First Choice Business Center

What First Choice Business Center does

First Choice Business Center (FCBC) operates as a serviced office and flex-workspace provider across five German cities: Essen-Rellinghausen, Frankfurt am Main, München (Hallbergmoos/Airport), Neuss, and Wiesbaden. The brand is operated by DDS Conferencing & Catering GmbH, a private limited company registered in Berlin (Handelsregister Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Nr. 110859B), and sits within the Sirius Facilities GmbH group alongside sibling workspace and conferencing brands (Sirius Communicator, Meet Inn, MyLager, MyBig16, B1 Business Park). FCBC serves a heterogeneous mix of startups, founders, freelancers, mid-market companies, and digital nomads seeking professional office infrastructure without the capital outlay and commitment of a traditional lease.

FCBC's product portfolio comprises fully furnished private offices (Einzelbüros, Doppelbüros, Premium-Büros, and complete Büroetagen), flexible coworking spaces, day offices (Tagesbüros), professionally equipped meeting and conference rooms (Tagungsräume), and three tiers of virtual office packages providing a business address, mail handling, and optional secretarial services. All offerings are bundled with a "Rundum-Sorglos" all-inclusive service package that includes ergonomic designer furniture, staffed reception and secretarial services, high-speed internet and telephony, printing infrastructure, postal handling, parking, and a coffee/tea flat rate. Contract terms are highly flexible, starting from one day (coworking/day offices) or one month (private offices) with monthly cancellation available; coworking day passes are publicly listed starting at €33.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring monthly office rental (subscription), usage-based coworking and day-office passes, meeting room rentals, and recurring virtual office subscriptions. Distribution combines online self-service booking for low-friction products with a consultation-led sales motion delivered through a free 0800 service hotline and on-site office viewings for longer-term commitments. The underlying technology stack is predominantly physical infrastructure — office fit-out, ergonomic furniture, conventional telecommunications, and printing — augmented by standard digital marketing tooling (SEO content marketing, Facebook Pixel conversion tracking, Google Remarketing) rather than proprietary software or AI-driven automation.
