3 Issues to Consider When Renting a Commercial Office Space

Written by Metro Admin | 01/05/2015

Finding a new location for your business is exciting, but it can also be difficult if you don’t know what to look for. As rentals and leases have long durations, you need to make sure you’re choosing the right office space for your company.

At Metro Offices, we want to help you make the right choice for your business. Here are some factors to consider when renting a commercial office space:

Reputation of the Location
Your address can have a large initial impression on prospective clients.  Make sure you’re getting an office in a location with a reputation tied to your service.  Choose a location according to the type of business you have. If you’re in the financial industry, look for an office in your state’s financial district. When dealing with government agencies, it might be a good idea to have a Washington DC virtual office.

Neighbors
You should also consider your neighbors and other businesses in the area. Is the business next door a strong and growing company? Do they have many clients visiting? Any noise concerns from the other businesses? All these seemingly small factors can eventually add up to making your location choice a hit or a miss.

Building Maintenance
How is the property maintained? It may look good now, but will you be able to say the same a few years down the road? Ask for recent building upgrades or repairs and ask how often building improvements or updates are performed on the property.

You can help your business image by carefully choosing your office location. Location, maintenance, and nearby businesses are some of the things you should consider when searching for an office location.
