There are plenty of people who dream about running their own business but when it comes to start-up, how can you ensure you reduce the risk of failure for your new enterprise?
TO BOLDLY GO...
The Business Centre, situated on the outskirts of Barry provides flexible serviced office space, virtual office services and conference and meeting room hire.
It is owned and operated by the owners of long established moving and storage company Masons Moving Group Ltd. Masons have over 105 years of business experience so they really understand what businesses need to function professionally.
James Mason, The Business Centre's Manager says, "The Business Centre is the only fully serviced office accommodation in the Vale of Glamorgan and since opening in January 2007 we have revitalised the modern, competitive office accommodation industry within the area.
The Business Centre is independent and has a reputation for providing a personal service of the highest standard in a professional but convivial environment. We are committed to delivering a five star service for our clients."
I asked James how the company was trading given the challenging conditions?
"We currently operate businesses in the hardest economic downturn of modern times and, along with all businesses, we look to make savings wherever possible. It's not always easy when the service we provide has to be of the highest standard but the more efficient we are, means less unwelcome increases in overheads for clients.
At The Business Centre we provide modern serviced office suites with a set monthly office rental which includes business rates and utility bills right through to cleaning services and professional receptionists answering calls in their business name."
With trading conditions being extremely challenging at present, The Business Centre is offering new clients up to 50% off their first month's fee which, they believe, will encourage new and established businesses to locate their businesses to the centre. James is realistic about what makes The Business Centre an attractive prospect, "With our licence agreements ranging between three, six and twelve months and a mere one month notice period, businesses can operate with no long term leases and, reassuringly, reduce the uncertainty of the what if it doesn't work out."
