  FAQ  
 

     Q. What is Offices2share.com® all about?

A. Offices2share.com® was founded in 1999 to help solve two problems:

1 - How can businesses, especially start-ups and small businesses, find affordable alternatives to the long lease terms and large upfront costs typically associated with "traditional" office space?

2 - How can those companies that provide short-term, Ready-To-Use office space efficiently and cost effectively market the availability of their office space to potential renters?

By creating a new market place that brings together these two highly fragmented groups, Offices2share.com® has quickly become the definitive site for the finding and renting of all types of Ready-To-Use Office Space, including executive suites, shared and sublet space, as well as pre-built office space.

Q. What exactly is shared office space?

A. Technically speaking, it is a form of subleasing. You will have the opportunity to rent anywhere from a single desk space to an entire group of offices within another company's larger space. Typically you will be able to share common conference rooms, kitchen areas and other facilities. Very often the offices will be furnished and equipped with telephones, faxes and even computers in place. You might even be able to share the cost of the receptionist.

Q. What are the advantages of shared office space?

A. 1) If you are a company that has excess space, it provides a very fast, efficient and inexpensive way to rent that space. Since you are sharing the space there is no need for you to spend any monies to physically separate the spaces. In addition to receiving rent for the space itself, you may also be able to recapture some costs for the use of your telephone and computer systems as well as any shared personnel such as a receptionist, secretaries, etc. Additionally, you can keep your options open for your future re-use of the space by making flexible lease term arrangements.

2) If you are a start-up, fast growing company or an established business looking to open a new branch office, an office sharing arrangement could be your perfect office leasing solution. You can rent anywhere from a single desk to an entire group of offices with many of the shared spaces being furnished, equipped and adjoined to amenities such as conference rooms, kitchens, receptionist, etc. This will save you a lot of time and money, which could be better spent building your business rather than building an office. Additionally, short and flexible lease terms will give your company the flexibility that it needs.

Q. What's the difference between shared office space and an executive suite?

A. While your typical shared office space arrangement is offered by a company that just happens to have some excess office space for rent (due to downsizing, lost partners, underutilized expansion space, etc.), an executive suite is a professionally managed shared office space business. Executive suite companies, some of which are national in scope, lease large blocks of office space and then divide that space into individual offices for rent. Often the office space comes furnished and equipped with telephones and other equipment. Conference rooms, kitchen areas and reception are all shared and administrative services such as word processing are provided on an hourly basis. These executive suites are often located in upscale buildings in major business areas and provide a very professional atmosphere. Due to these factors, executive suites offer a very viable alternative for those that need Ready-To-Use office space.

A. Shared/Sublet Office Space and Pre-Built Office Space listings cost $99.00 per month. Executive Suites/Office Business Center listings pay in accordance with our "Pay-for-Performance" Marketing Plan.
