About Us
Affordable and reliable Surrey office spaces
We have been providing reliable and affordable business services to business owners in Surrey for the last 20 years. We have been providing serviced offices, conference facilities, business lounges as well as professional administrative services to local businesses, enabling them to take their businesses to the next level. The company changed hands in 2012 when Katherine De Vita and Susan Laurio became the new owners, and have played a big role in bringing us where we are today.
Over the years, we have had a chance to work with over 300 companies – start-ups to established companies – both local and international, equipping us with vast experiences, which will come in handy to help you take your business to the next level. Basically, we’ve been offering Surrey office spaces, virtual office solutions, as well as professional and reliable administrative services to these companies. And we’ve always ensured that the businesses were operating in a clean and safe environment, not to mention a socially respectful environment.
We have served lawyers, engineers, financial brokers, financial advisors, energy directors, media executives, health practitioners and so many other professionals over the years, which is to tell you that no matter the field that you are in, we got you covered. We are located in a prime location, bordering South Surrey and White Rock, which is basically a walking distance of one of the country’s big banks. Other businesses in the area include eateries, grocery stores, coffee shops, and a shopping mall, which all makes it a business hub, and a place where your company will surely thrive. All these, plus the fact that it’s a convenient transit and that it’s a couple of minutes away from the beautiful White Rock Beach, means that there will surely be a lot of customers nearby.
Due to the increasing demand for Surrey business offices, OPBC decided to expand their available offices, where they added a couple of larger offices to its inventory, plus an amazing outdoor Terrace that’s used to provide our clients with extra protection when in meetings or gatherings. Something that we will never compromise is the health and safety of our clients, so we always do our very best to get it. As a matter of fact, we review and customize all our facilities regularly, not only to ensure that we meet the clients’ ever-changing needs, but we also ensure that their safety is always guaranteed.
We are practically a community within a community, and you know what this means for you? Well, success! Being part of a community fosters business success. Get in touch with us, and become a part of our community!
