 As the price is the most important part one should know how much to spend; neither spend more nor less, as spending more may end up creating bad debts and spending less will not give you satisfaction.

   So make sure before renting any place keep these things in your mind    

a.      Budget

Make sure you are ready to allocate a huge deposit while signing an agreement or in some cases, the owner asks the tenant to pay annual or biannual rent together. All these things should be clear before the agreement is signed.

b.     Overpriced

Ensure the space you like has similar rent compare to nearby localities. No one wants a big hole in their pockets, especially in the business. How can you identify the place is overpriced, the nearby place is selling like pancakes, go and look after all the places with the help of an agent, which will help you identify the prices, which will save your money?

c.      Hidden charges

Also, ask before settling any dues on the property, maintenance cost, parking costs as this might occur as a problem when you start your office. Ask the owner to sort out all the problems like water leakage, any mechanical issue, colour work, etc.

 

3.     REQUIRED AREA FOR OPERATIONS (SIZE)

 

One should know how much area is required for proper functioning. This factor depends on the number of employees you have. There is a general rule which recommends having 70 square feet per person. 

    70 square feet per person is the minimum criteria one should have if your work demands more you can modify accordingly.

     Let’s shortlist some points on which you can identify the perfect office space for you:

1.     Do I get a minimum of 70 square feet per person

2.     Do my office space has dedicated meeting or conference rooms

3.     Will my employees get a relaxing zone to chill during break hours

4.     Waiting area for clients.

5.     Storage space

6.     Do I need more employees in the near future?

7.     What type of employees will I be adding?

    Let’s take an, For example, you have 20 staff members so you can estimate 5000 square feet office space today, after a year you are planning to add more employees,  so you require additional 1500 square feet to accommodate your growth plans.

 It's not necessary to have a big space but it completely depends on what kind of employees you have if there are any senior employees they require private cabins to work if its newbie he/she will work in a cubicle so identify your needs and choose accordingly.

What does infrastructure mean and why is it so an important feature?

The basic physical and organizational structure required for smooth functioning is known as infrastructure. It is an important feature because if the office doesn’t have a proper infrastructure it would face many difficulties in proper functioning.

 The points to keep in mind for proper functioning are as follows:
