Office type
Dedicated Desk
A reserved desk in a shared office - more permanence than flexi, less cost than a private office.
A dedicated desk gives you an assigned seat in a co-working or free-zone facility. It is often chosen when you need regular workspace or a package that supports more visas than the cheapest flexi option.
Still, visa maths belong to the jurisdiction’s current products - not to the desk label alone.
Who typically needs this
- Founders who work from the office regularly
- Companies upgrading from flexi as headcount grows
