Virtual offices putting small businesses in prime addresses

An impression of The Watermark, a business park coming up in Karen, Nairobi.

With Britam Towers open to potential clients, being the tallest building in the region and second in Africa, top corporate clients will be jostling for space in the 32-storey building for brand visibility.

However, small start-ups who might not be able to foot the bills that come with setting up a new office in such high end buildings due to the high cost of office amenities and other installations might not make it onto the list of tenants.
