COST COMPARISON EXAMPLE
Meridian Business Centers vs. Competition
Meridian includes everything you need to effectively run your business, in one low price. The chart below lists everything that is included in your monthly rent. Many executive suite operators tack on additional charges for every item you use, which can more than double the monthly rent you were expecting to pay.
Many of our competitors will also increase rent prices to include furniture in their rates - whether you use the furniture or not. Not at Meridian. If you would rather bring in furniture you already own, you are welcome to. If you don't have your own furniture and would like to rent it, a standard package is only $75/month.
Print the chart below to take with you as you look at different executive suite options. In the end, you will quickly realize the time, money and hassle you will save by officing with Meridian.
