SMALL COMPANIES TAKE FLIGHT AT GROVE Simon Ames, Director of Grove Business Centre, tells B4 readers why taking care of the daily running costs from the outset of a new business’s life can provide the perfect springboard for growth. “One of the most important aspects of starting a small company is keeping all costs tightly under control from day one. Amongst the initial, daunting challenges is the matter of finding an office in which the embryo business can survive without the start-up costs and day-by-day overheads costing the proverbial ‘arm and a leg’. “The Grove Business Centre was established to tackle this problem at its root. The formula is a simple one: it provides for a secure private office with no capital outlay required. A licence covers the occupancy arrangement and this runs on a rolling basis until the tenant decide to leave by giving just one month’s notice. There is only one bill to pay each month, inclusive of rent, business rates, heat power and light. The lowest weekly cost of an office big enough for two people under this arrangement is £54 plus VAT.

“Our range of individual unfurnished offices at the Centre start at 120 sq ft (for two) up to suites of 1000 sq ft for larger teams, so there is always room to grow. A staffed Reception operates during normal office hours. Conference facilities and rooms for meetings or staff training can be booked by the hour or day for a modest fee and there is a centralised, self-service photocopy facility with low rates. Our offices are linked to a modern telephone system with favourable call charges and these are itemised and incorporated in the single monthly invoice. “We also offer a ‘fully furnished office’ concept. A typical example has two modern desks with chairs, a filing or storage cabinet, desk lamps, pictures on the wall - even a waste paper basket. Telephones are quickly installed to customer order, making it ready for immediate occupation. Sign on today – move in tomorrow.
“In our experience, many small companies find mutual benefit from working in the same environment with others, often leading to new and exciting opportunities amongst them.” Grove Business Centre is located at the heart of Grove Technology Park, close to Wantage and Grove and easily linked to the main roads and motorways.
