I get sort of tired of the marketing messages focusing on the economy. I guess that’s to be expected, especially in the serviced office industry. I mean, it’s true. But why does that mean I should choose Regus executive office space over a competitor? C’mon. Let’s not wear out this economic distress message.

Maybe you guys could do a Q&A with Adam Stark about his plans to expand the serviced office facilities named after him. I see that you do Q&As with various people in the executive office suites industry. Just a suggestion.

Stark must be a pretty smart guy and have a pretty smart business plan to convince one of his customers to invest in his serviced office expansion. I also wonder what kind of stake Stark gave up in his company. Those types of investments never come without a price. I do expect to see more investments in the executive office suites industry. Couldn’t say who from, though.

It would be a great time for Regus to snap up some of its smaller competitors in the serviced office space. So long as the company is throwing around multiplied millions of dollars, why not? The only reason I can think of is that existing facilities might have to be totally refurbished, which would require even more investment. Regus, then, would really be acquiring serviced office customers. I am betting the company would rather go in and compete on its own merits and steal those customers if it had a choice.

I’ve been watching Stark move. It’s interesting that they are taking on investors in the serviced office space. I have been wondering if the executive office suites industry would see outside investment. While NYC Advisors probably isn’t investing millions to help Stark Business Solutions expand, it’s a significant announcement nonetheless. Anybody think we’ll see more investment in the serviced office industry?
