Regus says the demand for flexible workspaces by Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) and start-up and large corporations is what has informed its decision to open yet another business centre in Nairobi.
Saying it ‘provides international visitors with the opportunity to work in a worldwide network of workspaces in key business locations designed for drop-in use while travelling’ and that its ‘lounges are equipped with high-speed internet, snacks and comfortable furniture’, Regus says “Flexible office space not only alleviates the cost of crippling fixed leases but also provides the solution to access to infrastructure and utilities, daily office management and the networking opportunities that come with co-working space and is redefining the way we work. Being in an environment surrounded by like-minded individuals provides endless business opportunities.”
