Don't let your start-up be kept down by your office location search

As many business owners will tell you, especially start-ups, finding an appropriate location for your offices, with the right facilities at the right price, is one of the most challenging aspects of running a modern company.

The location alone can throw up a minefield of decisions to be addressed, such as whether it is best to be close to the city centre or on the edge of town, which are the best transport links to be close to when considering the type of clients you have, or even if your clients are likely to visit your offices in the first place.

Then there are the facilities to consider.  How large do the offices need to be?  If we expand as a business, will we need to move location or will our office facilities be able to grow with us?  Is it better to have closed offices for the managers or should we go with a more open plan environment?

Then of course you have to look at the cost.  Once you have made the decisions that you feel are right for your particular business, then you need to find somewhere that ticks all the relevant boxes for an affordable price.  No point paying over the odds to get everything right if you find yourself having to move after 6 months because you couldn’t afford the rates.

Thankfully there appears to be a company out there offering more than just a few solutions to many of the dilemmas you may have come across above.  Forsyth Business Centres have risen to the challenge by providing serviced office facilities in various convenient locations around England and Scotland.

Not only are their business centres located around the UK (and incidentally China and Hong Kong too), but in some of the major cities like London and Sheffield, to name just a couple, they have several choices on where to set up your offices.

Forsyth are not just interested in simply providing offices to rent in these great locations, then just being happy to leave you to it.  Forsyth Business Centres aim to do exactly what they say on the tin and provide serviced offices that cater for pretty much every business requirement you could think of.  Hot Desks, Telecoms, IT services, virtual offices, meeting rooms and video conferencing are the order of the day.

If you couple all these amazing facilities, all available as part of their bespoke serviced office packages, with the flexibility you have over the office layouts, and the amazingly affordable prices, then you really do have a winning combination between Forsyth’s great serviced offering and the one you provide to your  clients.
