The office operated corresponds to a completely new form of office rental, softer and more flexible. This type of office has developed in recent years to meet the needs of current businesses, who want turnkey contracts, with fewer constraints. The operated office is a ready-to-use workspace, fully equipped, and offered with a rental contract for the provision of services instead of a traditional lease. And the icing on the cake: at Flashoffice, we are the experts in operated offices, so we might as well tell you that we know a thing or two.

Presentation of the operated office

It is A turnkey office, fully equipped, in which you can simply disembark with your team and set up quickly, easily and cheaply. The office operated was born from an observation. Businesses struggle to find office space within their budget and they don't have the time or resources to manage a layout from start to finish. When they rent a traditional office, they often have minimal space and don't have access to meeting rooms or rest or relaxation areas to recharge their batteries during the break.

In the end, they spend a large budget without being able to evolve in optimal and professional conditions. The operated office compensates for the various weaknesses of the traditional office. It allows you to work in a closed office, dedicated to your team, but also to benefit from all the common areas. Since the latter are shared, they are included in your monthly rate, allowing you to access high-end benefits and services.

The advantages of operated offices

Why choose an operated office? Simply to offer the best working environment to your team while taking advantage of simpler and more fluid management:

  • The offices operated are offered with a rental contract for the provision of services. These contracts are more flexible than a traditional commercial lease.
  • With the office operated, we give you a price per post, which includes 100% of charges and services (internet, maintenance, cleaning, electricity, access to common areas, etc). No hidden costs or unpleasant surprises at the end of the month!
  • With the option of operated offices, you have access to real jewels in prestigious buildings, you benefit from large areas and you boost the brand image of your company.
  • The work environment is an important criterion for your employees, both for retaining them and for recruiting them. With office rental operated, you provide them with ideal conditions to thrive on a daily basis.

The price of your future workspace

How much do the operated offices cost? In commercial real estate, as in traditional real estate, prices vary greatly depending on the location. The office operated is offered with a price per post and not a rent according to the area. So it's different from a traditional commercial lease. The job price starts around €300 per month if you are based in the inner suburbs of Paris and can exceed €1,000 per month if you choose a prestigious location, such as Faubourg Saint-Honoré or Place Vendôme. Then, the price fluctuates according to the services available on site. The price per post will be lower in a building that offers basic services (meeting rooms, relaxation area), compared to a place that has high-end services (library, rooftop, view of Paris, bar, wellness area, gym, etc.).

Operated offices: is it right for me?

The offices operated are aimed at all structures, regardless of their organization. They can be a suitable solution to set up a head office, to set up a specific team (marketing for example) or to offer a workplace to your employees spread across the country.
