Have you ever really thought about what makes a good workplace?

If you’re lucky enough to be able to choose where you work, or where to base your business, this should be at the forefront of your mind, as it can be the difference between a happy and stressful environment.

At EH20 Business Centre, ensuring our offices are modern, clean and welcoming has been a priority. Here’s why we think our offices would be perfect for freelancers, start-ups and small businesses.

Location

We are based just twenty minutes drive outside Edinburgh, meaning you get all the benefits of working within touching distance of the city centre, without all the parking fees, noise, pollution and hassle such workplaces bring.

Instead, you can base yourself in the beautiful countryside of Midlothian, within walking distance of of two of the most important buildings in Scottish history – Rosslyn Chapel (you know, the one off the Da Vinci Code), and Costco (the one that sells the delicious massive chocolate cake). We’re across the road from a 24 hour Asda, and you can walk to the Pentland Hills National Park within the hour (or drive there in under ten minutes).

We think a relaxing, clean-air environment for you and your workers is surely a good business investment.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts

Technology

These days, there are basic amenities that should be taken for granted in any workspace, and one of those is surely a blistering hot internet service. With most of our day now focused on a screen, and most of our media consumed through it, we can’t afford to have it buffer and slow. This is especially true when it comes to virtual meetings using the likes of Skype to speak to colleagues or clients across the globe.

Our centre has a 200Mbps high-speed dedicated fibre line, meaning a fast internet for everyone who wants to stream Spotify as they work, research competition on Youtube or dial in to webcasts.

It’s the little things that count

Small things can make a difference. Remember how we mentioned the expensive and stressful parking in the city centre? Well wave goodbye to that, and any park and ride you may have to take, because parking at EH20 Business Centre is free.

We also have an on-site gym, cafeteria and catering facilities for all your meetings. We take care of the little things so that you can focus on the big picture.

If you’re looking for a new base for your business, give us a call to organise a tour. We’re confident you’ll like what you see.
