How to rent an office space in Luxembourg

Renting an office in Luxembourg

Renting an office in Luxembourg requires you to think about what you need, how much you can afford, and what kind of space you want. There are different types of offices for different businesses. Serviced offices are a great option for startups or businesses that need flexibility. They come fully furnished with flexible lease terms and shared amenities like meeting rooms and reception services. Coworking spaces offer shared work environments with rental options for small teams or businesses that want to network.

Business centres offer private offices, shared spaces, and meeting rooms with flexible terms, along with essential services such as mail handling, reception, and internet. Virtual offices are a cost-effective way to establish a business presence without needing a physical office.

It is necessary to sign a lease for office space. Among the mandatory points that need to be checked:

• Who is the owner of the space and whether you agree with them (or their official representative).
• Characteristics of the rented property: address, square footage. presence/absence of furniture and equipment, quantity, and name.
• Amount of rent, duration, and regularity of payments, deposit, and additional payments (security alarm, electricity, internet, water, etc.).
• The purpose of the tenant's use of the property.
• The term of the lease.
• Procedure and conditions for extending and terminating the lease and returning the office.
• Conditions for the Lessor's access to the Premises.
• Rights and obligations of the parties about the office.
• Conditions for increasing the rent.
• Procedure for resolving disputes.

The space for your office can be found in several ways:

• through websites dedicated to office rental, such as Immotop.lu, atHome.lu, Imperium International, Regus,
• through the Luxembourg House of Startup or other business incubators offering office space.

What is virtual office and how to use it?

If you don't want to use your home address but still need one, a virtual office is a good option. Many virtual office providers in Luxembourg can register your business and handle your mail. This lets you have a registered office without renting a space.

This was done to minimize the number of companies operating on a "mailbox" basis — where there is only a postal address where correspondence can be delivered and the management is carried out from another location outside the Grand Duchy.

How much is the renting cost?

The cost of renting 1 square meter depends on the location of the premises, the presence or absence of furniture, and other factors. On average from 30 euros and up. A large office with an area of 500 square meters, will cost about 14.5 thousand euros per month.
