Our co-working space provides permanent desks rented for a minimum of a month for a low fixed charge. There is no deposit, no contract, and a minimum notice period of only 7 working days. Included in the low monthly fixed charge is free use of meeting rooms, high speed broadband, printing, teas/coffees, visitor parking and more. There are ABSOLUTELY no extras. So Le Bureau provides wonderful facilities with unrivalled flexibility.
But in addition, we create a hugely welcoming atmosphere in which co-working Members can meet other like-minded entrepreneurs – to socialise, to network or indeed to do business with. In part our open plan layout facilitates this social interaction. In part the monthly events that our engaging team organise ensures it!
So all in all, at Le Bureau, you can have great facilities at low cost, with very limited commitment, and within a stimulating community.
Potential new Members often consider local Serviced Offices as an alternative.
