Seat leasing is a service provided to small and medium-sized businesses that do not have the financial means to open their own office space. Seat leasing services give companies the space they need to host a group of employees overseas or create a personal area for themselves without having to worry about the associated technical costs (e.g., rent and office equipment.)

Seat leasing is different from staff leasing. In-seat leasing, clients prefer to handle their employees' recruitment, training, and management. Meanwhile, in staff leasing, all aspects undergo with their service providers. This includes communications and control over employees.
