Look like a bigger business while staying lean and flexible
You might be working from a spare room, the dining table, or the living room couch. But your clients don’t need to know that. This setup gives you a legitimate "HQ" that builds trust with new customers while keeping your overhead virtually non-existent.

Flexi Unlimited includes 12 hours of meeting room time per month (the same allocation as Dedicated Desk).
You can book meeting rooms up to 12 months in advance.
There are no peak-time restrictions — you can host meetings when it suits you. The only limit is your monthly meeting room credit allocation.
Once your included hours are used, you can continue booking rooms on a pay-as-you-go basis with a 15% member discount.
This follows the standard cancellation policy:
More than 48 hours’ notice: no charge (no credits deducted)
24–48 hours’ notice: 50% of booking credits deducted
Less than 24 hours’ notice: 100% of booking credits deducted
Book the room for the full time you need access, including:
Setup time
The meeting itself
Pack-down time
If the room isn’t booked before or after your session, we’re usually happy to allow early access or a short overrun.
Enterprise plans include 2 hours of meeting room use per month.
Use the hours in any room type (including phone pods, meeting rooms, or the boardroom)
No peak-time restrictions
Bookings are made online in advance
Cancellations follow the standard policy (48 / 24–48 / <24 hours).

If you provide a call script or FAQ, our team will use it to answer common questions, capture caller details, and represent your business accurately.
Yes. Calls can be transferred to multiple people if needed.
For simplicity, we usually recommend one primary contact, but routing can be adjusted to suit your setup. Talk to us, and we’ll configure it with you.
Additional charges are limited and transparent. They may include:
a one-off setup fee if you require a dedicated phone line
ongoing phone line costs, billed separately
admin fees for forwarding or special handling requests
Nothing is charged without your approval first.
Mail and courier handling follow the same process as our other Virtual Office plans:

chilled water (and other small extras depending on the room)
