Flexible workspace on offer as Regus enters Namibia

Often what separates a great business idea from a great business is the availability of adequate, affordable space. Though, thanks to global workplace provider Regus recently setting up shop in Namibia, the inability to source a fixed office with a long-term fixed rental and upfront capital investment, need no longer be seen as a debilitating factor. Originally founded in Brussels Belgium back in 1989, the Luxembourg-based company recently opened its first business centre at Maerua Mall in Windhoek, offering high-quality offices, co-working spaces and meeting rooms for shorter-term use. Complete with high-speed WiFi accessibility, the centre includes private and day offices, meeting rooms, a walk-in business lounge, virtual office services, and professional administrative and reception support. “Our launch in Namibia brings our network in Africa to 18 countries, and follows quickly on the heels of our launch in Botswana,” Regus Southern Africa Country Manager Nuno Condinho said this week. “Our investment in these countries will help both local and international companies benefit from trends such as infrastructure and telecoms development, foreign direct investment and growing local entrepreneurship. The economic potential of Africa is vast and exciting, and Regus is strongly committed to facilitating business here,” he said. Along with making it easier for local companies to start-up, Regus says it also hopes it would make it easier for international companies to explore their options in Namibia. “In Africa and globally, we will continue to increase our support for businesses in 2014 and beyond. We’ll extend our network to the places where they want us to be, and carry on developing the innovative products and services that back our customers’ growth and success,” Condinho said.
