Location is the first thing that bothers most businesses while searching for office spaces. Ensure if your employees and clients can reach your location comfortably or not. If you get a satisfying answer for these two questions then you have found the right location for your office. Also, check for the surrounding areas. What all are available nearby and how secure the locality is. Coffee shops, good eating joints, after work bars and a healthy atmosphere, are some of the requisites you should look for to make your office location inviting for your clients.

 

  1. Expenses

Cost of the office space is another very crucial factor for many clients while searching for an office space. If you find a very cheap office then you might not feel comfortable working there, if you finalize an expensive one, you may struggle with your other expenses every month. None of the two would be an ideal option to search for an office. So how to find out an office that can meet your demands within your budget?

 

Firstly, think if you can immediately deposit 3-month rent on the office you selected. Ask, if there is any hidden cost like electricity, parking, maintenance, security, office staff, etc.? Did you compare the cost with other office spaces in the similar category in the same neighborhood? While searching for serviced offices, do a quick comparison of all the options available in the same locality. Aforementioned questions will help you get the best deals available at the cost you are ready to pay. 

 

  1. Size of the Office

Size of the office space you choose is another important factor that you cannot ignore. You should be aware of the requirements you have presently and the requirements you plan for the near future. Your decisions should be based on these factors. You know your business requirements best, hence you have to make a choice keeping in mind that workstation is the space where people spend 7 to 8 hours of a day. That space should be good enough to make the people sitting there work comfortably.

Moreover, you will also need space for meeting, common area, eating and spending some time chatting with colleagues and some space for unwinding. Cafeteria, recreational section, restrooms are other essentials that you cannot ignore to make your office space an ultimate place to work. Cluttered and cramped workstations are demotivating hence a good working space is a must to keep the productivity high. 

 

Furthermore, do keep your expansion plans in mind while finalizing your office. 

 

  1. Office Set-up

These days though every office space is well-equipped with all the essentials like internet connection, Wi-Fi, Projectors and LED screens in meeting rooms, telephone connection, fax, printers, scanners, photocopiers, etc. it is still important for you to take note if the office space that you are buying is equipped with all these essentials. Also do check for the data speed that is being offered, if you can. 

 

However, it is important to find out how reliable these services are. You can find out the same from the companies who are already running their office from there. And finally, do ask how they are charging or if everything is inclusive in the rent.

Though people don’t give much importance to this factor, in today’s demanding world this has become a very crucial one. It is said, ‘the first impression is the last impression’. Hence it is very essential to know if the office that you are planning to choose would be able to impress your clients, partners and good talents in the industry.
