What Should Go into Your Checklist of the Best Office Rental?

Choosing the right office for rent (also known as ออฟฟิศให้เช่า) is just as important as searching for your next home. More so because you'll be conducting business in it with clients and even staff. Image is important in the business world, and the right office can definitely help boost your reputation. Having a clear checklist, which includes location, budget, and amenities, will help you avoid regrettable mistakes.

Location and Accessibility

Like most things in real estate, location is everything for office space.

• Ensure it's located in an area that allows you to manage and operate your business effectively and efficiently. The best office must be conveniently located with excellent links to various transportation options.
  
• It should be accessible in many ways, whether by private vehicles or public transportation, and must have parking. This is especially true if there are required deliveries and trucks may be used.
  
• Look into the safety and convenience of parking spaces, ensuring that you and your clients will have no problem leaving their cars while they conduct business with you.
  
• Check nearby amenities that will further enhance office convenience. These include nearby restaurants, cafes, and even childcare facilities.
  
  

Space Requirements

A small office space may be all you need. With plenty of space-saving furniture options, you can definitely make it work. But the right space goes beyond what you think is sufficient.

• Think about how many people will be on your team and the equipment and furniture items each one needs.
  
• Consider the kind of environment you want to create in your office space. If you want to add personality to the furnishings that the office comes with, you may need to bring in your own stuff, which will require space.
  
• Take into account scalability, which will impact the lease contract. If your business expands earlier than the lease term and the space no longer aligns with your needs, you may need to break the lease so you can move to a bigger space.
  
• Don't overlook the importance of layout. It should efficiently support your specific operational workflow. Or, at least, can be customised to your unique business needs.
  
  

Amenities and Features

Given the cost of starting and operating a business, office rental is an overhead you should prepare for. It's important that the amount covers every expense involved.

• Make a list of all amenities and features necessary for your business operation. It covers high-speed Internet, lighting and ventilation, ergonomic chairs, and areas for meetings and conferences.
  
• Identify the inclusions and exclusions of the rental fee. Does it include utilities and parking fees, or do you need to pay separately to use the conference room as needed? Don’t forget the security deposit, maintenance fees, and the like.
  
• Check if the rental space is furnished, semi-furnished or not at all. Purchasing furniture items separately is an added expense.
  
  

Moreover, you should check that the office you're renting is in good condition right from the start and already equipped with the necessary utilities, such as internet, electrical outlets, phone lines, and other specific business requirements.

It's highly recommended that you start your search for an office rental from a reliable provider such as IW Office. With three strategic locations: Phrom Phong, Sukhumvit (Nana), and Sathorn, you’re sure to find an office space that will enhance your reputation and operational workflow.
