Question 1

What is a serviced office?

Accepted Answer

A serviced office is a fully furnished, managed workspace where rent, rates, utilities, internet, and reception services are all bundled into a single monthly payment. Leases are flexible — typically monthly rolling — making them ideal for businesses that need workspace without long-term commitment.

Question 2

What is the difference between a serviced office and a managed office?

Accepted Answer

A serviced office is a ready-to-use, shared-amenity workspace operated by a provider. A managed office is a bespoke, self-contained space fitted out to the occupier's specification and operated on their behalf — giving more brand control and privacy, usually at a larger scale.
