Doing business in Sheffield

Start with the workspace type. Ask how often you will be at a desk and whether you need privacy. Regular desk work points to a hot desk or a private office; the odd day away from home points to a day pass; client meetings point to a meeting room; and if you only need a mailing address, a virtual office covers it.

Next, check the unit each price is quoted in. Desks, passes, lounges and offices are priced per day, meeting rooms per hour and virtual offices per month, so compare like with like. A meeting room at £19/h adds up quickly over a full day, when a day office from £75/day may cost less. Ask each centre whether a price is per person or per room. The pricing page sets the ranges side by side.

Finally, choose the place and the hours. In Sheffield, 8 centres are open 24/7, including Spaces Acero and Spaces Pennine Five, so if you work late or early, confirm round-the-clock access before you book. Common questions are answered in the FAQ.
