Read our guide to find out what type of flexible workspace is offered by Centre for Innovation and Enterprise (CIE)
Offering fully serviced office spaces, partially managed offices and non-serviced office space for rent in Oxfordshire.
Fully Serviced Offices range in size from approximately 170 sqft to approximately 900 sqft so are suitable for teams looking for space for between 2 and 10 people depending on the preferred layout.
These offices are available on flexible contracts with rent inclusive of items such as cleaning, insurance, reception services, building management, telephone connections and other overheads normally associated with renting office space on conventional terms.
Partially Serviced Offices are available in approximately the same range of sizes but offer more autonomy and control to the tenant. For instance, reception and mail handling services are not provided, and IT bandwidth use and telephones are not included in the rental fee.
The Non-Serviced Offices are for larger teams and are most comparable to renting an office on a leased basis.
These office suites range in size from approximately 4,300 sqft to approximately 13,000 sqft so are ideal for teams looking for space for between 30 and 130 people.
This option provides the tenant with the most autonomy over included options within the rent.
All of the above options afford tenants networking opportunities, full access to car parking, restaurants, minibus connections with Oxford, and many other benefits.
