Your definitive guide covering all the things you should consider when picking a new office
With so many great offices on the market it can be hard to distinguish between the pros and cons of a space if you’re not experienced in commercial property. Some offices have very little setting them apart for their neighbours, but if you approach the task with a clear idea of what you want from your workplace it should be made all the easier. Five key points to think about are:
1. Price - Most people are acutely aware of their financial restrictions and this will be the main guideline for your office space search. How much you have to spend is the first item to assess before you go office hunting.
2. Location – It is often said that location is the most important consideration when buying or renting a property. Think about an area that will support your business with a local network and choose a location that will be reachable for both staff and customers.
3. Space – With around 125 sq ft required per staff member you’ll need to choose an office that can comfortably accommodate your business. You’ll also need to choose a functional space that can provide what you need for your day to day running.
4. Corporate image – Think about whether the office reflects your company image accurately and whether the whole package sells your business to visiting clients.
5. Time – Is it the right time to move office? Judging when to make your move can optimise your chances of success.
