If you are looking for your company’s next workplace, you have probably come across the term “managed office”. It has become one of the most popular ways to take space in London. But what does it actually mean?
A managed office gives you the simplicity and flexibility of a serviced office with the privacy and bespoke design of a conventional lease. Think of it as a blank canvas.
Rather than being defined by a number of desks, a managed office is listed by square footage. You decide how the space is used, and it is designed and built around the way your team actually works. The running of it, from cleaning to Wi-Fi to maintenance to kitchen supplies, is looked after by one team, for one fixed monthly fee.
In short: a home for your business, tailored to your people, brand and culture, without the work of running it.
Managed spaces typically range from around 1,000 to 15,000 sq ft, which makes them an option for very different kinds of business.
For a growing team, it is the natural step up from a serviced office or co-working space. More privacy, more control, room to build a culture of your own. For a larger company, it works as a regional HQ or a dedicated project-team space. In both cases, you get a space built for the way people work, rather than rows of desks, and you hand the day-to-day running of it to someone else.
The headline benefit is simple: it is looked after. In a conventional lease, every office cost is organised and paid for separately. In a managed office, it is built into one monthly price and handled for you.
Beyond that, you get privacy, a space designed around your team, and a lease that flexes as you grow. The office becomes a place that works for your people, not a job in itself.
Finding an office is rarely straightforward, and most private spaces come with a traditional lease by default.
