Five questions to ask your serviced office provider

Dec 2025

Finding the right serviced office extends to more than a desk and Wi-Fi. The spaces you choose can shape how your team interacts and performs, a great office unlocks many other qualities within your team such as collaboration and creativity.
We’ve worked with teams of all sizes and industries. Over time, we’ve learned what really matters when choosing a space. Here are five questions to ask your provider before you sign on the dotted line.
  1. How flexible is the space?
Teams aren’t static. Projects expand while headcounts grow often and priorities shift. A serviced office that can adapt helps teams stay nimble. Flexibility allows your people to work in ways thatmatch the pace of your business.
  1. What kind of community or culture exists?
The energy in an office is a force that can accelerate ideas and engagement. Some spaces feel transactional while others collaborative. Understanding the culture of the building and how tenantsinteract can make a big difference in how much your team thrives.
  1. Are the spaces designed for different types of work?
Teams perform best when the space supports both focused work and collaboration. Providers who balance quiet areas with more upbeat meeting zones are smartly paying attention to design elements that shape how people move and interact, look for spaces and environments that boost both productivity and creativity.
  1. How do you handle technology and support?
Connectivity and reliability matter more than ever. Having the right tools and infrastructure backed up by on-site support to keep work flowing smoothly is imperative. Ask how quickly issues are resolved and what systems are in place to support both day-to-day work and unexpected demands.
5. What's included beyond the desk?
