Which Office Space Is Right for a Team of 5 in Amstelveen?

For a team of 5 people, an office space of 40 to 60 m² is a good size in most cases. That gives everyone sufficient workspace, room for a small meeting table or consultation corner, and space for cabinets or equipment. Whether you end up at the lower or upper end of that range depends on how you work: are employees frequently out of the office, or does the entire team work in the office at the same time? In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions about renting office space in Amstelveen for a small team.

How many square metres do you need for 5 employees?

As a rule of thumb, 8 to 12 m² per person applies for a comfortable office environment. For 5 employees, that works out to an office of 40 to 60 m². If your team regularly meets with clients, the upper end of that range is the wiser choice. If employees work partly from home, a smaller space may be perfectly sufficient.

When making your choice, also take the following factors into account:

Work pattern: does everyone always work in the office at the same time, or is there hybrid working?
Meeting space: do you need a separate room, or is a corner of the office sufficient?
Storage and equipment: think about cabinets, printers, archive space, or specialist equipment.
Room to grow: do you expect to expand the team in the near future?

An office of 50 m² is a practical and comfortable size for most teams of 5 people. It is large enough to work professionally and receive clients, but not so large that you pay for unnecessary square metres. At Kronenburg Offices we offer office units from 25 m², with options that suit teams of 3 to 8 people well. This allows you to choose what truly fits your situation, without paying for space you don’t use.

What are the differences between a private office and a business centre?

The biggest difference is what is already arranged. With a traditional office, you rent a space and arrange everything yourself: internet, furniture, cleaning, security, meeting facilities, and service charges. With a business centre or serviced office, most or all amenities are already included in the monthly price.

Traditional office: more control, more work

A bare rental space gives you complete freedom in layout and use. But you are also responsible for everything yourself. You sign separate contracts for internet, cleaning, and security. You buy or lease furniture. You arrange the service charges with the landlord. For larger companies with their own facilities department, that can make sense. For a team of 5, it is often more hassle than it is worth.

Serviced office: less hassle, ready to move in immediately

A serviced office or office within a business centre offers an all-inclusive formula. You pay one monthly amount and immediately have access to a fully furnished workspace, internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, reception, and other facilities. Notice periods are often more flexible than with traditional rental contracts, which is an advantage for growing businesses.

For a team of 5, a serviced office is in most cases the most practical choice: you are up and running quickly, you have no hassle with suppliers, and you can focus entirely on your work.

What should you check when viewing office space for a small team?

When assessing office space for a small team, there are a number of things you really need to go through carefully before you sign. A beautiful space is only truly good when the practical prerequisites are in order.

Total monthly costs: what is included in the rental price and what do you pay extra? Think about internet, cleaning, service charges, parking, and meeting rooms.
Accessibility: how do employees and clients get there? Is there sufficient parking and are there good public transport connections?
Meeting facilities: are meeting rooms available and what do they cost?
Appearance: is the space representative enough to receive clients?
Contract flexibility: can you scale up if the team grows, or are you locked into a fixed surface area?
Internet and IT: what kind of connection is there and what are the upload speeds?
Security and access: is the building accessible 24/7 and how is security arranged?
Furniture: is the space furnished or do you need to arrange that yourself?

During a viewing, also simply sit down and see how it feels. Are the other tenants professional? Is it quiet enough to work with concentration? Are the shared spaces well maintained? That says more than a nice photo on a website.

Why do growing teams in Amstelveen choose a serviced office?

Growing teams choose a serviced office because it is the fastest and least risky way to start working professionally. You don’t need to enter into long contracts for bare spaces, select suppliers for internet or cleaning, or invest capital in furniture that may no longer fit three years from now.

In Amstelveen, there are several reasons why this location is attractive for small and growing businesses. The region is located directly below the Zuidas, with excellent connections via the A9, A10, A2, and A4, and is easily accessible by metro, tram, and bus. Rental prices are considerably lower than in Amsterdam itself, while the finish level of modern office buildings is comparable.

For a team that wants to grow, flexibility is also a practical advantage. At a good business centre, you can scale up to a larger unit without having to relocate. That saves time, costs, and disruption within the team. Would you like to find out more about what Kronenburg Offices has to offer?

How much does an office for 5 people in Amstelveen cost?

The costs for an office for 5 people in Amstelveen vary considerably, depending on the type of space and what is included. With a traditional bare rental space, you pay only for the square metres, but service charges, internet, cleaning, and possibly parking are added on top. With a serviced office, all of that is bundled into one monthly amount.

For an all-inclusive serviced office of 40 to 60 m² in Amstelveen, in 2026 you should expect a monthly amount that depends on the exact size, location, and included facilities. At Kronenburg Offices, our office units start from €1,250 per month for 25 m², with larger units available up to 85 m². For a team of 5 people, a unit of 50 to 60 m² is generally a good fit, and then you can be sure that internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, reception, and 24/7 access are already included. No hidden costs, no separate contracts.

When choosing, always compare the total monthly costs, not just the bare rental price. A cheaper space that you have to fully fit out and equip yourself is in practice often more expensive than an all-inclusive office where you can start tomorrow.
