With traditional space, typically, you will need to sign a long term real estate lease, buy or lease various equipment or office furniture and hire someone to answer your phones and receive your guests. In a traditional office, you will also have to take the time to locate, pay for and place all of the little things that are typically provided for by the executive suite operator. The start up costs and the continuing monthly costs for traditional office space will be 2 to 5 times that of a professional executive suite. When you lease a professional executive suite, all of those things are handled by the executive suite operating company for a substantially lower monthly cost.
