1. What is an HQ business center? How is it different from a traditional executive suites setup?

HQ business centers are conveniently located near major transportation hubs. With HQ business centers you get a complete, professional executive suites environment included in one monthly fee. You'll also get professional receptionists, state-of-the-art telephone and IT services, kitchen areas and business lounges.

With traditional executive suites, you have to navigate the costly and time-consuming world of setting up and configuring your workspace. Before you can be productive, you must:

• pay for altering executive suites and office space
• sign a fixed-length office lease
• provide office furniture for your executive suites setup
• contract with multiple service providers (phone, Internet, maintenance)
• hire an office staff
• buy or rent office equipment
• build or configure connectivity infrastructure
• spend time, resources and money

With HQ business centers, your executive suites solutions are a single phone call or mouse click away. Simply plug in your computer and start working — and leave the rest to us.

2. What types of terms come with HQ business centers?

With traditional executive suites you often need an attorney to negotiate a complicated office lease before you can rent or lease an executive suites setup. But using an HQ business center for your executive suites solution couldn't be easier, especially when compared to renting traditional executive suites. We have a one-page executive suite agreement instead of a 20-page office space lease. We give you control over the term of your executive suite agreement — from three months to five years — so you have the ability to grow as your business needs change. And with our professional executive suites staff you have on-demand access to administrative support and office equipment without hiring a permanent staff or making a capital investment.

3. Are your business centers located where I need to do business?

HQ has business centers in 950 locations in 70 countries . . . with new locations opening each month. With executive suites in so many locations in key cities worldwide, chances are one is close to where you need to do business. There's no need to conduct an extensive search for executive suites to rent that are suited to your needs — simply use our executive suites location finder and take your pick! And consider an HQ virtual office if you need multiple addresses around the globe and an executive suite in only one location.

4. What if my executive suites space needs change?

No problem. Since each business center typically has between 100 and 400 work stations, we can accommodate your changing executive suites needs with ease. You are locked into a lease agreement when you rent a traditional office, but at an HQ business center you can expand or shrink the size of your office space as your needs change. You only pay for the executive suites space you need.

5. How do HQ business centers support my business when I travel?

As an HQ customer you have access to our 950 business center locations. You'll receive priority access to HQ meeting rooms, video conferencing and business lounge facilities. Our business centers have trained, multilingual assistants on hand to help you with copy and printing services as well as reception and concierge services. Each business center features a common look-and-feel experience so you know what you can expect at every HQ executive suites location.

6. Can I choose my executive suites configuration?

HQ business centers offer various configurations to suit your needs. In an HQ business center you do not incur any of the costly setup fees involved in renting traditional executive suites space. Choose from a single-person executive suite, a large executive suite, a team office or an open floor plan — all fully furnished and equipped. All HQ executive suites can be equipped with our advanced IT and telecom packages without delay.

7. Do I need to supply my own office equipment as part of my executive suites setup?

No. All HQ business centers come equipped with everything you need. We have contemporary office furniture, high-speed Internet connectivity, fully staffed reception areas and state-of-the-art business lounges and kitchen areas. Best of all you can expect the same high-quality office services at every one of our 950 business centers worldwide. When you lease or rent executive suites the traditional way you must outfit the entire office to your specifications at your own expense, which can take weeks or even months. With HQ business centers you can begin working immediately.

8. Do you have staffing available at HQ business centers?

In an HQ business center a full-service office staff is always on hand to handle your day-to-day administrative duties or on an as-needed basis for those special projects. Unlike traditional leasing there is no need to hire an outside administrative staff to service your executive suite. Our business centers come equipped with high-speed Internet and advanced telecom infrastructure.

9. When can I get started in my new executive suites setup?

The process to rent traditional executive suites can take weeks or even months. Our business centers can be configured to your specifications and ready in no time. You can sign your HQ executive suite agreement on one day and start working in your new executive suites setup the next.

10. How will my business be visible in an HQ business center?

When you want a visible presence, an HQ business center delivers. We're pleased to offer internal branding within our business center locations, allowing companies to display their logos with their executive suites. We offer wall-mounted panels and reception directory panels, ordered and fitted. Simply provide us with your logo and we'll do the rest. So, in addition to all the benefits of working in an HQ business center, your executive suite will present a seamless yet individual image. Contact your local business center for details.
