Managed offices have serious advantages over traditional types of office space solutions, especially for smaller businesses, foreign sales departments, and new start-up corporations looking to avoid the commitments of leasing in the face of an uncertain financial future economy.  Differing in slight, yet significant ways from a serviced office solution, managed offices (as the name suggests) gives more power of tenure and administrative rights to an office property rentee.

For starters, managed offices hold more flexible rental lengths over conventional offices; a typical length is about a year, adequate for a small business with a proven method of generating revenue without requiring a substantial investment in time or expenses should a sour economy affect the corporation negatively in the future.  Like a serviced office, managed offices can quickly be available for immediate business, yet for a corporation with their own resources (i.e. a full reception staff, pre-existing IT/telecoms services and equipment, etc.) it gives the business an advantage in securing stable property rental agreements, while retaining more control over day-to-day business expenses.

The ability to find locations in Class A office areas is yet another strong benefit managed offices hold.  With the more flexible leasing arrangements, a media or marketing corporation with a strong image to represent can focus more of their efforts on attracting the right clientele for their services.  Unlike with serviced offices, the managed office solution can give business owners the ability to add their most professional touch to the décor of the office, taking full advantage of a prestigious location when a high quality image is important for success.  Therein lies the major different between managed offices and serviced—quality and visual appeal generally holds more value for managed offices rather than the cost and functionality benefits offered with serviced offices
