A business center, also called an executive suite, is shared office space with services provided by a management firm. It offers many of the benefits of leasing office space, but at a fraction of the cost. Because of this it is a great option for many business people, including those with a home-based business who wish to establish more of a business presence, corporations who wish to test a business location before leasing space, and small business owners who need to meet their daily business needs while saving time and money.

Typically, a business is able to contract with the management firm for the use of services as needed. The amenities offered by business centers include:

• An address where a business can receive mail and packages

• Phone and fax service

• Access to a work station when needed, including Internet, copiers, and other office equipment

• Acesss to meeting places and conference rooms. For home-based businesses, finding places for client meetings can often be a major obstacle. Business people are forced to resort to always traveling to their client, or meeting in less professional coffee shops, restaurants, or even the dining room table. Business centers offer a remedy for this by allowing you to rent conference rooms to hold business meetings or give presentations in a professional environment.

• Access to prime business and downtown locations at a fraction of the cost

• Receptionist or concierge services

• Clerical and administrative services

• Filing space

• Computer and network support professionals
