Young businesses tend to be dynamic - fast-growing, and (let’s face it) sometimes shrinking. Their needs change regularly, and their budgets tend to be tight. They can’t afford over-sized offices or full-time support staff, but they still need access to modern facilities and equipment. In short, they need office space which is as flexible, adaptable and affordable as they themselves strive to be for their customers.

Basepoint Ipswich - voted Workspace of the Year in 2010 - offers exactly what they need. Basepoint have brought a fresh, flexible way of working to The Havens, part of Ransomes Europark on the south-eastern edge of the town. This popular site is conveniently close to Ipswich yet offers easy access via the nearby A14 and A12 to the rest of the region, and to London.

This modern and bustling business centre offers a flexible mix of fully-managed offices and workshops with sizes ranging from single-person suites and incubation units for startups, to open plan offices of up to 1,500 sq ft, as well as virtual office facilities for home-based workers.

Uniquely, Basepoint is wholly owned by a charitable trust, The ACT Foundation, which uses any profits from the serviced office business to help people in need within the communities that it serves.

As you would expect from an award-winning business centre there are excellent facilities throughout, including serviced meeting rooms, on-site management, high speed internet access, breakout areas and free parking.

With shared facilities such as franking, photocopying, reception services and on-site security, every company based at Basepoint has the independence of their own business unit with the benefits of a serviced office building.

And with a choice of short-term or long-term leases, and the option to move to larger (or smaller) units within the centre as your business grows, Basepoint offers a truly flexible and affordable location for your growing company
