What the price includes
These are asking rents for private offices in serviced and coworking buildings. The monthly figure covers the furnished room, internet, cleaning, utilities, reception and a meeting-room allowance; most operators add VAT on top and charge for extra meeting-room hours and printing. There is no fit-out cost and no business-rates bill to arrange separately, which is why the per-desk figure is the right comparison, not the per-square-foot rent a conventional lease quotes before build-out.

How to pay less for the same headcount
Three levers move the number more than negotiation does. Headcount at the desk, not on the payroll: a hybrid team of 10 with six desks in use on a typical day fits a 6-desk office. Neighbourhood: the table above is the whole story. Term: operators discount for 12-month commitments and charge a premium for month-to-month, so ask for both quotes. SquareFoot sends the shortlist, the operator confirms the exact number, and the tenant pays no fee.
