How
To: Office Search
Tips
So you are on
the lookout for
the perfect office
that will accommodate
your company’s
growth. It is
important for
you – the
business owner
– in your
office search
to figure out
how your office
rental will (or
won't) contribute
to the success
of your business.
What do you need
to consider?
Cheap
Rent vs. A Prestigious
Address?
For some business,
such as retail
and F&B outlets,
location makes
the difference
between business
success and business
failure. But for
other business,
such as BTB and
internet-based
enterprises, it
would make more
sense for their
office rental
to depend on cheap
rents rather than
a prestigious
address.
How Much
Rent Can You Afford?
In most cases,
companies opt
for office rental
rather then buying
property and an
important aspect
of your office
search is finding
a place that falls
within your budget.
Based on your
projected revenue,
estimate how much
rent your business
would be able
to pay each month
taking into consideration
other expenses.
It
is always a good
idea to research
into average office
rental costs in
the area you are
looking at.
Are The
Amenities Appropriate?
• |
Communications
Wiring
Modern phone
and other
data lines
are essential
to businesses
today. When
viewing
a property,
ask about
available
communications
wiring. |

• |
Electricity
& Air
Conditioning
Make sure
that any
office rental
space you're
looking
at has enough
power points
that your
business
will need.
If you will
be running
electricity-hungry
equipment,
find out
how much
power the
circuits
can handle
and whether
a generator
is available
in case
of black
out. Also,
if you are
going to
keep sensitive
24-hour
technology
in your
office,
ask how
many hours
of air conditioning
are included
in the terms
of your
office rental
lease, and
negotiate
longer hours
if necessary. |

• |
Parking
If you see
a lot of
your customers
arriving
by car,
your office
search might
need to
include
looking
for an office
that has
adequate
parking
nearby. |
| |
|
• |
Public
Transport
Consider
if your
employees
are dependent
on public
transport.
It would
affect productivity
if employees
had to travel
far to get
to work. |
| |
|
• |
Zoning
Rules
Legally,
the location
that you
choose needs
match whatever
industry
your business
is in. For
example,
you will
not be allowed
to base
an industrial
business
in a residential
district. |
