Why is a modular office a bullseye for a start-up?

By Marek Nowak, Office Solutions Manager·September 15, 2024·5 min read

Start-ups operate at a variable pace. Today you have 3 employees, and in half a year the team counts 12 people. Renting a classic office with a 5-year contract is a financial noose for many young companies.

The trap of rigid real estate contracts

Most traditional office buildings require signing a minimum 3-5 year contract. In the IT industry, that's an eternity. If you sign a contract for 150 square meters in 2024 and your project fails, you pay rent for empty chairs. We saw over a dozen companies in Wroclaw that went bankrupt in 2022 just because fixed rental costs outgrew their real revenues.

At Oradawe, we approach this honestly. Instead of locking your capital for years, we offer monthly rentals. No hidden clauses about penalties for early exit. Without unnecessary formalities.

How to scale the team without changing the address?

Flexibility means that in March you occupy a room for 4 desks, and in July you move to a larger module for 8 people. That's time saved on finding a new location, moving servers, and informing clients about an address change. At Oradawe on ul. Jaworska, we have 47 such modules that are easy to connect.

From our experience, up to 31% of software start-ups need additional space within the first 9 months of operation. Instead of looking for a sublease, we simply add desks and switch over the infrastructure. Delivered on time, no corporate speak.

Operational costs under full control

When you pay for a serviced office, you get electricity, internet, cleaning, and reception services in one invoice. You don't have to worry about invoices from 5 different suppliers. This allows you to save an average of 2,400 PLN monthly on administrative costs, which always burden the budget in a small team.

Every zloty counts for start-ups. Instead of investing 50,000 PLN in renovations and furnishing an empty space, you put that money into product development or recruitment. Remember, your office scales with your team.

We invite you to see available modules next Wednesday. It's the best way to feel the vibe of the place. Monthly rental, no strings attached.
