1. What is a Regus business centre? How is it different from a traditional office rental?

Each Regus business centre is conveniently located near a major transportation hub. With a Regus business centre you get a complete, professional office rental environment included in one monthly fee. You'll also get professional receptionists, state-of-the-art telephone and IT services, kitchen areas and business lounges.

With traditional business centre setups, you have to navigate the costly and time-consuming world of setting up and configuring your workspace. Before you can be productive, you must:

• pay for altering office rental space
• sign a fixed-length office rental lease
• provide furniture for your office setup
• contract with multiple service providers (phone, Internet, maintenance)
• hire an office staff
• buy or rent office equipment
• build or configure connectivity infrastructure
• spend time, resources and money

With a Regus business centre, your office rental space solutions are a single phone call or mouse click away. Simply plug in your computer and start working — and leave the rest to us.

2. What types of terms come with a Regus business centre?

With traditional office rental space you often need an attorney to negotiate a complicated office rental lease before you can rent or lease an office. But using a Regus business centre for your office rental space solution couldn't be easier, especially when compared to renting traditional office rental space. We have a one-page office rental agreement instead of a 20-page office space lease. We give you control over the term of your executive office rental agreement — from three months to five years — so you have the ability to grow as your business needs change. And with our professional business centre executive staff you have on-demand access to administrative support and office equipment without hiring a permanent staff or making a capital investment.

3. Are your business centre locations close to where I need to do business?

The Regus Group has business centres in 1000 locations in 75 countries…with new business centre locations opening each month. With so many office rental locations in key cities worldwide, chances are one is close to where you need to do business. There's no need to conduct an extensive search for office rental space that is suited to your needs — simply use our business centre location finder and take your pick! And consider a Regus virtual office if you need multiple addresses around the globe and an office rental in only one business centre location.

4. What if my business centre rental space needs change?

No problem. Since each business centre typically has between 100 and 400 work stations, we can accommodate your changing office rental space needs with ease. You are locked into a lease agreement when you rent a traditional office, but at a Regus business centre you can expand or shrink the size of your office rental space as your needs change. You only pay for the office rental space you need.

5. How does a Regus business centre support my business when I travel?

As a Regus customer you have access to our 1000 business centre locations. You'll receive priority access to Regus meeting rooms, videoconferencing and business lounge facilities. Each business centre is staffed with trained, multilingual assistants to help you with copy and printing services as well as reception and concierge services. Each business centre features a common look-and-feel experience so you know what you can expect at every Regus office rental location.

6. Can I choose my office rental configuration?

Each Regus business centre offers various configurations to suit your needs. In a Regus business centre you do not incur any of the costly setup fees involved in renting traditional office rental space. Choose from a single-person office, a large executive office, a team office or an open floor plan — all fully furnished and equipped. All Regus office rental spaces can be equipped with our advanced IT and telecom packages without delay.

7. Do I need to supply my own office equipment as part of my office rental setup?

No. Each Regus business centre comes equipped with everything you need. We have contemporary office furniture, high-speed Internet connectivity, fully staffed reception areas and state-of-the-art business lounges and kitchen areas. Best of all you can expect the same high-quality office services at every one of our 1000 business centres worldwide. When you lease or rent office space the traditional way you must outfit the entire office to your specifications at your own expense, which can take weeks or even months. With a Regus business centre you can begin working immediately.

8. Do you have staffing available at Regus business centres?

In a Regus business centre a full-service office staff is always on hand to handle your day-to-day administrative duties or on an as-needed basis for those special projects. Unlike traditional leasing there is no need to hire an outside administrative staff to service your office rental. Each business centre comes equipped with high-speed Internet and advanced telecom infrastructure.

9. When can I get started in my new office rental setup?

The process to rent office space can take weeks or even months. A business centre from Regus can be configured to your specifications and ready in no time. You can sign your Regus office rental agreement on one day and start working in your new office the next.

10. How will my business be visible in a Regus business centre?

When you want a visible presence, a Regus business centre delivers. We're pleased to offer internal branding within our business centre locations, allowing you to display your company logo with your office. We offer wall-mounted panels and reception directory panels, ordered and fitted. Simply provide us with your logo and we'll do the rest. So, in addition to all the benefits of working in a Regus business centre, your office rental will present a seamless yet individual image. Contact your local business centre for details.
