Due to a global paradigm shift in the way we think about work and our working environment, the demand for serviced & virtual offices in Australia is on the rise.
We are searching for alternatives to address our evolving needs around social distancing in the workplace, work/life balance, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, agility and ease in our professional landscapes.
With more and more business owners, entrepreneurs and start-ups moving towards the serviced & virtual office model it is difficult to understand why anyone would enter into an expensive fixed term lease agreement (often 3 5 years).
The COVID-19 requirements of limiting the number of people in lifts to comply with social distancing has also made getting to work in your own building a time consuming and frustrating process.
The costs to set up your own office quickly add up, including the installation of furniture and technology, front office staff, paying a premium for location, car parking and cleaning...the list goes on. This can only add pressure to you and your bottom line just to 'keep the lights on'.
Serviced Offices - "it does what it says on the tin"
Serviced Offices are established business centres that provide fully furnished professional office spaces, conference rooms and front office staff as and when you need it.
Generally located in central business districts they provide parking and are close to public transport making them easy for you and your clients to access.
Employing a pay as you use model on your terms it is a true win-win.
Studio 42 Workspaces in East Brisbane has worked hard to respond to the changing needs of the modern workforce and the prevailing economic climate to offer exceptional value to their clients.
With private office spaces and access, high end fit outs and technology, business concierge and administration staff.
Virtual reality - the office you have when you don't have an office
Moving towards 'The Future of Work', a popular service Studio 42 provide alongside Serviced Offices is the Virtual Office.

It is hard to ignore the benefits to your bottom line that a Serviced or Virtual Office will deliver.

A virtual office package starts at $39 per month. It's one easy payment covering a list of various expenses, tick it off and get back running your business.
