What to look for in a serviced business space

Finding the right business space involves more than square metres and monthly rent. If you're running a growing business in logistics, e-commerce, storage or light manufacturing, the day-to-day experience of the space matters just as much as its size and location.

A well-serviced business space can streamline your operations, reduce downtime and make life easier for your team. Here's what to look out for when you're choosing your next space.

People on the ground matter more than you think

A good location and strong security features mean little if there’s no one around when your courier is stuck at the gate or your delivery arrives early.

The real difference in a serviced business space is the presence of a dedicated team. At Inospace, every park has a hands-on park manager who knows the clients, coordinates access, resolves issues and helps things run smoothly. From broken lights to urgent deliveries, these small actions keep your business moving.

Shared facilities should actually be usable

Meeting rooms, boardrooms and break areas are standard offerings in many serviced spaces. But are they clean, well-maintained and available when you need them?

Practical shared facilities can make a big difference. Look for:

- Simple online booking systems

- Fast, reliable Wi-Fi

- Clean restrooms

- Well-kept pause areas

- Loading bays or packing areas

At Inospace, shared infrastructure is designed to save you time and money, from forklifts and kitchens to business hubs.

Security should be actively managed

Security isn’t just about cameras and access gates. A truly secure environment needs proactive systems and real people involved.

At Inospace, all our parks are access-controlled, with 24/7 monitoring, visitor logs and on-site teams trained to handle issues as they arise. You get peace of mind knowing there’s always someone on-site keeping an eye on things.

Someone else should handle the hassles

When you lease a traditional unit, everything from leaking pipes to waste removal becomes your responsibility. A serviced space should take care of these headaches for you.

The key is responsiveness. At Inospace, we work with trusted service providers who manage maintenance, cleaning and facilities support across all parks. These partners are closely coordinated by our operations team, ensuring fast turnaround times and consistent service.

You should be able to grow without starting over

Businesses grow and change. The space you choose should allow for that without disrupting your operations.

Look for providers that:

- Offer flexible lease terms

- Have a range of unit sizes within the same park

- Support upgrades or downsizing without penalties

Many Inospace clients move into larger or smaller spaces without needing to leave the park. That means no downtime, no hidden fees and no stress.

Connectivity and power are not just nice-to-haves

Internet and electricity are critical for running a business. Don’t assume they’re included, or that they’ll work the way you need them to.

At Inospace, most parks include:

- Business-grade fibre connectivity

- Smart utility metering

- Load shedding contingency plans

- Backup power at select parks

We manage these centrally, so you don’t have to juggle multiple providers or worry about outages.

Service should continue after move-in

Many clients only discover the true nature of their lease once they’ve moved in. A good serviced space will continue to support you long after you’ve signed.

That includes:

- On-site support from a park manager

- A helpful, available head office team

- Operational assistance when you need it

- Opportunities to connect with other businesses in the park

At Inospace, our goal is to be part of your operations, not just your landlord.

Know exactly what you’re paying for

Hidden costs can creep in if you're not careful. Ask about:

- Common area levies

- Electricity mark-ups

- Maintenance contributions

- Access to shared facilities

Our leases at Inospace are transparent, with simple pricing and no surprise charges. Many of our services are bundled, so you can plan with confidence.
