Ofixu vs traditional office broker

A traditional broker contacts operators on your behalf and sends you PDFs. Ofixu adds an AI-powered marketplace so you can compare live options instantly, then a human specialist runs the rest of the process. Both are typically free to occupiers on serviced and managed enquiries.

Ofixu vs searching operators direct

You can contact each workspace operator yourself, but you'll repeat your brief many times and won't see comparable pricing across the market. Ofixu lets you brief once and compare live options across multiple operators in one place — at no cost to occupiers on serviced and managed searches.

Serviced office vs managed office

A serviced office is a private office inside a shared building with shared receptions and amenities, on a flexible licence. A managed office is a self-contained, branded floor designed and run for one occupier, on a longer flexible term. Serviced suits 1–50 people; managed suits roughly 20–250 people.

Private office vs coworking

A private office is a lockable space dedicated to one team. Coworking is a shared environment where you buy a membership for desks and meeting rooms. Most teams move from coworking to a private office around 4–6 people.

Lease vs licence

A lease grants exclusive possession of a property for a fixed term, with rent, rates and service charge separate. A licence is a flexible permission to occupy, usually all-inclusive and shorter. Most flexible workspace runs on licences.

Flexible office vs conventional lease

Flexible offices (serviced and managed) charge a single monthly fee on a 1–60 month licence. Conventional leases run 3–10 years with separate rent, rates, utilities and tenant-funded fit-out. Flexible suits unpredictable headcount; leases suit large, stable occupiers.
