Arithmetic on the operators' asking rate per desk for centres with room for a team this size, before any negotiation. Above 20 desks the agreed rate is usually lower, and a longer term lowers it further.
What changes above 20 desks
Serviced or managed
A serviced office is the operator's furnished suite on the operator's paper: one monthly price per desk with reception, meeting rooms, cleaning and internet included. A managed office is a self-contained floor or building fitted out to your plan and run by the operator, priced on the space rather than per desk. From about 20 desks both are on the table; above 50, managed space and whole floors are often the better fit, and most in Manchester are quoted on inquiry.
Term
Serviced suites run from a few months to a year or two. Managed floors usually ask for 18 months to three years, because the operator fits the space out for you. A longer term buys a lower rate, so decide early how long you need the space and where you want a break.
Fit-out
A serviced suite is ready as it stands, usually within a couple of weeks. A managed office is built to your layout, branding and IT, which takes six to twelve weeks; the operator carries the cost and recovers it in the rate over the term.
Who negotiates
At this size the asking rate is a starting point: rate, term, break clauses, rent-free months and fit-out are all negotiable. Our local team in Manchester runs the shortlist, the tours and the negotiation with each operator. The operator pays the broker fee, so it costs the tenant nothing.

Serviced or managed office for a team of 20+?
