1. What is an HQ business center? How is it different from traditional Washington DC office space?

HQ business centers are conveniently located near major transportation hubs. With HQ business centers you get a complete, professional Washington DC office space 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 Washington DC office space, 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 office rental space
• sign a fixed-length office rental lease
• provide office furniture for your Washington DC office space 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 Washington DC office space 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 Washington DC office space you often need an attorney to negotiate a complicated office rental lease before you can rent or lease an office. But using an HQ business center for your Washington DC office space solution couldn't be easier, especially when compared to renting traditional Washington DC office space. We have a one-page office rental agreement instead of a 20-page office space lease. We give you control over the term of your Washington DC office space rental agreement — from three months to five years — so you have the ability to grow as your business needs change. And with our professional executive office 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?

The HQ Group has business centers in 950 locations in 70 countries…with new locations opening each month. With so many office space 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 Washington DC office space that is suited to your needs — simply use our Washington DC office space location finder and take your pick! And consider an HQ virtual office if you need multiple addresses around the globe and a Washington DC office rental in only one location.

4. What if my Washington DC office space needs change?

No problem. Since each business center typically has between 100 and 400 work stations, we can accommodate your changing Washington DC office space 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 Washington DC office space as your needs change. You only pay for the Washington DC office 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 with Washington DC office space from HQ.

6. Can I choose my Washington DC office space 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 traditional Washington DC office space. Choose from a single-person office, a large executive office, a team office or an open floor plan — all fully furnished and equipped. All Washington DC office space from HQ can be equipped with our advanced IT and telecom packages without delay.

7. Do I need to supply my own Washington DC office space equipment?

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. With traditional Washington DC office space 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.
