There are essentially two ways business centers offers in exchange of desk space: flexi desk and fixed desk rentals. Which approach is right for your business?
Flexi Desk
The Flexibility of registering companies without physical offices has been widely known as “Flexi Desk”. The Flexi Desk is a Desk Space/seating area that communally shared between groups of subscribers.
i.e. David has a license and doesn’t require a physical office, and wants to have a Desk Space to use like 3 to 5 times a month, be focused and get some work done.
Nowadays, especially with the continuous Improvements thanks to the Department of Economic Development and respective authorities, entrepreneurs can establish their mainland business based on this particular Flexi Desk. It is commonly known as “Sustainability Desk” and “Estidama”. This option works great for establishing a new Mainland License “Subject to approved Business Activities” as well as the renewal of existing licenses for potential upgrade at later stage.
Fixed Desk
The Fixed Desk is also called “Co-working station” is a dedicated desk space available for one particular individual to be used on a daily basis.
i.e. Sarah has a small successful e-commerce business, and comes into the venue on a daily basis to use and sit on the same desk. She finishes her work every day and leaves her belongings such as laptop, wireless keyboard on her desk, and notes, pen and stationary inside her dedicated small locked storage cabinet.
