Frequently Asked Questions About Serviced Offices in Dublin (and Beyond)
Looking for a flexible, professional workspace in Dublin? You might have come across the term “serviced office”—but what exactly does that mean? At Sky Business Centres, we’ve helped hundreds of companies settle into serviced offices across our locations in Dublin. In this blog, we answer the most common questions we hear from businesses just like yours.
1. What is a serviced office?
A serviced office is a fully furnished, ready-to-use office space managed by a facilities provider. It comes with everything you need to get started—desks, chairs, internet, phone lines, cleaning, reception services, and more. You pay a single monthly fee, and the provider takes care of the rest.
2. What’s included in the price of a serviced office?
At Sky Business Centres, our serviced offices typically include:
- Fully furnished office space
- High-speed internet
- Utility bills (electricity, heating, etc.)
- Daily cleaning
- Reception services
- 24/7 access and security
- Meeting room access
- Maintenance and facility management
- Access to communal areas (kitchen, lounge, etc.)
3. Who uses serviced offices?
Serviced offices are used by startups, SMEs, remote teams, freelancers, and even large corporations. They’re ideal for businesses looking for flexible space without long-term leases or the hassle of setting up utilities and services.
4. What’s the difference between a serviced office and a traditional lease?
The main differences are:
- Flexibility: Serviced offices offer short-term agreements (usually month-to-month), while traditional leases often lock you in for years.
- All-inclusive pricing: No hidden costs—everything is bundled.
- No setup time: Offices are ready to use from day one.
- On-site support: Dedicated reception, IT, and maintenance staff are available.
5. Can I scale up or down easily?
Absolutely. One of the key benefits of serviced offices is the ability to scale with your business. Need a bigger space? You can move into a larger office. Downsizing? That’s no problem either. This flexibility is perfect for growing or adapting teams.
