6 Tips To Find A Good Office Location

• How Do You Want To Use The Office Space?

Before you start searching for new locations to move to, consider how you want to use the new space. For example, you might be looking for a new location so you can create a large open plan area for your marketing team, or perhaps you want a new location where you can create private office spaces for your employees.

• Is The Location Convenient For Clients And Employees?

If you find a fantastic location with great office interiors, remember to consider the location of the new office environment.

It is very important that employees have easy access to the building. If many of your employees normally commute via train or bus, then your location would ideally be within walking distance of a local train station or bus stop. However,if a large amount of your employees commute via car, then your new location should have lots of parking space.

It is also important to consider any visiting clients. If your business accepts visits from current and potential clients, it is crucial that your business'new location is easy to access and has a list of easy to understand directions.

• Is There Room For Future Growth Within The Business?

In addition to having enough space for your current needs, you should also think about your business' future needs. Whilst it is impossible to predict the future with 100% accuracy, choosing an office location with some room for growth is very important.

This includes both room in the office environment for future employees and also a great office location for attracting new talent. For example, you might want to locate your business close to a university, or other places of higher learning.

• What First Impression Does The Office Space Provide?

When choosing your new place of work, it is very important that you consider what first impression the location provides.

When discussing first impressions, many people think about the business reception room and waiting area, however you should also consider the impact that other areas of your business' location could have on a visitor's first impression. For example, the outside of the building and the car park are also very important aspects of creating a good first impression.

However, this does not mean that having dedicated space for visitors is not important. If your business frequently receives lots of visitors, the waiting room is indeed a very important part of creating a good first impression.
