Finding small business office space is a key part of the startup process. Even if you intend to work from home there are a number of options worth considering that could work wonders with the professional public image of your company. These days your office need not be limited to an oversized warehouse any more than an unproductive location that is out of reach from your target audience.  Instant Offices Instant offices, virtual services, served office space, online marketing and more... The service provided by Instant Offices is entirely free so you wont be paying any excess on the price of your chosen office, in order to benefit from advice and industry knowledge offered by business.  If your business is likely to expand considerably then consider getting a slightly oversized space to allow for growth. Also consider getting a short-term lease should you out-grow the property sooner than anticipated. Served offices could be the way to go. With this option you pay monthly for an all-inclusive small business office space. This option means avoiding the expense and hassle of legal procedures and moving straight in to a spotlessly maintained building for which your landlord is responsible for everything from security to internet and communications, décor, insurance and office equipment. This is a fantastic way to get immediate access to a state of the art small business office that you can easily move out of when you need somewhere bigger. At the Instant Offices web site you can narrow down your search according to the specific requirements of your business such as size, length of term, location and so on. Small business office space is a competitive market so work out what you want before enquiring with particular estate agents who tend to have an unnatural amount of sales techniques up their sleeves. Even better, choose your small business office space from an impartial third party – these tend to be online these days and act as neutral and pressure-free places to research and buy. What to consider when finding your small business office space… Parking and Accessibility – Are you likely to have clients and staff coming and going regularly, if so is there sufficient room for easy access during working hours. Consider parking and also the location on a wider scale, for example it could become a problem if you favour a rural space with a lower lease but it is too far for potential clients to travel. Floor Level – Do you need to have the ground floor of a building due to the nature of your business. Disabled facilities – If you are not on the ground floor what standard is the access to the office space. Aesthetics – Consider what is important to you, your staff, and the image of the business. Do you think a good view is vital for the conference room. Security – Check for surveylance, 24hour security and anything else your business might require. Maintanence Charges – Do these come as excess or inclusive. What parts of the building are included in the lease – Does the contract include access to the lobby, lifts, bathrooms (which ones) and other parts of the building that could potentially be accessed by everyone. Virtual Office Requirements - For some small businesses it does not make economic sense to hire full time receptionists and support staff, in which case virtual offices are well worth looking into. Using a service like this will mean someone will answer the (redirected) phone and take messages as if they are on the company premises, thus maintaining the professional image of the business if you are away or too busy to answer it yourself. As well as the above, have a budget and lease length in mind. Although you are unlikely to match every requirement exactly you will be able to compromise on some of them having had time to prioritise which beats buying and then realising your new small business office space is missing an essential feature. For small businesses finding the right office space can be infinitely rewarding for both staff members and profit margins. A relaxed and clutter free working environment is a great motivator and makes a great change of scenery if you have previously run the business from home. | Free Business Cards
