What are serviced offices?

Serviced offices are available on contract terms from 1-36 months. Delivering space from a self-contained building, dedicated floors, and private offices. Serviced offices are customisable but also offer the plug and play delivery for simple move in scenarios. The office provider designs, procures, and manages any customization. The acquisition process for serviced offices is generally between 1-4 weeks; however, this depends on customisation levels. You sign up to a licence agreement with the office provider to secure the office.

What are managed offices?

Managed offices are available on contract terms from 18-36 months. In all cases, the provider customises the space as part of the package. The acquisition process for managed offices is generally between 4-12 weeks; however, this depends on customisation levels and whether it’s a standard or short-form lease. You enter into a lease with the landlord and a separate services agreement with the managed services provider.

What are the key differences between serviced and managed offices?

Serviced offices deliver more than private office space. With access to amenities, lounges, cafes, gyms and meeting room venues. Greater flexibility with contract terms and the ability to scale up or down within the contract. Managed offices give the look and feel of a leasehold office. Except everything is made easier from the fitout, setup, and ongoing day-to-day management when compared to a leasehold solution. If you are seeking something with access to other facilities and areas for the team to use or roam around, you would be better placed within serviced offices. Managed offices give sole use of the floor or building you are contracted to, not enhanced amenities or facilities.
