Running a business is hard enough without worrying about office maintenance, internet issues, or dealing with landlords. That’s why fully serviced offices are such a popular choice for businesses of all sizes. We offer fully serviced offices designed to make your work life easier and more productive. Here’s why our fully serviced offices might be just what you need:

Setting up a traditional office can cost a small fortune. With a fully serviced office, you get everything you need – from furniture to utilities – all wrapped up in one easy monthly fee. No more surprise expenses!

2. Prime Location & Character

Our offices are not just in any location – we’re only a few minutes’ walk from Newcastle’s Central Station. This means you have easy access to all city centre public transport, making it super convenient for you and your team. Plus, Clavering House is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian building, full of character and charm. Working in such a historic and elegant setting can make your workdays more enjoyable and impress your clients.

Business needs change, and so can your office space. Whether you need more desks or less space, our serviced offices can scale up or down with you. Plus, our office agreements come with just a two-month notice period, giving you the flexibility to adjust your office needs without being locked into long-term commitments.

Our partner company, Smart Search, will conduct the necessary identity verification checks. Once verified, we’ll issue an invoice for your first 3 months. After the payment is processed, we can activate your service. You can pay by card or bank transfer — whatever works best for you. Ready to subscribe?
