How to find an office in the UK
If you are coming to the UK from abroad and intend to star a business one of the first things you will needs to find is an office. The first thing you should know is that there are two kinds of commercial office space to rent in the UK. The first is called conventional space, whereby you rent the floorspace and provide furniture, facilities and telecoms etc yourself. This done through a lease agreement between you and the owner of the space. However, this usually requires a hefty deposit as well as personal guarantees in some instances. If you have no credit history in the UK you may find this option very difficult.
A better choice would be to rent a serviced office. These are great for bew businessers arriving from overseas as they are flexible, require no long term commitment and can be rented using a very small initial deposit. In most instances you can rent office space on a month by month basis and can upsize and downsize whenever you need to. What's more all the furniture and services are included in the monthly charge - this makes financial planning much easier. You will not have to sign a legally bindining lease agreement, just a serviced office license. These are much less complex that office leases and can be done and dusted within a few hours
