Office type
Shared Office
Shared room or suite arrangements where multiple companies or teammates share space under a managed facility.
Shared office usually means a room or suite within a business centre, sometimes shared with another company or team depending on the product.
It can be a middle ground when you need meeting space and privacy beyond a desk, without leasing a full private floor.
Who typically needs this
- Service firms meeting clients onshore
- Companies outgrowing desk products

Frequently asked questions
Is shared office the same as flexi desk?
No. Flexi desk is typically seat-based; shared office usually implies a room or suite product. Ask for the exact facility specification on your quote.
