Office type
Private Office
An exclusive office room for your company - used when you need privacy, branding, or higher operational presence.
A private office is a dedicated room or unit for your company alone. Founders choose it for privacy, team seating, or when the licence path expects a stronger physical presence.
Costs are higher than flexi or dedicated desk. Visa packages in some free zones scale with office size - again, confirm rather than assume.
Who typically needs this
- Growing companies
- Businesses with regular on-site staff
