What are the benefits of temporary office space?

Using temporary office space provides many benefits even if you already have your own permanent workplace.

Lower Overheads

The best temporary office spaces, like those at Brightfield Business Hub, provide everything your business and team members needs to tackle even the largest, most complex projects.

From comfortable modern office furniture to super-fast Wi-Fi to daily office cleaning and any maintenance. Everything is taken care of so you can concentrate on running your business.

All that for less than you would pay if you maintained your own office.

Building Infrastructure

Infrastructure is crucial for the success of your business. Storage, supplies, repairs, heating and cooling and technology all play a big part, and contribute significantly to how well your team works.

Some temporary office spaces will just rent you a room. At BBH, we include all the infrastructure you need so you can focus less on your team’s workspace and more on the quality of their work.

Create a Professional Image

Working in a poorly lit, windowless room with used office furniture in a dodgy location may be great for your bottom line, but could be very detrimental to your company image.

Temporary office space at BBH provides a professional image right from the start, in fact with some packages you can turn up, move in and get on with working. You don’t have to spend your valuable time and money bringing your workspace up to scratch. Professional décor and modern business furniture are available 365/24/7, so you don’t need to be nervous about inviting that big client, angel investor or the bank manager.

Flexible Space

Flexibility and agile are essential characteristics for growing and maintaining a successful business these days. Temporary office space provides that flexibility. At almost a moment’s notice you can expand and contract the amount of space you use. The monthly package options and flexible approach provided by BBH make upsizing and downsizing easier than ever.

For example you can start with space for two in July, expand to space for five in October, and then contract to space for three in February. All without having to deal with furniture issues, decorating, or a negative impact on productivity.

Comfortable

A comfortable working environment is essential for helping your team stay focused, engaged, and productive while they work. In fact we would suggest that the comfort of your office space is a crucial factor. Creating a space your team want to work , and it goes a long way toward impressing your customers or clients who might visit during work hours.

At BBH, we strive to create a comfortable working environment into all of our temporary office spaces. From the shared kitchen facilities, to the breakout areas and lounges, the well appointed meeting rooms we aim to create areas, you and your team will be comfortable, happy, and productive in all day long.

Networking

Face to Face networking is essential regardless of the size of your business. You need to foster and grow your professional connections to help your business prosper.

Running your business, a team, or even just yourself from a temporary office space in a coworking environment makes it possible to network with other professionals while you work.

Those opportunities to meet informally with others in the kitchen facilities etc can have a significant impact on the improvement, evolution, and refinement of your product or service.

Innovation & Creativity

Exposure to new ideas is one of the biggest benefits of temporary office space, but it is also one of the most overlooked. When your team works alongside people from other backgrounds and businesses, they’ll have access to new sources of knowledge, ways of working and creativity.

Working in your own secluded closed office space is isolating. Gaining knowledge and creativity from other disciplines and sectors makes it easier for your team to absorb inspiration and new ideas from those around them; and to importantly adapt those ideas into your business.

Social & Community

Whether you’re a team of one or one hundred, working at home or in your own dedicated office can quickly become lonely and uninspiring. Working from home during the pandemic has highlighted some of the aspects and issues that some have felt whilst working in isolation.

When loneliness is high and inspiration is low, productivity decreases dramatically. A simple solution to this dilemma is to base your employee / team in a temporary office space where coworking takes place.

If you’re worried about there being too much social contact, interactions and therefore distractions, consider partnering with an office-space provider like BBH to have the best of both worlds.

With serviced offices you and your team can occupy private offices in a larger space while having all the benefits of a coworking environment and the benefits of social interaction with others just metres away

Generate Business

Temporary office space within a coworking environment provides plenty of opportunities for you to “advertise” your business and show how it can benefit the businesses around it.

Think of the networking and social interaction you and your team do in the kitchen and other common areas as a way to make your business more attractive to others. Exposure like that leads to more work and more opportunities for your company.

You can’t get that kind of exposure without the benefits of a coworking environment, and you certainly can’t get that exposure if your team is isolated in a dedicated workspace every day.

Easy and Fast Setup

Apart from moving house, there are few things more stressful than moving from one office to another. It is well recognised that one of the biggest drawbacks of changing offices is the disruption. The amount of time it takes for your team settle in and work back up to full productivity can eat into many man hours.

But when you transition your business from its old location to a temporary office space like BBH, the move is simple. That’s because you don’t have to worry about the overwhelming details as BBH will do it all for you.

BBH handle and mange all the hard work of setting up furniture, installing technology, decorating the space, and making sure the utilities are working.

All you and your team have to do is report for work in the morning and get right down to business.

An office move shouldn’t put your team under additional pressure. Switching to a temporary office space is simple and may help you keep your workflow towards one hundred percent during the transition.

Community

There are few things as beneficial as working alongside a community of like-minded individuals to invigorate your team. That’s exactly what you get when you work in a temporary office space like BBH.

The coworking environment fosters a very real sense of community. This is a very important factor to BBH and can have a profound influence on the way you and your team operate.

Facilities

Having an on site gym would allow those in the office to stay physically fit (and also offers additional social interaction

An onsite cafe and restaurant that offer snacks to full blown meals and great interanl and external dining areas would mean that employees never need to be hungry. For those who want to prepare / microwave their own meals extensive kitchen facilities would be useful

Childcare through a modern on site nursery could be incredibly convenient for those with little ones to care for.

All of these facilities are available at Brightfield Business Hub to those who are looking for office space hire.

Can temporary office space become long term office space

Temporary office space can, indeed, become long-term office space. In fact, many businesses are finding that temporary office space isn’t just a short-term, stop-gap solution to an unexpected workspace need.

Many companies large and small are opting to occupy their temporary office space for the long-term rather than locking themselves into an expensive lease that may not suit their needs in a few weeks or months.

Reasons for doing this include the low overheads, professional environment, built-in infrastructure, and myriad other benefits that temporary office space has to offer.

It’s no wonder, then, that companies of all sorts are occupying temporary office space for twelve, twenty four or thirty six months instead of signing an expensive (and restrictive) traditional leases.
