Serviced suite or conventional lease
A serviced private suite bundles furniture, internet, reception and cleaning into the monthly figure; a conventional lease gives you a shell, a multi-year term and a fit-out bill. The same 20 buildings also carry coworking desks, meeting rooms, business addresses and virtual offices, so a team can move between formats without changing address.
