The real estate market, especially in major cities such as Berlin, is highly competitive and many companies looking for an office have to contend with many challenges. Interesting properties often exceed the budget or existing spaces do not meet the expectations and requirements. In addition, if there is interest in suitable space, there are many competitors vying for a property. For many smaller companies, the rental periods demanded by landlords are also a problem. In this article, we would like to show you the advantages of renting your new office from a business center such as Octavus Office & Service.
Saving empty space in times of working from home with offices in business centers
Anyone looking for office space today and having to deal with the investment costs inevitably ends up asking themselves the question: "How efficiently do I want to proceed?" Particularly in large cities such as Berlin, with high rents and various competitors, it is even more important to look at cost efficiency. Good planning based on rational rather than emotional aspects and decisions is recommended here. However, focusing on costs does not necessarily mean lowering standards and shortlisting inferior properties in poor locations. On the contrary: by only renting office space that is actually used in a business center such as Octavus Office & Service, you can welcome your customers in a top location and in attractive office space and still be cost-efficient.
Companies that have already moved into office space are often faced with the challenge that a lot of space remains unused, for example because colleagues are working from home. If you only occupy an office for people present in a business center, you save the costs for this unused space. If more colleagues want to come to the office again, there is often the option to expand or book day offices at short notice. This allows you to react flexibly to the circumstances and save unnecessary costs. With Octavus, for example, ancillary costs such as electricity, cleaning, furnishings etc. are already included in the rental price. Common areas such as kitchens can also be shared, whereas companies would have to bear these costs themselves if they rented their own office space.
Reduction in personnel costs by renting an office in a business center
In addition to ongoing rent and ancillary costs, personnel costs are usually a company's biggest financial expense. Receptionists, secretaries, assistants and service staff cost a lot of money. It is also not easy for many companies to find good staff. Recruiting processes cost money and time and qualified employees are expensive. Business centers like Octavus already have trained staff with many years of experience who staff the reception desk to receive your customers, answer calls for you and inform you about them, receive your mail and forward it to you digitally using the Scan&Mail service, for example, and accompany you and your guests at conferences. This provides you with administrative support and service for your customers - without you having to pay extra for these benefits. This aspect saves you money and allows you to concentrate on your core tasks.
Your own office in a business center creates flexibility and more freedom for you and your company
The noticeable changes in today's business world in particular often change the requirements that companies have for offices in large cities such as Berlin. In the past, it was customary to contractually agree long rental periods, which is no longer quite up to date. The reality is different for large office spaces: long rental periods are still often required by office landlords today, which small companies are often unable to guarantee and therefore face challenges.
By renting an office in a business center such as Octavus, you remain flexible, can react quickly to changes such as expansion or downsizing and can also rent office space and conference rooms at short notice. In addition, with Octavus' prestigious business address right in the heart of Berlin at Leipziger Platz - Potsdamer Platz, you can receive your customers on site and always leave a professional impression. The additional postal and telephone service then ensures all-round support with flexible framework conditions!
Improve your image and make a good impression with an office in a prime location
Renting your own office or entire office spaces in prime locations in major cities such as Berlin is not only expensive, but also difficult due to the high level of competition. As a result, many companies are forced to switch to other districts and addresses. However, if you decide to rent an office within a business center such as Octavus, you do not have to do without a business address in a top location and thus significantly enhance the value of your company. This address can be used in the imprint of your own website, on business cards and business stationery and creates trust on the customer side and prestige among potential customers. Octavus is located in the heart of Berlin, not far from Potsdamer Platz on Leipziger Platz - a well-known and popular address in Berlin. This not only makes it easy for customers to reach your office, but also gives them a positive impression as soon as they see the address. If the customers are also on site, you will be even more convinced. You can also take advantage of this prestigious postal address as a virtual customer if you don't need a physical office.
Additional services provided by the Business Center offer you more than just office space
If you decide against renting your own space directly from a landlord and opt for one or more offices in a business center such as Octavus, there are many more advantages for you compared to a conventional office rental. Not only do you get the office, but the rental price already includes the ancillary and cleaning costs. You can also take advantage of many other additional services: there is a manned reception desk to greet your customers, you can book meeting rooms flexibly and at short notice for appointments, your mail is received and even sent to you by scan on request, you can use the telephone service (the employees answer the phone in your company name and represent you professionally) and inform you about the calls - saving you a lot of time for secretarial tasks and therefore also money.
An additional effect of using office space in business centers is the issue of sustainability. The shared common areas with coffee machines, printers or even bathrooms support sharing and therefore sustainability.
