Business Centres in East Sussex
Looking for a suitable working environment for your business?
Locate East Sussex highlights some of the high-quality flexible office space this county has to offer, ranging from hot desking facilities to permanent offices in managed centres. From coastal towns and bustling economic centres to rolling countryside, East Sussex has plenty to offer in terms of serviced office space.
Short term, or temporary leases, or as little as one day with hotdesking, makes using a serviced office the most flexible option, especially useful for new and SMEs who may not require, or be able to commit to permanent real estate. Whether it’s your permanent base or just somewhere to go for a change of scenery and to concentrate, there is a wide range of business centres and co-working space options to meet your needs.
When hiring workspace, you only need to pay for what you need. Whether that is a private office or just a few hours a week at a shared desk, there is no need to have large, underutilised office spaces using up precious capital. On top of this, all the maintenance costs associated with running an office are generally included with the fees, reducing the stress and responsibility on the business. The costs required to set up an office, from furniture to IT to photocopiers, can quickly become very expensive. Using shared facilities mitigates these costs, and also reduces the responsibility of maintaining them, which in the short term, or for smaller businesses is far more cost efficient.
Most serviced offices have staffed receptions. Not only can the business rely on having someone to support them with any issues they have within the office, but they can also aid the professionalism of the business. Whether that is having someone to greet and direct customers to the office, or just having someone to sign for parcels and provide efficient mail handling, it can improve your business image to your customers
Being surrounded by other SMEs gives an ideal opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and share knowledge. Many business centres organise events and workshops for their clients and external businesses that could be informative or provide useful connections to clients, co-workers, or related businesses. Being part of a community can also improve the social lives of workers and general happiness at work, as it reduces isolation or overreliance on digital communication, which can both have negative impacts on mental health and productivity. There may also be access to support and advice as part of the facilities offering, whether that be in-house or through partnerships with the wider business community.
Managed business workspaces should have strong communication infrastructures such as fast and stable broadband, built in phone lines and mail and posting services. This will improve the efficiency and capabilities of the business, as there will reduce time due to connection or communication issues, and faster internet connection with which to perform business requirements.
Compared to working from home or using a café or similar using flexible office space appears professional, whilst also aiding focus and productivity during working hours. Many centres have access to meeting or conference rooms, meaning meetings can take place in a productive environment.
