Is now the time to change your office?

Nobody could have predicted a global pandemic as part of their business plan and whilst it's had a huge impact on so many lives, this could be a brilliant opportunity to have a rethink about your office space.  

If you're a business owner with a large commercial office in Milton Keynes, then taking on a serviced office in a space like Bucks Biz could give you the flexibility to scale your office requirements up and down as your business needs it.  Here's some brilliant reasons why flexible serviced offices in Milton Keynes could be the perfect solution for your business post-Coronavirus.

Size

How big a commercial space do you really need? It would be lovely to have a big office with reception area and break room, but do you need all that space, particularly if your business survived with more Zoom calls between both your clients and your team? Don’t tie your business in to large rents and long commitment periods unless you really have to.  You might have dreams of lots of employees and a large office, but don’t pay for it if large numbers of your team are now based at home. Consider leasing a serviced office in Milton Keynes that's smaller than what you've currently got and hold your team reviews and client meetings in one of our meeting rooms for hire.  

Location

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that the world can rely on digital methods to communicate effectively. So, do you need to be pay extortionate rents on the high street or would it be better to be based slightly out of town (with the guarantee of a office spaces with car parking like we have at Bucks Biz)?Prime locations are an expensive essential for lots of businesses, but what about yours? Would your customers prefer an out of town location with free parking?  Would easy access and transport links help? What about a 24-hour reception for package deliveries?

Facilities

Small business owners can really waste a lot of time outsourcing skilled tasks, managing office and equipment, and running out for milk for the tearoom!  That cute little office on the high street might look great, but if you spend all your time sorting out leaky taps and cleaning supplies, how much real work will you get done?  Consider an out of town business complex that has maintenance provided and complimentary businesses on site - it might just save you a lot of time and effort.

At Bucks Biz, it’s easy to start small with a two-person office space or studio, and move into bigger spaces as you grow.  You can grow with confidence too, because it’s just as easy to downsize again should you need to. Don’t worry about the coffee either - at our Milton Keynes Business Centre we’ve got a great on-site coffee shop and even a bar for that after-work drink!
