How to Find Cheap Office Space In Gloucester

If you had to pick out the most impactful change that the pandemic has had on the working world, it would have to be the meteoric rise in hybridised working. With a large portion of the UK workforce now working from home for at least a few days a week, many offices up and down the country are simply too large for the average business, and of course, this goes for those in Gloucester too.

If you’re looking for cheap office space in Gloucester that’s better suited to your business’ current needs, the Simon Long Removals Gloucester team are here to help.

Hot desking

If you’re looking for a more fluid working environment that doesn’t necessarily tie you down contractually, then hot desking is something to consider. Hot desking is where another business has found themselves with empty desk spaces that they want to rent out to freelancers or entrepreneurs on an ad hoc or temporary basis. Hot desking is great if you want to nestle your smaller business in the culture and environment of a larger, more established business. However, it’s important to remember that you will have no real control over the environment you’re in, so peace and quiet isn’t guaranteed.

Co-working spaces

Another great money-saving office space solution: co-working spaces. Joining a co-working space is a little like hot desking in that you will be sharing your space with other businesses, however, a co-working space won’t be owned by one of those businesses and rent will be paid to a third party.

Co-working spaces are great for fostering a sense of community with other businesses and also offer the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas. They also tend to have great amenities and flexible payment options, so you won’t have to feel as though you’re tied down – perfect for smaller businesses or startups.

Sharing an office

If you would like to have an office that you can call your own but you don’t think you’re quite ready to commit to one outright, one thing you could do is opt to share an office with a business that is in a similar position. The rent could be shared for usage during traditional working hours, and anything besides that could be up available to reserve. 

Of course, with a shared office, even though it’s technically yours in a way, you still will have to keep the aesthetic neutral so as to not lean towards one business or the other. This might be a little off-putting for some, especially if one of the main reasons you wanted to have your own dedicated office is so that you could brand it appropriately.
