It’s important to realise that businesses grow in stages and what you need now may not be what you need later. It can be nice to imagine that you’ll need an entire building’s worth of office spaces, but it’s not feasible to buy a building now. Renting can help your business grow though most people don’t know how.
Add-Ons
Sometimes, you’ll be in a building with other offices. If you decide you need more room, you may be able to rent out another space in addition to yours. This can help you grow and expand without leaving the area. Keep in mind that some buildings won’t allow this or can’t allow it, because every place else is full. Therefore, you’ll need to ask if you can rent more space as it’s needed.
Relocations
Most people dream that their business grows exponentially, causing them to relocate to a larger area. This is certainly understandable, but if you look too far beyond where you are now, you may miss the opportunity to even have the company. You need to focus on the here-and-now and worry about relocating later. When you do decide that your firm needs to be bigger, you can always hang a sign that says “moving to new location”. Don’t think that customers won’t follow, because if you’ve built up a loyal clientele, they will come.
Unknown
Most people rent space because they aren’t sure of what’s going to happen. The unknown can be a scary prospect because you have no idea what’s going to happen. You may decide to scrap the business because it didn’t work out, or you may choose to take some time off. Some entrepreneurs realise that merging with another company could be the best option for everyone involved. No matter what happens in the future, you’ll be in a rental space, so you won’t have to worry about selling a building you can no longer afford. You will also not have to worry about paying for a long-term lease if you choose a short-term rental agreement.
Maintenance
One of the biggest problems new business owners face is that they cannot grow their company because the maintenance of the building takes too much work. Things will always go wrong, such as busted pipes, problematic toilets and faulty heating/cooling. If you rent office spaces from someone else, they handle the maintenance and upkeep of the building, allowing you more freedom to grow the company.
