As the UK tech industry grows and new innovation clusters emerge, we’ve supported technology companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups to established scale-ups, in securing the right locations at the right rates to align with their business goals. Many of the most forward-thinking tech firms have chosen to base themselves around the UK, and we’ve helped them do so in ways that meet both operational demands and stakeholder expectations.

We act as an extension of our clients’ teams, offering strategic advice to optimise office space, manage overheads, and align workspace planning with growth targets. Whether anticipating future needs or helping meet financial milestones, we’re a trusted relocation partner for the tech sector.

Why tech companies work with SHB

SHB specialises in helping technology companies — from early-stage startups to established scale-ups and global tech enterprises — find, negotiate, and secure office space that fits their growth ambitions.

Technology firms move fast. Headcount changes quickly, fundraising rounds create new space requirements overnight, and culture is often as important as square footage. Our advisors understand the pace of the tech sector and deliver agile, responsive advice to match.

We’ve helped tech clients in:
• Sourcing first offices and co-working solutions for seed and Series A businesses
• Negotiating flexible lease terms that align with growth and runway
• Locating and securing managed and serviced office space in key London tech clusters
• Planning larger HQ moves as businesses scale beyond 50, 100, or 500 desks
• Managing multi-city and international expansion

Key office locations for tech companies

The UK technology sector is one of the most exciting commercial property occupiers in London and beyond. From Silicon Roundabout and Shoreditch to Manchester’s NOMA and Edinburgh’s tech quarter, technology businesses are reshaping demand for flexible, dynamic, and well-connected office space.

Old Street and Shoreditch remain the heartland of London’s tech scene, but we also advise clients across Fitzrovia, King’s Cross, Southbank, and Farringdon. For regional tech hubs, we have deep knowledge of Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Leeds.

What growing tech firms look for

• Flexible lease structures and break clauses
• Buildings with strong connectivity and smart infrastructure
• Access to talent — locations near transport hubs and universities
• Spaces that reflect culture: open-plan, collaborative, with room for events
• ESG credentials increasingly important for investor-backed firms
• Cost-efficient options without sacrificing quality or location
