What to Look for in the Perfect Office
Category Property Management
If you are currently looking for the ideal commercial space for your business to thrive in, you already know that it can be challenging to find the right office to suit all of your needs. While there are many moving parts to consider, it is possible to secure a workplace that will boost productivity amongst your employees and create an environment for your company to grow.
Relocating to the wrong space, it could cost you employees or even clients. Factoring in future growth could prevent you from outgrowing your space too quickly and stunting your business development. Since this is a major decision your business, we have compiled a list of things to look for in the perfect office space.
Identify Your Business Needs
When you start looking at potential office spaces, you have to identify what your business needs will be. Consider how many staff members you need, how many boardrooms and breakaway spaces you require and consider future expansion.
Look At The Location
The location of your office space is paramount. You should look for commercial space that is easily accessible to your clientele, but that is also close enough for your employees to travel to and from on a daily basis. Secondly, consider what amenities your business and your employees require - having a shopping centre, cafes and restaurants nearby creates an opportunity for entertaining client and providing your employees with a place to go for their lunch hour.
Space to Grow
A business should not merely consider its immediate spacial needs but should consider expansion. Because lease agreements typically span three to five years, it is crucial to envision your business needs in the future. On average how many employees does your company grow by on an annual basis? Are you looking at expanding your operation to include a new division? These are only some of the factors you should keep in mind when deciding on your perfect office.
Think About Image
Your office is an extension of your company, so when you are going to view properties, consider if they send the right message to prospective and existing clients. For example, if you have a financial consultancy firm that deals with national and international clients - you may not want to run your operations out of a dilapidated garage. Think about the image you want to convey and whether or not you can feel proud of the space you will be conducting your business from.
The Importance of Parking
There is no point in moving to a new office if there is no space for your employees and visitors to park. For this reason, it is crucial to make sure that the office you decide on has enough allocated parking bays to accommodate your staff and clients. It is also a good idea to establish whether more parking spaces could be rented in the future, in the event of your business expanding.
Work With a Pro
The best way to secure the perfect commercial space for your business is to work, hand-in-hand, with an industry professional, who knows the market and what you should look out for.
