcoming centre teams and beautifully designed award-winning interiors create a welcoming and professional atmosphere, ensuring you make a fantastic first impression the moment your visitors walk through the door. Leased offices often lack these thoughtful details, but by choosing Arena, you can truly stand out from your competition.
Leased offices typically offer basic, uninspired spaces that often require significant investment in design and upkeep to match the same level of professionalism. Without the immediate support and thoughtful details found at Arena, businesses in leased offices may struggle to create a polished, welcoming environment that leaves a lasting impression on your team and clients.
Space to perform
We redefine the conventional workspace experience. Unlike typical desk and chair office providers, our serviced offices and studios offer dynamic and creative spaces tailored to the unique needs of your business.
Designed for companies seeking a customisable environment that aligns with their specific requirements, our offices provide the flexibility to shape a workspace that reflects your brand.
From Ofsted-approved tuition centres and hygiene-standard-approved cancer clinics to hypnotherapy services, physiotherapists, personal trainers, fabric shops, aesthetics clinics, and judo centres - our diverse workspaces can accommodate a wide range of businesses. If you're unsure whether our workspaces are suitable for you, we'd love to learn more about your business and explore how we can accommodate your needs.
At Arena Offices, we offer more than just a workspace. We’ve created beautifully designed serviced offices that make your workday easier and more enjoyable, with the flexibility, facilities, and support your business needs to succeed.
