NEWS FLASH EntrepreneursNew office-away-from-home downtown

I am psyched about a new business that's recently opened in downtown Cleveland. It's called "The Business Center," and it's a wireless-equipped business lounge with office rental/document service/transportation service and a-coffee-and-wine-bar-and-catering service.

For professionals who need to be downtown but don't have an office, this is a cool solution. Located in the Theater District, it offers affordable limo service to and from the airport as well as around downtown. Video conferencing available, big meeting rooms, 2 lounges. Wireless and long distance.

CEO Jayne Herchak says she and her partners had all experienced the frustration of being downtown with appointments to keep, nowhere to stay, and no way to get work done while waiting.

As part of their philosophy, they're showcasing Cleveland companies as often as possible--starting with partnering with other companies to offer their various services.

Customers might have a hard time finding them just now--no signage up yet because the exterior of the building isn't finished. Offices rent for $15 an hour. The patio is a few weeks away from opening. Open M-S, hours 6:30-9 M-T-W, 6:30-midnight, Th-F. Saturday open from 5 pm til midnight.

Jayne's friends say they've taken a bus all the way from Brecksville to land at the bus stop in front of the Wyndham Hotel--which she says is 10 seconds away from The Business Center's front door.

Don't call the number of the website--it's being used as a training site by one of the partners. The real phone number is 216.522.1220.

I don't know how you could get much cooler than this. See you at TheBusinessCenter.us soon!
