This guide addresses the core questions that are top of mind for business owners, offering insights to inform this pivotal decision. We also touch on how Inospace's offerings align with these diverse needs, providing a supportive foundation for business growth.

Below, we've compiled and answered a selection of frequently asked questions, drawing upon the collective expertise of the Inospace team:

How can I determine the right amount of space for my business now and in the future?

Choosing the right space for your business means thinking about what you need right now and what you might need as you grow. Look for a place that fits you today but can also change as your business does. Inospace offers spaces that can adjust with you, making sure you have what you need at every step. At Inospace, changing your space size is straightforward and hassle-free. Our flexible leases and supportive team make it easy for you to adapt your space as your needs evolve, ensuring you can focus on growing your business without worrying about the details.

What should I consider when deciding on the lease length for my business space?

Short-term leases let you move quickly but can cost more and offer less security. Long-term leases save money and give stability but can make quick changes tough. It's about choosing what's best for your business, considering both your goals and the need to adapt to market shifts like economic changes or emerging trends. At Inospace, we get this balance. We offer flexible leases that can shift with your needs and the market, making it easier for your business to stay agile and secure, no matter what comes your way.

How do I choose the right location for my business to thrive?

Location. Location. Location. Picking the right spot is crucial for success, ensuring your business is accessible for both employees and customers, and solidly placing you within the market's heartbeat. It's about proximity to your customer base, ease of access via major roads and transport hubs, and closeness to suppliers. Inospace positions you in prime business locations, making sure you're not just on the map, but right in the centre of opportunity, surrounded by the essential connections that drive business forward.

What considerations should I have regarding the safety and security of my business space?

Selecting a secure environment is vital for your business, clients, and staff. Inospace places a premium on security. Our customisable spaces let you add your own safety features, like alarms or cameras, suited to your needs. Paired with 24/7 CCTV and secure access, our Red Box security team patrols regularly, coordinating with external firms for extra support when required. With this comprehensive approach, you can work confidently, assured that your business is well-protected.

Are there benefits to choosing a space with additional amenities and services?

Access to shared facilities and services can significantly boost productivity. According to GCUC, 84% of employees feel more motivated and engaged in shared workspaces, while 82% expand their professional networks. At Inospace, our fully-equipped business and logistics hubs offer top-notch amenities, including meeting rooms, high-speed internet, kitchenettes, and courier zones. We cultivate a professional environment that impresses both employees and customers, providing valuable networking opportunities for clients to expand their connections and seize new business opportunities.

Surround yourself with like-minded people

Being part of a community that shares your work ethic and business values can significantly impact your success and satisfaction. It fosters collaboration, innovation, and a sense of belonging. According to a study by Harvard Business Review, when people have a sense of community at work, they are 58% more likely to thrive. Inospace not only offers physical spaces but also a community through the Inocircle business network, where like-minded professionals and businesses come together, supporting and valuing each other's work ethic and philosophies.

With Inospace, you find more than just a space; you discover a place where your business can thrive, supported by a network that values your work ethic and vision.
