After exclusively being a back-end service provider to five local companies for more than a decade, Full Suite has opened its doors to serve more entrepreneurs. We’ve repackaged our service offering to suit the different needs of our clients ranging from business set-up/registration, accounting, human resources and marketing services.

Our goal is to be the go-to company for any entrepreneur with an idea. We want to make things easier for you by taking care of the back end stuff so you can focus on making your business grow.
Call or email us now and tell us how Full Suite can mind your business.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working on turning our lounge into a coworking space. After lots of research, brainstorming sessions and stalking our counterparts, we now call our space –co.lab !
We held some jellies, looked for and signed contracts with brand ambassadors and even got featured in the newspaper!
To officially launch co.lab, we will be holding a series of workshops, with the first one to be facilitated by Ms. Ruby Veridiano on March 30.
Exciting, isn’t it?
Coworking spaces are very common elsewhere around the world, but it’s still a new concept here in the Philippines. Being the first of its kind in the city, we’re not yet sure how the market will respond, or how viable the business model is. But we believe in the concept, and it is in line with our goal of supporting entrepreneurship in the country.
So many exciting things happening here at Full Suite. Watch out for more in the coming months!
Outsourcing = Call Centers?
When you say outsourcing, a lot of Filipinos immediately think of call centers. But outsourcing is really, a lot more than just answering calls for other people. Outsourcing is basically hiring a third party to perform a function for you...
Full Suite has been doing this for local companies for more than a decade. We’ve handled their administrative, financial and human resources needs so they can focus on their core competencies, and at the same time, lower costs. Take the case of one of our clients, an IT company. Their key strengths are: technical knowledge+skills and customer service. But there are other things that need to be taken care of in order for them to function well as a company-such as counting money, paying employees, taking care of the office, supplies and inventory, among others. If they hire different people to handle each of those tasks, plus allocate space and resources to them, the company would have to spend so much. This is not very practical for a small company, because they won’t be able to maximize the investment, given the relatively small amount of work they will handle.
Imagine the cost (and headache) for each additional employee:
salary + hiring and training costs + computer + desk space + utilities
When you outsource a function, you only pay a fixed amount for someone who specializes in it. So not only do you cut costs, you can also be assured of quality work (and less headache!).
Contact us and find out how outsourcing can benefit your business.

Analyzing the Principal Laws of Laptopistan
Gina sent me this article over the weekend. It really got me thinking: what kind of culture do we want at Full Suite? Mr. Sax’s observations of the principal laws of Laptopistan (aka Atlas in Williamsburg, Brooklyn) gave me the unexpected push to verbalize what I’ve been pondering over the last few months.
1st Principal Law: Silence Is Golden. Mmm, not so much at our lounge. We certainly respect privacy and some people’s need to work in a quiet environment. But at Full Suite, we thrive in companionship and in exchange. I love looking up and asking my thoughts out loud to whomever might be sitting at the table. It’s so wonderful to be surrounded by individuals from different fields and getting feedback from them.
2nd Principal Law: Respect Personal Space. Sure, I’ll respect your space–but that just means I wont look over your shoulder at your screen or at scrutinize your notes on the table. I will happily sit next to you. One of the reasons I fell in love with Le Pain Quotidien was the way the large communal table just disarmed people by encouraging them to share. We’re all at Full Suite because we want to be there with other humans (and sometimes dog).
3rd Principal Law: Mind Your Neighborhood. This, I totally agree with. I’ve had my fair share of needing to hit the bathroom but not being able to move for fear that my laptop wont be there when I get back. We want to build a community of safety and trust. Not only with your things but with your ideas. The next person you meet at Full Suite might just be your next partner. And we want to take care of you all by giving you a great place to work. The writer describes Laptopistan as an “entrepreneurial economy, driven by solitary thinkers” — we want to be the opposite, fueled by ideas and driven by collaboration.
Wow, so this is my first blog entry. I feel like I just lost some steam — but writing that took my breath away. I got excited because I know this is the beginning of something great.
Till the next one.

We were glad to have Arriane, thesenategirl, and the Lifestyle Asia crew over at Full Suite for a TV program shoot last Saturday. Tune in to Lifestyle Asia and watch out for this feature!
Also, notice how we’ve rearranged and shifted things around the Lounge. ;)
Check out the rest of the pictures below:
We’re inviting entrepreneurs, creative people, business men and women, professionals to come to our launching event on October 13!
For more details contact Ann at [email protected] / 0917 618 5422 / 02 500 6777. We’re keeping attendance at an intimate level so RSVP while it’s early.
See you here at Full Suite!
A clean and simple blank canvas setting to clear the clutter in your head, with a stylish modern yet warm vibe to inspire creative thought. We have created a place that we ourselves like to work in.
Our lounge and offices are fully serviced by a butler who can offer you coffee or a chat. Or perhaps you need that shirt pressed for that meeting you’re headed to in an hour?
Welcome to your corporate urban oasis where you can work away from home, escape the four corners of your office, or perhaps enjoy a healthy exchange of ideas with other entrepreneurs and professionals. We’re just like your office but minus the dreary furniture and chaos.
We like to keep things fresh!
We have re-arranged our 40 sqm office into a more communal semi-private room. We invite you to come and work here or how about patterning your own office after this comfortable set-up?
