Negative. When you rent a suite in an office building, the building management provides janitorial services, security guards, access cards and a mailbox (a small business has no use for a staffed mailroom). You do have to brew your own coffee, though.

It really depends. If you're talking about a WeWork competitor like Regus then you're right. However I've worked at startups that have rented many different kinds of offices (from Regus and WeWork, to industrial lofts, to retail storefronts). Many of these places were not "batteries included."

Not always. Our startup's rented suite in DTLA did not have janitorial services provided for (only common building areas) and no security guard. Access cards? It was a metal key.
