Smart office in a business center
or a regular office in Dubai?Why do entrepreneurs increasingly choose a "smart office” as an alternative to a regular one?
What are the differences and how can you make the right choice for the benefit of your business?The Office as a Service, or smart office model, allows you to immediately move into a space that is completely ready for employees to work in. This innovative concept of a flexible service approach is in contrast to commercial real estate rental. You maintain high mobility, the ability to transform, expand or reduce staffing levels and add or drop working stations without overpaying for extra space. This is a totally modern and unique solution that does away with the need for repairs and renovation, totally avoids hidden costs, and is not tied into long-term leases. Overheads for office accommodation can be instantly calculated and planned for in cash flow forecasts.
Renting a smart office is quickly becoming a
popular global trendBeing able to adopt modern, flexible and progressive management
This is one reason why smart office rental is becoming a popular global trend. In fact, it is the successful business model for US company We Work, which has created a network of smart offices all over the world and now has assets estimated at $ 20 billion.
Why are smart offices increasingly in demand in
the UAE?-
State requirements
To incorporate a local (mainland) company and most types of legal entities in the UAE’s Free Trade Zones (FTZ) you require a physical office. It must comply with all the standards laid own by the Ministry of Labor and provide comfortable working conditions for full-time employees. The government minimum requirement is a very modest area of just 20 sq. m / 215 sq. ft. However, is almost impossible to find a regular office of this size for rent and subletting is prohibited.
-
Prestige
A company’s office is its outward image and should give its customers a high level of confidence in it. If you want you and your company to be taken seriously, you need to choose prestigious business districts and renovate the office premises to a high standard that matches modern commercial design trends.
-
Reception services
First impressions do count and an attractive and manned reception area is important to greet visitors and create an excellent opinion of your business from the outset. Reception staff frequently do not perform other functions and may be considered just another overhead. However, an empty reception area immediately sets alarm bells ringing in the minds of your customers and contractors and calls into question the reliability and substance of your company.
-
Meeting rooms
Part of the way business is conducted in the UAE is that meetings never take place in a person’s office but rather in a meeting room. Therefore it is necessary to have a separate meeting room and equip it with whatever audio and video equipment may be required. You get all this included when you rent an office in a business center. You have access to a wide range of solutions for holding business events, from small meeting rooms to spacious conference spaces.
-
Office maintenance costs
Renting a smart office means no more paying for premises maintenance or repairs, no equipment maintenance, security or janitorial staff, tea and coffee purchases, and so on. When you add up all the elements of simply maintaining a regular office, the overheads mount up amazingly quickly. Whether you hire staff or subcontract the work, it is a significant cost that adds absolutely nothing to the bottom line.
-
Image of business success
Every successful business needs to plan for expansion and that includes making allowances to accommodate a growing team of people. What you don’t want is an empty space that is waiting to be filled up, costing you money, and giving an impression of poor planning or a not-so-successful business.
