Your business is your number one priority.
There's only so many hours in the day, and you need to ensure you are focusing on your core competences in order to get the job done and stay on top in your industry.
At the same time your office space just isn’t cutting it and you need to make a change.
Are you running out of space in your office and need to relocate? Is your business booming and productivity is slipping due to poor employee morale because there is no room to breath in your current space?
Or perhaps your office is old and dated and needs a refresh—perhaps you’ve actually lost some business due to your current aesthetics. Do you need to downsize?
These are just a few examples of issues that i encounter on a daily basis when helping professionals examine their office space requirements.
You don’t want to rush a move and make the wrong decision.
In fact your commercial lease—and your relationship with your landlord—is likely one of the most important influences of your business’ long-term success.
Location has a direct impact on your business’ brand image and market exposure. At the end of the day, location is a major contributor to your business’ bottom line, and long term success. Also, if you ever want to sell your business, the terms of your lease are going to be a major consideration.
The problem is many busy professionals simply don’t have the time required to dedicate to searching for space, setting up appointments, and negotiation of commercial leases. Because of this, many business’ that would benefit from a move to a new building end up making the decision to stay where they are because that is easy, and familiar.
But as well all know, you are only growing when you move outside of your comfort zone, and push your personal boundaries.
Get back to the business of your business.
Sure you could take the time to comb through MLS listings, try to track down building owners, and coordinate appointments, but this takes away from the time that you should be growing your business and attending to your most important tasks.
You could also just stay where you are and try to work with your existing landlord to renew your lease.
What about the cost-benefit of leasing versus buying?
These are all excellent considerations, and each needs to be scrutinized carefully in order to uncover the best course of action.
