Choosing Office Premises
1. The Right Location
1.1 Look for a location that fits all your business needs.
- Should you be near your existing and potential customers?Some businesses can operate successfully at long distance, using the latest technology.Others know that proximity to their customers is vital.
- Would you benefit from being situated near to other similar businesses?
- Should you be close to your suppliers?For example, if you subcontract work that needs close monitoring.
1.2 Decide how accessible you need to be.
- Should you provide parking for your customers and employees?
- Should you be near the motorway system or transport links?
1.3 Consider the trade-offs between location and cost.
- Lower prices in an area with a lot of vacant properties could mean the area is bad for business.
