Finding office space to rent is not an easy task. On top of that, most landlords are looking for long term commitments and will boost up the rent for shorter term deals. Know what you are doing and where you can go for help can make a significant difference to not only your bottom line, but also getting a space that is right for you.

If you need under 1,000 square feet, consider an executive suite or serviced office.
Executive Suites are an excellent option for smaller companies or branches. Many companies, large and small, choose to operate their business or satellite offices from an Executive Suite. Executive suites are essentially shared offices with services provided by a management firm. They are also known as serviced offices and are a great way for small companies to get off to a fast and low risk start and a great way for a fast growing company to have the flexibility for rapid growth.

If you need more than 1,000 square feet, get free help from a pro.
For most businesses, leasing office space is a major commitment. While the cost of office leasing can significantly affect your bottom line, it also has many other important consequences. Having a local office space expert on your team, who is in tune with the market and understands your needs, will make a big difference in your office space search and negotiation outcome.

Do you homework. Plan what you need.
The key to getting the best deal on office space at the right location is to define and understand your needs and wants at the outset. Discussing these details with key employees, a real estate professional and your space planner will ensure that your needs get met.
