Peterborough Business Centre Reviews & Recommendations

Peterborough business centre reviews of the modern serviced offices, high speed internet access and flexible options for growth available in the city.

Just off the A1, with high speed connectivity and a growing population there has never been a better time to be building a business in Peterborough.

Having run our business from the city and been based in no fewer than 4 of the business centres in the list below, we feel qualified to give an honest review and how they may fit where you are in the lifecycle of your business.

Peterborough Business Centre Amenities

What makes a good business centre depends on the size and needs of your business. It is also likely to evolve over time as your business grows or the circumstances/needs of your business change.

The pandemic has accelerated this change and the role of the business centre has evolved with companies often ditching larger offices they own to get comfortable

Virtual and Co-Working Spaces

For start ups or solo person businesses a virtual office to register the business and avoid having to put your home address on the internet is the most important thing.

The next level up is co-working space, for those looking to escape the home office from time to time and collaborate. A great solution for businesses that either have an infrequent need for an office or miss the hum of an active office.

There are plenty of virtual and co-working facilities in the city.

Comfortable Cafe With Cosy Tables

A good cafe is a huge benefit for any business centre.

If the coffee is decent and there are quiet spaces it can be a great place to meet business contacts, potential clients or get a change of scenery to inspire creative thinking.

Serviced Office Space

A range of serviced office spaces is a great way for businesses to grow from a virtual office/co-working space to a dedicated office for their team. The wider the range and affordable options the better served a centre is to recruit and retain successful business tenants.

Meeting and Conference Room Space

Being able to hire meeting and conference rooms give great flexibilty for small and large businesses to hold in-person meetings for remote meetings. They can also be used to run seminars and business conferences.

Plenty Of Parking

Limited parking is a killer for business centres.

A minimum requirement should be ample parking for tenants and plenty of low hassle parking for visitors, as the last thing you want is to have to cut short a meeting as the potential client has to go pay for parking or gets back to their car to find a fine.

Hi-Speed Internet

It is impossible to run a business centre without high speed internet for visitors and tennants.

Fortunately Peterborough is at the forefront of high-speed internet with many of the business centres listed enjoying gigabit speed internet.

On Site Gyms and Services

Modern business centres are developing into more than just office spaces. Peterborough has business centres that include gyms, physios, barbers and beauty therapists. There are even creches and nusery’s so you can work not far from your young family.

These are not mandatory for most businesses but depending on your situation can be hugely convenient perks.
