Quick answer

Compare managed offices in and around Manchester. A managed office is a private space the operator sets up and runs for your business, usually on a longer term than a serviced office. Terms are usually 1 to 5 years (12 to 60 months); operators set their own terms, so confirm. The total depends on the size of the space.

Managed supply in Manchester

In the city centre, Seneca Flex is at 55 Princess Street. Further out, BizSpace has sites at Wilsons Park in Newton Heath and the Empress Business Centre in Old Trafford, which BizSpace describes as managed office space between the city core, Salford Quays and Trafford Park.

Where they are

Princess Street, city centre. Seneca Flex at 55 Princess Street, close to the King Street and Albert Square office district, with Piccadilly and Deansgate not far off. The one to look at if you want a private, branded base in the middle of town. Newton Heath, north-east. BizSpace at Wilsons Park on Monsall Road, a business-park setting where parking is likely to matter more than a central address. Old Trafford and Chester Road. BizSpace at the Empress Business Centre, south-west of the centre and close to the Trafford side and tram routes.

If you need managed space in Spinningfields, Oxford Road or Piccadilly, say so in your enquiry, and compare the serviced offices in those districts.

Who it suits

Established teams that want their own identity on the edge of the city or a single private floor in the centre: a regional headquarters or a professional-services firm with confidential work. If you are still testing Manchester, start with a serviced office.

How to choose: checklist

Centre or edge? Decide this before you compare operators, because the options differ most on location.

Ask who pays for fit-out and what happens to it at the end.

Ask what the monthly fee covers and what is charged separately.

Check parking and tram access if you choose a site outside the centre.

Ask for the full terms in writing and take legal advice if you are unsure.

Pricing and terms

Managed offices are priced by floor area. Rates differ by building, so compare the listings. Available offices show their full monthly cost. The total cost depends on the size of the space, as well as its specification, fit-out and term, and the operator confirms it in a written quote. Terms are usually 1 to 5 years (12 to 60 months); operators set their own terms. Operators often quote excluding VAT, so ask for the figure including VAT.

Managed Offices in other cities

Serviced or managed: what is the difference?

A serviced office is a furnished, ready-to-use office in a building that the operator runs. You pay one monthly fee that typically covers rent, utilities, internet, cleaning and reception, you share facilities such as meeting rooms and kitchens, and the agreement is short and flexible, so you can usually add or drop space as your team changes.

A managed office is a private space that the operator fits out and sets up around your business, usually with your branding, layout and furniture. The operator handles the day-to-day running (maintenance, cleaning, connectivity and similar), so you get the control of your own office without managing it yourself. Managed offices normally come with a longer commitment and a more tailored price.

The labels are used differently by different operators, so always confirm in writing what is included before you sign.
