1. What is a Regus business centre? How is it different from a traditional office?
Regus business centres are conveniently located in city centres and near major transportation hubs. With Regus business centres you get a complete, professional office environment included in one monthly fee. You'll also get professional receptionists, state-of-the-art telephone and IT services, kitchen areas and business lounges.
With traditional offices, you have to navigate the costly and time-consuming world of setting up and configuring your workspace. Before you can be productive, you must:
- pay for altering office space
- sign a fixed-length office lease
- provide office furniture
- contract with multiple service providers (phone, Internet, maintenance)
- hire office staff
- buy or rent office equipment
- build or configure connectivity infrastructure
- spend time, resources and money
With Regus business centres, your office space solutions are a single phone call or mouse click away. Simply plug in your computer and start working — and leave the rest to us.
2. What types of terms come with Regus business centres?
With traditional office space you often need a legal representative to negotiate a complicated office lease before you can rent or lease an office. But using a Regus business centre for your office space solution couldn't be easier, especially when compared to renting traditional office space. We have a one-page office agreement instead of a 20-page office space lease. We give you control over the term of your office agreement — from three months to five years — so you have the ability to grow as your business needs change. And with our professional support staff you have on-demand access to administrative support and office equipment without hiring a permanent staff or making a capital investment.
3. Are Regus business centres located where I need to do business?
The Regus Group has business centres in 950 locations in 70 countries, including over 90 throughout the UK. With so many office locations in key cities worldwide, chances are one is close to where you need to do business. There's no need to conduct an extensive search for office space to rent that is suited to your needs — simply use our office location finder and take your pick! And consider a Regus Virtual Office if you need multiple addresses around the globe and an office in only one location.
4. What if my office space needs change?
No problem. Since each business centre typically has between 100 and 400 individual workstations, we can accommodate your changing office space needs with ease. You are locked into a lease agreement when you rent a traditional office, but at a Regus business centre you can expand or shrink the size of your office space as your needs change. You only pay for the office space you need.
5. How do Regus business centres support my business when I travel?
As a Regus customer you have access to our 950 business centre locations. You'll receive priority access to Regus meeting rooms, videoconferencing and business lounge facilities. Our business centres have trained, multilingual assistants on hand to help you with copy and printing services as well as reception and concierge services. Each business centre features a common look-and-feel experience so you know what you can expect at every Regus office location.
6. Can I choose my office configuration?
Regus business centres offer various configurations to suit your needs. In a Regus business centre you do not incur any of the costly setup fees involved in renting traditional office space. Choose from a single-person office, a large executive office, a team office or an open floor plan — all fully furnished and equipped. All Regus offices can be equipped with our advanced IT and telecoms packages without delay.
7. Do I need to supply my own office equipment?
No. All Regus business centres come equipped with everything you need. We have contemporary office furniture, high-speed internet connectivity, fully staffed reception areas and state-of-the-art business lounges and kitchen areas. Best of all you can expect the same high-quality office services at every one of our 950 business centres worldwide. When you lease or rent office space the traditional way you must fit out the entire office at your own expense, which can take weeks or even months. With Regus business centres you can begin working immediately.
8. Do you have staffing available at Regus business centres?
In a Regus business centre a fully trained team member is always on hand to handle your day-to-day administrative duties or on an as-needed basis for those special projects. Unlike traditional leasing there is no need to hire an outside administrative staff to service your office. Our business centres come equipped with high-speed Internet and advanced telecom infrastructure.
9. When can I get started in my new office?
The process to rent traditional office space can take weeks or even months. Our business centres can be configured to your specifications and ready in no time. You can sign your Regus office agreement on one day and start working in your new office the next.
10. How will my business be visible in a Regus business centre?
When you want a visible presence, a Regus business centre delivers. We're pleased to offer internal branding within our business centre locations, allowing you to display your company logo within your office. We offer wall-mounted panels and reception directory panels, ordered and fitted. Simply provide us with your logo and we'll do the rest. So, in addition to all the benefits of working in a Regus business centre, your office will present a seamless yet individual image. Contact your local business centre for details.
