Finding the Perfect Office Space for your New Business

Serviced Office Space for New Businesses

If you’re setting up a new business, one of the most important things you need to consider is your office space, as this will be the central hub from which your business is run from. Making sure your office space works hand in hand with your company’s requirements can mean make or break when it comes to business success.

Key Features to Consider

  • Office Price

    Many start-up businesses will have a smaller budget than well established companies. However, this shouldn’t be a problem, as Search Office Space has a vast range of affordable serviced offices for rent, from cheap office space through to , and in all major cities across the globe.
  • Office Location

    One of the most essential features to consider when finding the perfect office space is location. You need to carry out research to assess what locations are popular with specific business sectors. For example, if your company is within the financial sector, renting office space in The City of London would be a worthwhile consideration. Or, for companies within the publishing sector, areas such as Clerkenwell and Farringdon could be beneficial, as the right location can create a strong reputation for your business.
  • Office Size

    This is one of the hardest decisions to make, especially if this is your first business. The size of your office space depends on your business sector. For example, if your company is strictly office-based, your main concern will be workstations and desks, whereas creative and research based companies may need more studio space and open- plan style working environments. However, as a general rule of thumb, your business may wish to consider allocating 125sqft of office space per employee. This includes a proportion of meeting room space, reception space, desk, chair and filling cabinet space.
  • Internal Communications at the Office

    IT and communication systems are extremely important when it comes to finding the perfect office space, as internal communication between staff is essential. Some of the best ways to ensure this is through Servers or Local Area Networks (LANs) which allow document sharing and digital communication. Today, one of the most popular forms of communication is through Wireless Internet, as this reduces the need for cables and wires and allows new technology such as smart phones to become part of your everyday office equipment.
  • Virtual Office Space

    Instead of renting serviced office space, your company may wish to consider renting virtual office space. This solution provides your company with a prestigious business address, off-site communications and mail services, all at a lower cost than traditional office space. Virtual office space is becoming increasingly popular, especially for start-up businesses with lower budgets. One of the great things about virtual offices and the flexible contracts that come with it is that you can expand your business at short notice and begin renting serviced office space once your company has established a name for itself.
