The business community in Oxford is different from the community in the rest of the UK. On average, people in Oxfordshire spend more time at the business centres and therefore have different preferences and demand. For example, when it comes to location, 44% of Oxfordshire office workers preferred a rural office, the highest of all UK locations surveyed. Only one-third of respondents would prefer a city-centre location, the lowest UK location surveyed. Oxford boasts numerous business centres, research labs and coworking spaces. Moreover, the city offers rather affordable rent prices. For example, tenants are expected to pay around GBP 100-300 for a dedicated workstation at a business centre in Oxford.

When renting a desk at a business centre, you also get to use a variety of amenities apart from the actual workspace. Your comfort is ensured by professional staff, high-quality equipment (kitchens, ergonomic furniture, gym, lounge areas, etc) and convenient location. Renting an office in a business centre is also a great way to improve your connections and establish your presence in the local business community. Business centres unite a large pool of companies and solo-professionals to work under one roof, which is a helpful way to meet new experts, potential partners and clients. Furthermore, business centres often set up networking events for their tenants which are often covered by the rent.

Oxford is a comparatively small, yet an expensive city. The city lacks a sufficient amount of housing and still has accounted for 42% of job growth in the region in the last year. This means that too many people now have to travel from the neighbouring towns. As a result, congestion on main roads into the city has increased by 22% over the past five years and the University of Oxford struggles to retain even 20% of its graduates.
