In Singapore, five in 10 SMEs opt for standard office spaces, whilst only three in 10 go for co-working spaces.

Business parks and industrial buildings are also popular choices, with 37% and 34% of SMEs expressing a preference for them, respectively.

Few prefer shophouses (28%) when selecting a new workspace.

Location and cost aside, most SMEs (64%) care most about a workspace's available amenities and services.

Chart of the Day

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
