Why We Don't Provide Fully Serviced Office Space

Tanshire Business Park • Oct 17, 2023

Finding the right office space for your business is an important decision, and one that can be tricky; you want a workspace that feels comfortable and productive, but also offers the necessary amenities to help your team thrive. That’s why many businesses turn to serviced offices, which offer attractive features like receptionists, pre-furnished suites, and access to meeting rooms.

At Tanshire Business Park, however, we strive for something different. We believe that a workplace should be tailored to your specific needs, beyond that of a traditional office space or serviced office, and that meeting that requirement demands more than merely a few amenities. That’s why we take our offering to the next level; rather than offering simple serviced offices, we focus on creating a bespoke space that is the perfect match for your business.

What Is a Fully Serviced Office Space?

In simple terms, a serviced office is a type of fully furnished office space that is leased out to tenants, usually on a short-term basis. It typically includes receptionists, administrative staff, pre-furnished suites, meeting rooms and other amenities. Serviced offices are often attractive because they provide a ready-made workspace that’s easy to move into, and that can be scaled to fit your team’s needs – but they may not always be the best option.

Despite the benefits, managed offices can also come with a number of disadvantages, and these include:

No Option to Customise

One of the main issues with serviced office spaces is that the amenities can be too generic. Everyone’s business is different, and while some businesses may benefit from the convenience of having a receptionist on hand, others may need more specialized support such as virtual assistants or IT infrastructure. As a result, you may end up spending money on attributes that are not essential to your business, while missing out on elements that could be very useful.

No Flexibility for Growth

Another issue with serviced offices is that they often lack the flexibility to accommodate your team’s growth. As your business expands, you may need more space or different amenities that are not provided by the serviced office provider. This can leave you stuck in a contract that no longer meets your needs, and unable to scale your business as desired.

Unnecessary Costs

As we mentioned, serviced offices can often work out to be expensive, as you pay for features that may not be necessary for your business. This includes receptionists, administrative staff and additional amenities such as meeting rooms you may never require.

Why Tanshire Business Park Is Different

At Tanshire Business Park, we understand that businesses come in all shapes and sizes, and that each organisation has different needs and preferences. This appreciation of individuality is why we don’t offer a fully serviced office package; rather, we create bespoke solutions for our tenants to ensure their workspace is tailored to their business.

Some of the main advantages that your business can benefit from include:

A Bespoke Fit Out Service

One of the primary advantages of Tanshire Business Park is the opportunity to benefit from a bespoke fit out service. This means that our team will work with you to design and construct the interior of your office, so it meets your exact requirements. We can help you by fitting in furniture directly within your office space and designing a layout which optimises how you carry out your daily tasks, ensuring everything is perfectly tailored to the day-to-day needs of your operation.

In addition to design, we can also play a more direct role in procuring and installing the necessary furniture for your organisation, eliminating any hassle that comes with sourcing these items yourself. Plus, our team will be on hand throughout the entire fit out process to offer advice and support, making sure your office turns out just the way you envisioned it. Not only does this help you get the results you discussed and visualise, but it also eliminates the need for any third-party contractors - an extra headache that has been known to add time and cost.

Access to Expert Advice

At Tanshire Business Park, we don’t just provide a workspace; we also offer our tenants access to expert advice. Our team consists of experienced professionals, who are always on hand to answer any questions you may have and offer their expertise when it comes to creating the perfect office space for your business. Whether you need help with the design of your office, advice on how to make the most out of your space, or insight into what technology is available, we are here to provide support and guidance.

We understand that every business is different, and that’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team works closely with you to create the perfect workspace for your organisation.

On Site Amenities

We also offer access to a range of on-site amenities at Tanshire Business Park, working to guarantee that your space is comfortable and fully equipped. In addition to modern offices to suit your business needs, you can also access our on-site cafe, The Pavilion, which is the perfect spot for a lunchtime break or quick catch up. Showers and toilet facilities are also available throughout the site - perfect if you choose to cycle or run to work - and there is ample parking to facilitate the needs of your customers and staff alike.

All of our offices are also equipped with high-speed internet to ensure you can stay connected with ease, as well as fully equipped kitchen facilities to help you save money on catering for any meetings or events, as well as offering space for staff to refuel and rehydrate.

As an added bonus, the business park is set in the idyllic Surrey countryside, and our site is filled with communal lawns, wildlife, and gardens - the perfect antidote to a stressful day of work. Overall, you can rest assured that we offer a comprehensive and unique business park experience.
