==================
Let’s say you’re just starting out in business. You need an
office but your budget margin is so tight it leaves little room
to afford one cubicle, never mind a whole office suite with the
equipment and amenities you need such as a kitchen and
conference room.
You drive by and see a sign out front of a nice office location
which reads `Commercial Office Space’. The building looks
respectable. Maybe this is for you?
You take a moment to stop in and find The people inside are
quite friendly. The commercial office space shown to you is
clean and spacious, except that it consists mainly of bare walls
and a floor. But then again,that’s what you had expected in the
first place.
You are ready to negotiate a one year agreement when the
leasing agent lies a thick stack of documents in front of you
and announces, “This is our standard lease contract.” You begin
reading…or try to read. But it contains so much legalese your
eyes begin to glaze over. Now you understand why everyone always
says, “If you’re going to lease commercial office space, you
should consult with your lawyer before signing it.” But there is
one thing you do understand – the contract is for three years
minimum.
Most people realize it would be unwise for any new business
owner to get locked into an office space agreement for three
years. In reality, this is more geared for an established
business. Also, what if all goes according to plan, and in six
months you have already forecasted that you are going to need
expansion room? This contract doesn’t seem to address these
types of unpredictable factors.
As for your tight budget, you begin thinking about all that
bare office space. You’ll be responsible for purchasing all
kinds of furniture and office equipment. Plus, you will need to
hire a receptionist to take your calls and greet your visitors
when you’re out of the office. It is beginning to make you
nervous when you consider these additional costs.
Before you sign a long-term contract research all your options.
Some options are so incredibly flexible, expanding and
contracting as fast as you can sign your name. One such option
is executive suites, which can be dubbed the alternative to
commercial office space.
Not only does executive suites come fully furnished, they
provide a receptionist and have flexible leasing options and
offer short-term, easy to understand contracts to accomodate
your budget. You will be amazed at the choices provided by
executive suites for the new business owner. It is a more
practical, sensible approach to leasing office space and takes
into account your present and future needs from day one.
