Office Shares

A sister site of Offices-Serviced.com is Office Share.

The aim of the site is to be the top free classified listings site for people wishing to share office space. It's got a particular angle which is to encourage people from similar industries who can add value to each other business to get together and share office space - and costs.

One of the hassles about sharing Office space was the phoneline. Whose name would it be in and who would pay etc. Would a 2nd line be required for a 2nd company? But now VoIP is becoming increasingly common, flexibility and mobilty is even easier. You could rent out a spare desk to a company and instead of them using your phone line, they could route their calls through to their PC using Skype or equivalent.

Before considering office shares, you could check the terms of your contract with your landlord though!
