Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing Office Space for a Startup

Tip 1 - Make sure there are adequate electricity connections and internet coverage

If you are running an IT related business you will need to hook up a lot of computers or laptops to the main supply. If there are not enough electrical outlets you will need to get custom wiring done, which can be very expensive. Similarly, ensure proper internet coverage before you commit to a location.

Tip 2 - No competitor in your surroundings

Make sure there is no competitor of yours within the surrounding or you may lose a portion of business to them.

Tip 3 - Is your business online or physical?

This is an important consideration because online businesses don't necessarily need posh office spaces while real world, physical businesses need to create a positive image with the office space.

Tip 4 - It should be located conveniently for your team

Since its a startup, long hours are common for the team members. If your office is located far away your people will have trouble getting to work and back. Just make sure your office is located conveniently in a central, easily accessible location.

Tip 5 - Enough Parking Spaces for Your Employees

In my line of business, I have found parking spaces are limited and restricting. Lack of parking spaces, leads to lateness and in general office issues.
