BASE Services

BASE strives to provide the highest quality of service to its clients, patrons and community in all activities run. In general we provide 4 core services:

1. Incubator units for start-up businesses.

The resident companies in the specified incubator units are given an annual license, which can be renewed for up to 3 years, after which the companies are expected to relocate in the mainstream property market. The Centre also operates a stepped-license fee policy, offering a low license fee in year one, increasing by approximately 33% in year two and a similar percentage increase in year three. BASE resident companies have access to a range of services; including meeting room facilities, fax, photocopying, reception, post sorting and delivery facilities, security, as well as the backup of the BASE staff team.
