A move to a serviced office might be an economical option for those looking to start a new business.
According to Chris Wickson, co-founder of undergraduate recruitment website Ratemyplacement.co.uk, there is set to be a boom in graduates setting up new firms.
"I think there's definitely a little buzz around start-ups at the moment and people are realising that it's actually not that tough if you've got a good idea," he said.
Mr Wickson predicted that a lot of emergent companies will come from students and graduates who find there are not enough jobs for them.
And young entrepreneurs might wish to consider office space to rent for their new firms as a cost-effective option with added perks such as broadband.
According to the Federation of Small Businesses, as many as 300,000 people will become self-employed this year as a result of high levels of unemployment.
Online businesses will prove particularly popular, Mr Wickson forecast, because of their low costs and the wide range of opportunities available.
