Understanding Your Business Needs

Before you even begin your search for a Brentwood office space, you will need to have a good think about your business needs. 

Firstly, you will need to think about the size of your business and how many employees you currently have. You will also want to think about where you hope to be in the future so you can future-proof your office. This will help you to gauge how much space you need within your office. 

You will also need to think about the type of office that works best for you and your team. There are so many options out there nowadays from co-working spaces to serviced offices to the more traditional office space. You will have to think about the sort of office that works best for your business. 

Think About Your Budget

Next, you will want to think and look into your budget. Knowing your budget will help you to confirm what size and type of office you can afford. You need to make sure to consider all the costs involved. If you go down the traditional office route, you will have to include utilities, maintenance and cleaning, alongside your rent. 

With managed or serviced offices, many things are included with the rent price, such as utilities, internet and the office will be maintained and cleaned by the company.

Looking At Different Type Of Brentwood Office Space 

As we have already mentioned, there are many different types of Brentwood office space and you need to think about what type will be best for your business. Here we will look at three types of offices that are widely available. 

Co-working Spaces

Co-working spaces are very much the norm for many businesses nowadays as they are much cheaper than other types of offices. This is due to there being less overhead costs as, when working from a co-working space, you share amenities such as WI-FI, printers and meeting rooms. Also, co-working spaces do not come with expensive, long-term leases. You pay monthly in order to work within the space. This is cost-effective and it also allows you to change offices as soon as you need to.

The cost-effective nature of these types of offices makes them very good for start-ups and freelancers. Freelancers, in particular, would also benefit from the ability to network with other local business owners within the shared space. 

Serviced Offices 

Serviced offices are excellent for flexibility and convenience. These types of offices come fully furnished and equipped with amenities such as heating, lighting, electricity, office furniture and WI-FI. You will also not have to worry about the maintenance of the building or equipment. This will be covered by the company that owns them. 

Also, they offer flexibility as you can choose the length of the lease. With companies, such as Cinch Self Storage Brentwood, you are free to leave or change your office space before your rental period has come to an end. They are also extremely cost effective and help you to meet your fellow local business owners, allowing for networking and collaboration.  

Traditional Offices

Traditional offices are private commercial spaces which you rent or buy for use by just you and your team. As it is only being used for your business, you will be able to set it up how you want it and leave your business related items within the office space all the time. Having a traditional private office space also allows for a high level of data security as no one other than you and your team will be able to access the office. 

They can come with long-term leases, typically three to five years, which you cannot leave once the lease is signed. This can hamper your business growth. There are also large maintenance costs as you will have to build and maintain things such as meeting rooms, computers, WI-FI, printers etc. 

The long-term lease and higher costs make these a good choice for more established businesses.
