Posted by Workloft on February 12th, 2018

Hunting down for an Office space can be hectic and arduous at times. Before you get on this onerous journey of finding a fine shaped office, try considering the below points which might help you seek a fully furnished and serviced office.

Location

The location should be top on the list while renting out for an office space. If your workplace is far from your home which involves long hours to commute this will waste your time and it will result in less work productivity. Also, long hours of travelling and complex journeys will make you feel exhausted and fatigue which will affect your work. Therefore, it is suggested to look for an office which is near to your house or near to station. For instance; I am working from WorkLoft, a coworking space located in central Mumbai, this place has a perfect location, it’s just a minute away from Nahur Station.

Budget

Budget is constant in our mind when we are looking out for an office. We cannot deny in saying that it is difficult to rent out a professional space without burning a big hole in your pocket. Henceforth, try to find an office which provides a good professional environment at an affordable price. Seeing this struggle, coworking space came into existence. Coworking space provides a fully furnished office with attached basic business amenities such as Wifi, professional conference/meeting rooms, dedicated fixed desk, 24*7 access to office, Printing or scanning facilities and Tea/coffee or café facilities at an affordable rate. And no strain of Maintenance or Electricity charges.

Professional image

It is necessary to choose an office space for rent which is fully furnished and equipped. Less furnished or under construction office environment will affect your professional contacts or meetings. If you have a meeting from well-known delegates or professionals and you are owning an office which has no conference room or the office is still not fully furnished, this may not be preferred by the professionals and therefore you might end up losing the contract. Thus, choose your space wisely.

Safety surroundings

Safety and security is everybody’s concern today. It is recommended to find an office space on rent which has a safe vicinity and the office is under CCTV surveillance. If you are running a business make sure you are responsible for yourself and your employees, also at times, you are required to work even at nights, hence rent out space accordingly.

Easy access

It will help to rent out an office where you can easily find a food corner and easy access to the local transport or trains. There are times when you are not carrying your lunchbox or you have to walk along the pathway to get a bus or cabs, this will make you tired and less work oriented.

Flexibility

It is hard to find an office space for rent which gives a 24*7 allowance, which means where you can work any time in day or night. It is suggested to find a place which gives 24*7 access to the office and flexibility in time. 

Hidden Cost

It has been noticed that many coworking office space providers often show bare bone offices at low prices and add piecemeal at every amenity offered. Therefore, wear your magnifying glasses while looking for an office and talking to a vendor.

One last parting advice 

It's your office and it is important to you as you will be working there for a long time. Henceforth, choose your space wisely and hope the above pointers might help you and make your hunting easy and stress-free.
