Home - SME Offices Ltd

At SME Offices we work with you, we can search and evaluate the best office options and help you come to the right decision both in location and cost for your business.

During these unprecedented times, please contact me to help with any issues you face now or for when we bounce back from Covid-19.

Background

Providing our SME clients with honest and objective advice.

We want to be the first call for your commercial real estate advice, throughout the lifecycle of your office occupation.

SME Offices was set up, by Mark Lycett, following 15 years within the Corporate Property Team at a FTSE 100 Company. With that experience comes understanding of what a Business needs and how property has to flex with business strategy in the right location and the right cost.

The SME sector is being overlooked by large real estate companies and not being supported professionally enough by serviced office brokers with limited property experience. SME Offices want to change that.

We are different, whether you are a start up or a mature business, we aim to support when you need us most, with hands-on expertise in times of growth and downturns.

At SME Offices we work with you.

We can act as your property department for the period of time you need us, whether that is a day a week or to be at the end of the phone, we can put together a day rate to help get things organised, even if you want to do other aspects yourself.

Pricing

Every property instruction is different so we are happy to quote for each individual request but at SME Offices we are agile in our approach, so please talk to us to see how we can support you. For a high level view, fees in the market are typically:

For serviced offices the serviced office operator (think WeWork / Regus etc) pay our fees, it costs you nothing.
For traditional office acquisition typical agent fees are 10% of the first years rent – SME Offices will beat this.
For specific tasks / project advice, we can charge on an hourly or day rate so please contact us for options.
