Both are flexible alternatives to a traditional lease. But they are structured differently. A serviced office is fully managed by the provider — you pay one monthly fee and everything is included. A managed office gives you more control over fit-out and branding, but requires a longer commitment (typically 12-24 months).
When to Choose Serviced
You want zero hassle. Walk in, sit down, work. All-inclusive pricing. Rolling monthly contract. Best for teams of 1-15 who value flexibility over customisation. See 10 benefits of serviced offices.
When to Choose Managed
You want your own branding on the walls, your own furniture, and your own IT setup — but do not want the full responsibility of a commercial lease. Best for teams of 15+ who plan to stay 2+ years.
For most small and medium businesses, a serviced office is the better starting point. You can always upgrade later. Book a viewing.
