Companies considering moving to serviced offices in Northampton could find the fact they do not have to worry about building maintenance an appealing factor.
Allianz Engineering has reminded businesses that it is important to ensure regular electrical inspections are carried out in the workplace in order to prevent fires.
The organisation urged firms to have equipment checked on a regular basis as each year such products cause more than 20,000 blazes.
Steve Ford, special services manager at Allianz Engineering, said: "Fire in the workplace can be devastating for a business. Not only is there a risk of serious injury or death, but employers could also be left with significant costs in damage."
His comments came following the Electrical Safety Council and local fire and rescue services' launch of Electrical Fire Safety Week 2011.
Sir Ken Knight, the government's chief fire and rescue adviser, warned individuals not to overload plug sockets and unplug items when they are not in use.
