Office Relocation Location Guide
Guide to Office Space Locations
Relocating your business to a new location requires careful thought and strategic planning. Your business needs to be located in the right city based on your company type, the facilities you need and where your customers, vendors and staff are mainly located.
A poor choice of location can set your business back so it is important to weigh up your options and seek professional advice from a Tenant Rep Broker before choosing the location of your new office.
What to think about
Your office environment and where you choose to locate your business not only plays a vital role in creating a good impression with your clients and visitors, it also plays a key role in motivating and retaining your staff.
Any visitors and potential employees that visit your office form an instant perception about your company culture and values so it's important the new location meets and caters for these from both a location perspective and in the office design and build out process.
When deciding where to locate your business, think about adjacent facilities and transport links; not only for convenience sake, but being in the hub of other like-minded businesses will enable you to network and partner with other neighboring companies.
Consider what signs of regeneration or development are happening in the area. Whilst this may be a downside in terms of noise disruption in the short term, it may enable you to reap long-term benefit in an up-and-coming premiere location.
Wherever you decide to locate your business, make sure you use the Office Space Checklist to check whether your shortlist of office properties meet your operational and office space requirements.
