SERVICED OFFICES
If you are responsible for the often arduous task of opening your company's office in Shanghai, you will probably be looking at a serviced office, at least initially, as your base of operations. Though lease rates here are generally higher for serviced offices than an equivalent normal office, there are a number of significant benefits that many find outweigh the added costs. The first is that serviced offices are usually turnkey. Reception services, office cleaning services, IT support and maintenance, office furniture, air conditioning, electricity, lighting, Internet connectivity, telecom connections and meeting and conference rooms are usually all included. In addition, short-term leases are usually available and top- end serviced offices often come with a prestigious address.
SERVCORP
Among the best-known international providers of serviced office space, Servcorp pride themselves on their customer service. They claim to take a "personal" interest in all of their clients' businesses.They also offer virtual offices, and can help you through the rather involved process of setting up your business in Shanghai.
