Making Maidstone the place to start a business with a new generation of workspace and a buzzing entrepreneurial community.
The Business Terrace was only opened by Maidstone Borough Council six months ago but already has 23 entrepreneurs working from its 11 offices and co-working desks which are creating a real buzz and dynamic working environment.
With unlimited fast internet (providing 100mb up and down speeds) included in highly flexible rental and desk tariffs, the facility is providing an inspiring and highly supportive environment for Maidstone’s entrepreneurs, home-based businesses and remote workers.
