With the global recession still very much being felt in certain sectors in South Africa, companies need to find the office space solution that will allow them to shrink and grow organically as well.

Defining your office space needs.

How much space does an employee actually take up?

What are their furniture needs and requirements?

How much floor space does all this take up?

These are not simple questions to answer and the answers are also not set in stone. Defining your office space requirements is better looked at on the macro level raher than a micro one (which is where the questions above would live).

The questions you need to be asking when looking at your office space needs are :

• What can my business afford?
• Where do I need to be based?
• What impression does my office space need to give?

These are all macro office space questions that The Business Centre can definitely help you answer with their range of office space solutions. From virtual offices through to large multi roomed serviced offices, The Business Centre can help make you a solution that is as scalable and dynamic as your company.

Virtual offices.

Virtual offices are the perfect office space solution for businesses who are making the leap from a home based business to a fully fledged business with office professional offices. The virtual office allows you to keep your operations at your home base while you allow the front of your business to operate independently. In essence you can hold your client meetings in on of the fully equipped meeting rooms at one of The Business Centres while your work force are kept in your current office space. This gives your company a professional face with a really low cost.

Serviced office space.

Services offices are the next level up. Serviced offices can be as small as a one man office all the way up to a multi-department company utilizing many different office sizes. This fully fledged office space solution allows you to scale your office space requirement as you scale your business. Growing and shrinking as your business does not ensure that you are always paying for the amount of space you need and not for wasted space.

Serviced offices have another advantage. Cleaning staff come through your office on a regular basis to clean the bins and remove used coffee cups from desk so that your office is always kept at its neatest. This means that you don’t have to fit the bill for having a full time cleaner to look after your office.
