You commit to a lovely new office in London for the team.
You thought you had enough meeting room credits but then after the first month, you get sent a huge bill for extra meeting rooms.
Meeting rooms for just 4 people are typically around £50 per hour.
So it is easy to see how the costs creep up.
The cost of meeting rooms can be unforeseen, but fortunately, they are avoidable.
Before committing to your new office, it's a good idea to consider looking into offices where the monthly cost includes meeting rooms.
They can be hard to find but there are a number of buildings in London that have free meeting rooms.
