Traditional, Virtual or Serviced—What’s the Best Office Option for You?
One of the major recurring expenses for entrepreneurs is the rent of office space for their startup. But that is not the only expense to fret about. There are internet and business grade facilities as well as furnishing to invest in. All in all, it can be quite an additional financial burden when you are just getting your feet wet in the business world.
Many people opt to work from home but this is not an effective solution as it doesn’t allow you to hire people to become part of your team. Also, there are a myriad of distractions to combat when working from home and requires one to be extremely disciplined. A lot of energy is also spent in switching off the personal mode and moving to the professional mode.
Virtual Offices:
There are some who have tried their hand at virtual offices as well. This will require one to work with a team which is remote and connected digitally. This might be a possibility if you have a team that is technologically savvy and capable of working without onsite supervision. Yet, with issues of power outages in Karachi, this kind of working equation is also challenging. Meetings or conferences require the team to meet once in a month or fortnightly which can also be cumbersome to arrange.
Traditional Offices:
A traditional office in a business hub sounds like the best move but again the money that goes into making that rented space a functional office is staggering. A traditional office would basically just be four walls and a ceiling and might require you to bring in a designer to give it the look you want to impress your clients. Most importantly it would need you to install equipment including computers, printers, WiFi connections to mention a few to get your business operational.
Serviced Offices:
Business gurus advise that the best option for start-ups is to invest in serviced offices. Serviced offices are owned and managed by facility management companies yet they offer entrepreneurs high-speed Internet and business grade facilities, so you can transition into space easily.
With a staffed reception, shared conference and seminar rooms and short and long-term agreements a serviced office is just what your business launch needs. The popularity of serviced offices has risen because they cut down on overheads and property management functions, allowing staff to focus on what really matters—their business!
