Maybe Mayfair?

For the last few years, Mayfair in London's Westminster has prided itself on being the hedge fund capital. These secretive and complex investment vehicles that delivered huge returns for their sophisticated investors made their home in the desirable enclave bordered by Piccadilly, Regent Street, Oxford Street and Park Lane.

But with the global economic crisis and the collapse of investment banking, the hedge funds have taken a real pummelling. The net result of all this is that there's plenty of high quality office space available and landlords are having to cut rents to fill their space. This means there are great deals to be had on office space.

So if you want an exclusive address for your firm, take a wander over to Mayfair Office Space and register your details.

Furnished Offices

The great thing about a serviced office is that they usually come fully furnished, which is a real bonus. In my last conventional office space, when I turned up there was some ropey old furniture that the last tenant had left. I wondered why they hadn't taken it, but couldn't use it myself as it wasn't up to scratch. So I bought all new office furniture which I used for a year.

When I went to leave, i realised why the previous occupant had left their's. It's actually a real hassle having to get large pieces of furniture removed and transported. I fell into the same trap as the previous occupant - buying new furniture and then leaving it behind.

By opting for a furnished, serviced office, you can avoid this wasteful state of affairs. Business centres will suually have a great stock of office furniture that suits the character of the building. Book a viewing today and check the quality why you are there.

Save money on broadband at the office

Previously, when taking serviced office space, if you wanted internet access you really had to use whatever service the business centre was supplying. The management have access to the backroom infrastructure and they arrange for the internet access to be plumbed into your office. All very convenient but as in field of business, if there's only one provider available, the prices aren't competitive.

But thanks to mobile broadband solutions, you no longer need to rely on the wired service provided by your ISP. Get yourself an internet dongle and you have broadband in the office, and then you can take it home and have broadband there too. It usually works out a lot cheaper than what you might be offered at serviced offices, so it's the smart way to organise your internet access.

How does it work? You simply plug the USB dongle in and it connects up to the networks 3g network and ... that's it. You're flying with highspeed internet access. There are loads of deals, with both pay as you go mobile broadband, and other conventional, fixed length mobile broadband deals available.

Serviced Offices in Portsmouth

The city of Portsmouth in Hampshire on England's south coast has an impressive and famous naval history. Home to HMS Victory, and what's left of the Mary Rose, this 450,000 strong city will surely always be synonymous with the British navy.

But scratch the maritime surface and you see something else going on - a regeneration of Portsmouth which is giving the Pompey people a new confidence. The Spinnaker Tower was recently completed and gives stunning views from his peak, 170 metres in the sky. Other new developments are being completed all the time, and of course there's a still a glow to the locals who this year celebrated an FA Cup victory.

Portsmouth makes an idea base for many businesses and has a range of serviced offices to meet their office requirements on flexible, attractive terms. Serviced office facilities exist in Kingston Crescent, Western Road, and just outside the city in Gosport and Fareham.
