Barely a month after their live launch at the ICT Spring, Fiveoffices has already doubled the number of offices on its platform. Co-founder and CEO Benjamin Tillier shares some early insights.

New ways of working have put a lot of pressure on companies to make use of their empty office space. Luckily, Fiveoffices has entered the arena to lessen their financial burden and give office seekers more flexibility in their choice.

Launched at the ICT Spring on 1 July this year, Fiveoffices aims to eliminate empty office space – first in Luxembourg and soon around the world. While their objectives are ambitious, initial feedback is promising.

“We have made good progress, despite having launched just before the holidays and although things could be going much faster, the summer is also giving us the time to do things correctly,” says CEO Benjamin Tillier.

Having hit its intermediate target of 200 offices, the company is now working hard on enhancing the UX because “companies will only rent their space if the process is super easy.” 

“We really want to have a state-of-the-art platform where everything is intuitive and runs as smoothly as possible,” adds Benjamin.

“We want our platform and contracting to be so easy to use that even a child could rent an office.”

Contracting Made Easy

Making sure that the contracts suit the hosts’ needs and require as little time as possible has taken up most of the time of the team behind Fiveoffices. Having worked tirelessly with a team of lawyers to get this right in the past months, they have succeeded in coming up with a couple of different templates which can be amended easily and signed quickly.

“We want our platform and contracting to be so easy to use that even a child could rent an office,” says Benjamin.

Not surprisingly, startups and scaleups have been the most active on the platform since its launch. For fast-growing companies which don’t know what their future will look like, Fiveoffices is an optimal solution as it offers them offices of all sizes, styles, prices and a wide range of rental contracts (ranging between 2-24 months). Large companies, in need of additional short-term office space, have also already started signing up as guests.

With more than 70 additional office spaces waiting to be approved by the team and having already signed around 10 contracts, Fiveoffices certainly seems like it is on the right track. 

Finding the right talent is, like everywhere else, a challenge. But Benjamin tells me that they have almost got the entire team together and will soon be ready to launch more offices in “several key European cities”.
