The world of work is changing. It’s not just the pandemic, although it is an undeniable factor. Even before, there was a shift in how we work and where we work. Many of us realized that we could sustain (or improve) productivity while more effectively balancing work and life. And many businesses realized that there are tremendous efficiencies possible with a workplace that is less restrictive and far more flexible. Office suites for rent may be just the solution you’ve been searching for. How can it help your business thrive?
The Importance of Having Your Own Office
The world of work is evolving… but one factor remains the same: we still need to get things done! Projects. Pitches. Presentations. Meetings. Thinking. Brainstorming. Doing. Taking advantage of office suites for rent helps you meet business-building goals by:
Helping You Contain Costs
Budget 101: make sure you have more going in than you have going out. Life, and business, are not always this clearcut, but generally, this holds true! Office space rental helps you make the most of your budget when compared to leasing options. You will realize efficiencies in several ways:
- You enter into short-term, flexible rental arrangements versus being tied to a long-term commercial lease.
- Overhead is an expense of the past. You don’t have to pay for line items such as office furniture, equipment, cleaning, and maintenance.
- Downpayment? Property taxes? Insurance? Nope. You’re ready to get to work without a burdensome upfront investment.
- Wireless internet and associated equipment (e.g. printers, copiers, faxes, screens, etc.) are included in your agreement.
- You benefit from shared amenities, from a receptionist to greet guests to a kitchen to make your morning coffee (and network with other professionals!).
- You can scale up or down as needed. If you were in a commercial lease and needed to add employees and/or equipment, you’d have to lease yet more space and enter into yet another long-term agreement. What happens in six months when your big contract ends? You scale down – but are left with the extra space. With rental services, you can use what you need when you need it.
Establishing Legitimacy
Where do you do your best work? It may be at your desk. Or it may be at the corner coffee shop, the library, or your dining room table. If it is, great! Do what works for you. But meeting a client in your PJs or presenting a financial plan to potential investors while juggling your mocha latte may not send the message you want.
Business is an image. When you have a professional workplace, it affirms your legitimacy to prospects, clients/customers, investors, prospective employees, community leaders, and other key stakeholders.
Think of it this way: would you feel more comfortable entering into a partnership with a person who doesn’t disclose a physical address (as is often the case when folks work from home) or with someone who has an upmarket location? It’s a no-brainer.
The location of office suites for rent matters. When it is in a desirable business market with easy access to transportation options, shops, services, restaurants, accommodations, etc., it reflects all the better on your business. You are at the heart of the action.
Combining Connection with Privacy
We cannot underestimate the importance of having your own office. The majority of workers prefer it, and it is essential to ensure you have the privacy and distraction-free quiet you need to think, read, research, create, talk, and meet.
Collaboration and connection are essential, yes. But sometimes, you need to close the door and get to work. At the same time, office suites for rent allow you to open up that door to a coworking environment.
You can chat, connect, and collaborate with other professionals. You can also remove one of the big barriers associated with working in remote or virtual settings: isolation and loneliness. This is a big problem for many. With a rental situation, you have the ability to work in proximity to others, socialize, and forge relationships. On your terms.
