Question 1

How much does a Universal Serviced Offices office cost in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Workspaces listed with Universal Serviced Offices in Malaysia average MYR 862 per desk per month. That is an average across 125 available listings in seven buildings, so individual offices sit above and below it.

What you pay depends on the building, the size of the suite, how many desks you need and the length of term. Universal Serviced Offices also publishes lower entry rates for hot desks and virtual offices on its own site.

Question 2

Where are Universal Serviced Offices centres in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Universal Serviced Offices has seven buildings on the market in Malaysia: four in Kuala Lumpur and three in Labuan.

The provider's own site groups its Kuala Lumpur addresses around Mid Valley and Bangsar South, and its Labuan space sits in the Financial Park Complex. Between them those seven buildings carry 125 available workspaces, so a search in either city usually returns several options to compare.

Question 3

What types of workspace does Universal Serviced Offices offer?

Accepted Answer

Universal Serviced Offices lists three types of workspace in Malaysia.
• 118 private office listings, the bulk of what is available
• 3 enterprise suite listings for larger teams
• 4 virtual office listings for a business address

Universal Serviced Offices' own site also advertises coworking and hot desks alongside those, which are arranged directly with the centre rather than booked as listings here.

Question 4

Does Universal Serviced Offices offer a virtual office in Kuala Lumpur?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Universal Serviced Offices has four virtual office listings available in Malaysia, offered from its Kuala Lumpur and Labuan centres.

A virtual office gives you a business address and mail handling rather than a desk, and every one of the seven buildings records mail handling and reception services. The provider's site says call handling and meeting room access are offered as extras, which vary by package.

Question 5

Can I use a Universal Serviced Offices address to register a company in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Universal Serviced Offices says a virtual address can be used as a registered business address in Malaysia, and that the Companies Commission of Malaysia allows a virtual address to be registered as an official business address.

The company states its service is set up to meet the legal requirements for business registration. Rules depend on your company type and can change, so confirm the current position with SSM or your company secretary.

Question 6

Does Universal Serviced Offices have meeting rooms?

Accepted Answer

Universal Serviced Offices' own site advertises meeting rooms, training rooms and event spaces for hire across its Malaysian centres.

Meeting rooms are not one of the workspace types listed through Office Hub: the 125 available workspaces in its seven Malaysian buildings are private offices, enterprise suites and virtual offices. Room sizes and hire rates are set by each centre, so ask the building directly when you enquire.

Question 7

What is included in a Universal Serviced Offices office?

Accepted Answer

Every one of the seven Universal Serviced Offices buildings in Malaysia records a kitchen, reception services, mail handling, printing facilities, a business lounge and furnished space, so offices arrive ready to work in.

Six of the seven record disabled access and five record air conditioning. What the monthly fee covers beyond the room itself differs by building and package, so ask for a written breakdown before you sign.

Question 8

Do Universal Serviced Offices centres have 24/7 access?

Accepted Answer

All seven Universal Serviced Offices buildings listed in Malaysia record 24/7 access, so members can reach their office outside normal business hours.

Universal Serviced Offices publishes staffed centre hours of Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6:00pm, excluding public holidays, which is when reception and support are available. If you expect to work late or at weekends, confirm the out-of-hours arrangements for the building you choose.

Question 9

How long are Universal Serviced Offices terms and what happens at the end?

Accepted Answer

Terms for Universal Serviced Offices workspaces in Malaysia run from a single month to 12, 24 months or longer, and the length you choose affects the rate quoted.

At the end of a term you can normally renew, move to a different suite as your headcount changes, or give notice and leave. Notice periods and renewal conditions are set in each agreement, so read the notice clause before you sign.

Question 10

How do I view a Universal Serviced Offices office in Kuala Lumpur?

Accepted Answer

Enquire on the Universal Serviced Offices listing for the building you are interested in and the centre will arrange a viewing with you directly.

Have your desk count, preferred city, budget and start date ready, as these decide which of the 125 available workspaces are worth seeing. All seven buildings record furnished space, so a team can move in once terms are agreed and paperwork is complete.
