Flexibility is key

All too often I see businesses getting tied into long contracts or inflexible agreements and this can be a very risky situation to be in.

What if your business takes a hit and you need to downsize? Or, on the plus side what if you’re expanding too quickly, and outgrow your office before your agreement is up for renewal.

Here at the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC) we have over 20 years hands on experience in supporting companies through the planned or unforeseen situations that happen in business. Flexibility is key!

We offer a dynamic, focused approach that aims to provide businesses with appropriate accommodation for their stage of growth.

The BIC’s flexible contracts allow our tenants to choose a timeframe which suits them best, rather than making them sign up to a long-term contract which might not be suitable a few months or years down the line.

We actively encourage companies, especially in the early months and years to think about the space they need now as there are no worries about being land locked. With 225 offices, units and labs available on our 14 acre site plus access to meeting rooms and open plan areas. There are always options to deal with highs and lows of business life.

We have assisted hundreds of companies’ onsite over the years to meet their changing space requirements. Our tenants regularly tell us that our flexibility and understanding of business needs is our unique selling point.

Our space is finished to the highest standard and with packages starting at just £49 per week, the North East BIC really is the ideal location. Also offering our luxurious Open Space facility for those who don’t require a permanent space.

Our current tenants span an array of sectors including: pharmaceutical and scientific, marketing and design, software and high tech clusters to finance and accounting companies. Which makes it a diverse and exciting place to do business at the BIC.

In addition to our headquarters in Sunderland we have also rolled out our business model to offer the same flexibility in our Darlington and Washington locations too. Call our space team now for a tour of the space available 0191 516 6066
