How do I find the right location?

So you've started looking at office spaces in your area, that's great! Now it's time to narrow down which ones are worth spending money on. Consider things like costs, amenities, coworking areas, whether or not there are other companies in the building you could network with, how accessible the building is to public transit (if you need it), and most importantly, parking. It's difficult enough commuting to work every day without worrying about losing your spot or parkade fees!

The best thing about working within a coworking space is that they already have other companies housed in it. You instantly have access to a shared network of professionals that may help you with your business needs. You'll also have access to all ready office equipment and even a Conference Room!

 
 

Calculate all the costs, not just Rent alone

When calculating the cost of renting office space, it's important to remember that there are other costs to consider as well. You'll need to budget for things like deposits, renovation, electricity, internet, monthly maintenance, office and pantry supplies, etc. Make sure you have a reasonable estimate of all the costs involved before signing any leases.

Consider your needs

When looking for office space, it's important to consider your needs and what you'll use the space for. Will you need a lot of conference rooms for client meetings? How many employees do you have? Will everyone be working from the exact location, or do you need multiple spaces? Is there a particular area of town you'd like to stay in?

Once you've answered these questions, you can start to narrow down your options and focus on spaces that are a good fit for your company. Please do some research online and read reviews of different offices before touring them. This will help save time and money in the long run!

 
 

Narrow Down Your Options

When you've started to focus on spaces that fit your needs, it's time to begin touring them! This is the best way to get a feel for the space and see if it's a good fit for your company. Make sure to ask questions about parking, office layout, and what amenities are included.

After touring the spaces, it's time to decide which one is the best fit for you. This can be a difficult decision, but remember that you should choose the space with the most benefits for your company. Consider things like cost, location, amenities, and how much space you'll need.

Sign the Contract

Once you've chosen the perfect office space, it's time to sign the contract! Make sure you understand all the costs involved and what's included in the rent.

When you sign the lease, you agree to pay for the space for a certain amount of time. During these pandemic times, flexibility is the key. Usually, coworking spaces allow short-term leases - a month at a time. This makes it easy to stay current with the changing market and be adaptable to your needs!

Once everything is signed, it's time to get moved in and start working! Congratulations on finding your new office space!
