Your office space is your “work home” that provides employees with a healthy and visually-pleasing place to perform their roles. Whether you need a commercial office for your startup company or it is time to move to a bigger and better space, there are several factors to consider before making a final decision. Use this guide to make a selection you will enjoy for years.

What Features Does Your Office Need?

1. Affordable Price

Look for an office space with flexible leasing options you can tailor to your commercial needs and goals. If you cannot pay for the first three months up front, look elsewhere. Learn if there are any fees attached to the lease and get several quotes from different locations to compare.

2. Reachable Location With Ample Parking

Choose an office space with a location convenient to your employees as well as clients, suppliers, affiliates, and anyone else walking through the front doors. Learn all the possible routes to your office, what area traffic is like, and whether any upcoming road or infrastructure construction will interfere with commute times. Also, look for an office space featuring plenty of public parking so your employees do not have to pay to park their vehicles.

3. Right Size

Think about the current size of your team and whether you will be hiring more employees in the coming months to determine office size. Also consider space for large, bulky equipment, as well as meetings and lunch hour socializing. Keep the general rule of at least 70 square feet per employee in mind so your team neither feels cramped or like they are miles away from their co-workers.

4. Attractive Architecture & Stylish Interior

Consider exterior and interior features of prospective office buildings since your selection must support your brand’s image. The exterior needs to be clean, well-kept, and welcoming, while the interior should evoke a sense of brand style and promote creativity. 

5. On-Site Maintenance Services

Find an office space with services such as on-site maintenance that keeps the building clean and safe. A dirty, dingy office hurts employee morale and health and sends the wrong message to clients and affiliates. On-site maintenance services help maintain your company’s reputation as well as the office’s indoor air quality so your team experiences fewer sick days and higher productivity.
