Cost Benefits
Operating your company out of a Business Centre is the most cost effective way to conduct business. In fact, you will be thousands of dollars better off every month, which will leave you with more financial resources to invest into your core business functions.
A typical business with one or two people at Regatta 1 Business Centre will spend between $900 and $1900 a month. This would include phone calls and other miscellaneous charges. In this package, you not only have the use of your private office but also basic receptionist duties and full use of a board room, meeting room, kitchen and reception lobby.
If you were to set up your own office by entering into a commercial lease and fitting it out you will be paying much more than $1900 a month. On the Sunshine Coast, the smallest area readily available to lease is about 50 square metres. This would be large enough to have two offices, a small reception lobby and a third room for meeting and/or kitchen area. The table below outlines the actual cost of conducting such a project over a three year lease.
On these figures you would be spending $6368.00 per month on your own office space. That is over $4400 more than at Regatta 1 Business Centre. If you don’t require a receptionist, you would still be spending $1700 more than the cost of one of our top offices at Regatta 1.
