Flexible pricing vs. a traditional lease
A direct lease quotes a lower headline per square foot, but adds build-out ($50–150+/sq ft), furniture, utilities and a multi-year commitment. For teams under ~30, flexible is usually cheaper all-in and lower-risk. See how Charlotte startups weigh this in our Charlotte startup office guide.
