About our Halifax office space packages
Our standard package to rent office space is also our most popular – straight-forward and stylish business space tailored to suit your size and staffing requirements and access to all our add-ons and perks.
This tenancy package is most popular with established small and medium sized businesses looking for Yorkshire office space, and we’re delighted to say many of our tenants on the standard package stay and grow with us for years.

Yes. Start-ups qualify for our start-up grant which subsidises the cost of your rent. The grants are paid by Halifax Opportunities Trust and cover 30% of your rent for businesses up to 12 months old. This grant supports new start-ups to grow and develop during the most precarious time in a business’s life – the first year. Start-ups in receipt of the grant also have flexible lease terms of one month rolling contracts. This facility recognises that extended lease terms (even with break clauses) can be a barrier for start-ups and puts entrepreneurs at the heart of our business model. After 12 months, start-ups move onto our standard office package terms.
