Check the parking situation
Parking is a major consideration when it comes to picking your new office, as it is something that needs to be checked so you can make sure there is adequate parking for clients that visit the office and also your staff. If people are visiting your business they want to know they are going to be able to park their car and it is going to be safe and secure and not having to be parked miles away, if you need to update your parking area or expand it then chatting to some commercial builders will help you to get some ideas of what you can do.
Renting out additional space
A great thing to consider is whether or not you will have any additional space to rent out. Renting out unnecessary space is a great additional income for your business, you can rent out offices and desks to those who need it whether it is for the day, the week or on a long term basis, then if you need to expand again and increase your space you can always then use it for yourself. It is also good should you need to downsize down the line. Maybe you cut down your staffing, you can then rent out even more space and make more money on it.
What security it has
You need to think about what security the building will have or you may need to get, it is so important that your business is well protected both physically and also online too. You want to make sure that you are not going to be broken into as you will most likely have a lot of tech that would be worth quite a bit if stolen. Make sure you have CCTV and alarm systems and get them setup by yourself or change any details when you take over the building to prevent any previous owners from using it and exploiting it.
If you are running your own business and you are looking to move your business to a new office then hopefully, these few tips will help you to get started on your preparation for the move and what you should consider when getting a new office.
