Looking for an office space? DO NOT determine your search on the number of square feet only! Why? Because eventually the square footage will be determined by the following:
- How many current employees you want to house - The kind of business you are in - The kind of office you are looking for - What your future expansion plans are
First, you need to tell the real estate agent how many people you want to put in the office and what business you are in. Do not start mentioning square footage, because the agent should be able to know what you need. In addition, if you are already focused on how many sqft you want, you might not be open for objective advice. Sometimes a smaller space just might suit you better. A 145 sqft office always sounds like it is too small. However, this really depends on the type of business you are in said Christian West from Palagon. For example, a call centre contacts its clients by phone and needs therefore less office space than a consultant who meets his clients face to face, he added. Thereby, with a business centre you will have a reception of around 125-250 sqft and your own office space can be smaller. The rest of the amenities will also have an influence on the actual space needed. That is why Palagon determines the actual space you need mainly on those factors. We will give advice based on our knowledge and experience, he continued.
The last important factor you need to take in consideration are your future expansion plans. The future is unpredictable; you will not know how your business will run. Nobody wants to pay for office space they will never use, whereas being tight to a contract while ready for expansion is neither an option. The best option to deal with this uncertainty is to look for a business centre that enables you to move to a bigger office within the same building when you want to expand.
