Things to look for in a startup office
Every business needs something different from their startup office space, but there are a few things which are important to consider to get you started.
- Wifi – Ready-to-use wifi with easy connectivity and fast speeds are vital to get your employees moved in and working quickly.
- Furniture and equipment – A fully furnished office space will make your life easier when first moving into the office and it gives you an idea moving forward as to how much you can fit in a space and will also save you a lot of money on initial costs.
- Co-working/shared space – Reducing your overheads by opting for Co-Working spaces can be a great way of making your startup office space more affordable.
- Flexibility – Choosing an office space with room to grow and a layout which you can play with is ideal for a startup business preparing for growth. Planning ahead and choosing a flexible office space is key if you don’t want to move offices each time you need to expand.
- Location – Where you put your business can have a large impact on your employees and clients. Make yourself accessible via public transport, being central to those that frequent your office space and having plenty of local amenities such as restaurants and cafes to improve the happiness of your employees and give you options for business lunches with clients.
- Don’t forget, location can also impact your rent, so weigh up if the area is worth spending a bit more for and how much wiggle room you have in your budget.
- Rolling a monthly contracts – Ideal for giving you the freedom to move when you need to, rolling monthly contracts allow you to expand in your own time and on your own terms.
- Meeting rooms – Although not as vital as the other points, meeting rooms are helpful when it comes to business calls, one-to-ones and department catch-ups to give privacy and formality to communications.
