What's the difference between a traditional office and serviced office?

Joint office is a new office model first put forward in Silicon Valley of the United States a few years ago. The latest research report of Ai Media Consulting defines the concept of joint office. In this report, joint office refers to an office mode based on * * * shared office space. Under the joint office mode, service providers not only provide users with basic office environment and facilities, but also provide complete office service solutions, as well as value-added services such as industrial and commercial taxation laws and financing.

1. The lease period and lease area are more flexible.

The instability of small entrepreneurial teams makes it impossible for them to rent large-area office buildings for a long time, and the core selling point of joint office is flexible leasing. The lease period can be monthly, and the lease method can be by area or by station. This approach is more in line with the development and changes of start-up teams.

2.* * * Enjoy space and hardware

After renting a joint office (or a small independent space), a small entrepreneurial team can * * * share public space with other users for free (or at low cost), such as the front desk, conference room, leisure area, bathroom, recreation room, etc. , but also use the same set of hardware equipment, such as printers and coffee machines.

3. Socialization+mutual help+companionship

Another important factor for most small start-up teams to rent joint office space is that small start-up companies with the same scale but belonging to different industries often gather in joint office space.

Entrepreneurship is a lonely road. Going it alone often makes entrepreneurs feel tired and confused, but in the joint office space, many entrepreneurs can form groups that accompany each other and get more psychological support. At the same time, in the early stage of starting a business, entrepreneurs from different industries and positions usually help each other and cooperate with each other.

Step 4 reduce costs

The core consideration of choosing joint office space is to greatly reduce the initial investment of early entrepreneurs.

Compared with the cost of renting an office building, which usually takes two years or more, the monthly rent cost of joint office space is undoubtedly the most economical way for entrepreneurs who lack funds in the early stage.

5. Enjoy entrepreneurial services

Most joint offices also provide related services such as company registration, corporate financing, finance and taxation for start-ups.

Step 6 check in with a bag

The joint office space adopts the methods of unified planning and layout, unified decoration and unified purchase of furniture and equipment before tenants move in, which completely cuts off the time and expenses that entrepreneurs need to spend on space decoration.

7. Office space supplement for large enterprises

A large part of the tenants in the joint office also come from large domestic enterprises.

(1) as a temporary transition for large companies in the new office renovation period;

(2) In order to control the cost, arrange some employees who don't need fixed stations to work in the joint office space;

(3) Some departments or city offices that are not closely connected with the headquarters will also choose to rent joint office space.

Second, the traditional office space

Traditional office space is a space mode in which a company rents a closed and complete office area and many employees of the whole company get together to work.

The company needs to bear the time and expenses of space design and decoration, and set up its own exclusive front desk, meeting room and rest area. And buy or lease all kinds of office furniture and equipment by yourself. And need to recruit full-time staff to manage related affairs. In the traditional office, employees have their own fixed workstations. The lease period of traditional office space is long, usually at least one year, and most of them need three to five years. In the stage of rapid development and expansion, startup companies often face the dilemma of insufficient lease and insufficient office space, and need to change their venues.

Compared with the joint office, the total cost of the traditional office space is higher, and the flexibility and expansibility are relatively low, but the stability, privacy and sense of belonging of employees are higher than the joint office space.

On the whole, the joint office space is suitable to supplement the office space of early start-ups, individual freelancers and large enterprises. Traditional office space is suitable for mature medium and large companies.

The relationship between joint office space and traditional office space is complementary rather than replacing.

At present, the leasing mode of office space in the market is still dominated by traditional mode, supplemented by joint office. However, we also notice that another office space model is emerging-a new customized space.

Joint office is flexible and convenient, but it cannot be customized. However, most companies have their own specific corporate culture, office layout standards, requirements of different departments and other personalized needs. The emergence of new customized space has solved the above contradiction.
