Could your company save $6000 per month and still be located in the best place in Boston to start your business without the time and hassles of setting up in a basement? Does your current space offer:

·	Unlimited conference/meeting space usage
·	Free long distance calls
·	Unlimited faxing, copying and printing
·	The priceless advantage of daily interaction between emerging companies, on-site investors and third party service providers.

Analysis of the fully loaded occupancy costs of a number of Boston-area emerging companies suggests that CIC is less expensive than direct leasing for emerging companies with 25 employees or less. Call Tim Rowe or Geoff Mamlet at 617-758-4200 and we will provide you with a detailed spreadsheet that enables you to enter in your own expected costs for various aspects of your business. It will help you forecast your infrastructure costs wherever you chose to locate, and will enable you to determine on your own whether CIC is right for you from a comparative-cost perspective.

Why should you bother? The necesity of a spreadsheet analysis like this is driven by the fact that myriad indvidual costs of running one's own office, from paper and toner in the copiers, to the cost of installing and maintaining a phone system, tend to be difficult to estimate and are thus ignored by many companies when they make their office location choices. Yet most small companies' "total cost of infrastructure" ends up being much higher than they realize, and higher than their cost would be at CIC. This is because CIC efficiently provides these services to a large number of small companies at the same time.

Other key cost benefits of CIC are:

·	At CIC you pay for only what you use. If you are a 5-person company expecting to grow to 20, you start out paying just for 5 people. This translated to a 400% savings on direct space costs.
·	CIC does not lock you in (we use month-to-month agreements), so you can swing your infrastructure costs up and down with the fortunes of your business. This can be more valuable to a small company than anything else about what we do.

If you aren't currently receiving all these benefits, contact Tim or Geoff at 617-758-4200 and we'll show you why to be at CIC is to be at the center of business success.
