Rise of Suburban Serviced Offices In Klang Valley

Every human being has all sorts of needs whether they live in town or out of town. “Working alone, together” is a phrase that actually portrays the primary needs of most freelancers, startups, or digital nomads that most of the serviced offices can address. Loneliness or isolation is the reason why people are opting out from a 9-5 corporate job in a traditional office.

As for SMEs and other startups, their first concern is cost minimization while running the business especially the office rental and its utility. However, people do not want their business operation to be limited due to the tight budget. By moving into a serviced office, they can access various services such as free utility, stationary, printing machine, or even free-flowing foods and drinks. Other features are include napping rooms, phone booth, gaming room, and many more will make people feel homely while getting their work done. On top of that, the cost can be decreased more when they prefer the location to be in suburban areas due to its outstanding affordable rates.

This is the result of the significant growth of the population in Kuala Lumpur which could not be contained within its urban restrict.
