The ability to quickly find an optimum solution paves the path to a successful venture.
Two major complications with regards to office space one often encounters are:
Here are a few pointers that will help you figure out the “whats” and “hows” of such issues.
Acquiring property for a business is a very tedious process that involves several professional and legal issues. Moreover, one cannot totally avoid real estate costs. In addition to the obvious rent, lease or property costs, real estate also involves associated costs:
A business in a prominent location generally turns out to be more profitable, because not only does it attract more clients and project a brand image, but it also promotes employee satisfaction as it offers ease of commute.
However, offices in premiere locations come at huge costs that generally de-motivate the buyer.
Brokerage charges are the fees charged by a realty agent to facilitate transaction between the buyers/tenants and the sellers/owners of the property. Mostly, when the intent is business, the agents charge erratic amounts.
A certain amount of legal expenditure, such as stamp duty and registration fees, is involved in real estate registration. Unless the registration procedure is completed, one doesn’t have legal ownership of the property.
Other additional costs of real estate include infrastructure, furniture, fixtures and maintenance charges. These associated costs are constantly escalating, making real estate a huge concern for managers.
Mostly, people tend to take up large offices for their businesses in order to avail flexibility. However, most of the office space and infrastructure remains unutilised. While this seems to be a relatively smaller issue, one actually spends a large sum of their budget on infrastructure that isn’t optimally used, in the form of maintenance, repair etc. Unutilised or underutilised space also amounts to a huge expense in terms of the rent or lease paid for the space.
Moving to a smaller office won’t solve this issue, because then, one would have to compromise on the flexibility larger offices provide. For example, expansion would again require moving to a larger office thereby incurring large additional costs. Also, a smaller office also proves to be a hindrance in conducting professional meetings and conferences.
