Puttin’ on the Ritz
On March 1, 2010 Regent will be opening its newest center in New York to join two sister centers and spanning key areas of the Midtown business district. Located at one of New York’s most prestigious addresses, 340 Madison Avenue, this Regent facility will offer top quality amenities, HD Video Conferencing and more.
The office space outlook has been better than ever with an increased demand for premier space. As one of the prestigious executive-suites providers, Regent decided to take it up a notch and open a center with floor to ceiling glass walls, high-end Italian furniture, massive board rooms and 11 foot ceilings. This area also provides shopping, great eats and last but not least, key transportation hubs such as Grand Central Station.
Offices with dramatic views of midtown have already been sold in what will be the most sought-after space in the area. Everyone is welcome to visit our center when it opens on March 1, 2010.

Cost-Effective Solutions for the Business Start-Up
The steady rise of unemployment rates has provided many people with the motivation to follow their dreams of being an entrepreneur and place the job search on the back burner. Starting up your own company is always a bit of a challenge and in an economy that is not the best picture of profitability, people are even more wary and skeptical of how to go about it.
The cost of legal fees, supplies, employees, and other services are enough to have any up-and-coming entrepreneur second guess their decision. In addition, you have to establish a business address to grace your brand new business cards! It may seem overwhelming, but there are many alternatives to renting out a whole floor in an office building.
1. Shared Office Space: Instead of renting out an office building that you will need to outfit with a front desk, copy machine, new paint, etc. Try renting out just an office at Regent Business Centers. Our staff at all of our locations will take care of keeping the copy machine running, providing hot coffee for the masses, and will keep the reception area neatly furnished and presentable for your clients. Not only will you save money on the rent each month, but you will also save yourself the cost of high building maintenance, real-estate taxes, and long-term contracts with vendors.
2. Virtual Offices: Virtual offices are also great for businesses just starting out. With a virtual office, you obtain a physical presence for a low price. You are able to use the Regent’s prestigious address and location as your business address. We also offer mail reception and courier services.
3. Front Desk Virtual Services: You may not need an actual office but you are on the road closing those deals in different states and countries. Regent’s Front Desk Virtual (www.frontdeskvirtual.com) product provides you with a toll free or local phone number, voicemail and call transferring to any where you may be. You will also have the added benefit of using our locations in the US and our partner center Avanta Business Centers (http://www.avanta.co.uk/) located throughout the UK and India.
4. WorkDesk Program: If you are currently running your business out of your home but feel like you need some time away every once in a while, there is always Regent’s WorkDesk service. Regent provides a professional co-working environment that consists of a large open room with multiple places to work. Desks, chairs, and internet access are always provided and sometimes other things are included as well. For a small fee, you can visit one of our centers and use one of the workstations for the day. It’s a great way to be inspired by the other people who would be working around you and could get you out of tapping into the free wireless at your local coffee house.
There are so many options for companies just dipping their toes into the business world. Regent actually provides all four of the options listed above for a very competitive price and in a Class A building. If you have an questions on any of these or other Regent services, please email us at info@regentbc.com or call us at 888-616-6378.
