What a team pays per month
| Team | At the low end (€189/desk) | At the median (€289/desk) | Upper quarter (€490/desk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | €189 | €289 | €490 |
| 5 people | €945 | €1,445 | €2,450 |
| 10 people | €1,890 | €2,890 | €4,900 |
| 20 people | €3,780 | €5,780 | €9,800 |
These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.
What the price includes
At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
