Today's consumers are sharing bikes, vacation homes, textbooks and couture, and smart businesses are jumping onto this trend of collaborative consumption to meet their needs efficiently. Through the new program offered by Zipcar and Regus, businesses can share resources they need to be successful – like workspace and vehicles – at a reduced cost, making doing business even more convenient and cost-effective.

We see many parallels between our service offerings and look forward to helping businesses with our smart solutions."
