What to Consider Before Renting?

Office space is not just somewhere to work. But it must be a functioning, inviting environment in which you look forward to going to each day.

Location

You know the saying “Location, location, location…” That is ever so true when it comes to renting an office space. It must be relatively close to home with a commute you are willing to put up with. Next, look at the neighbourhood, is it safe? Does it have the amenities you need? Take a walk around and get to know the area, who your neighbours are, what kind of businesses the area has etc…

Space Requirements

How much space will you need? Is it just you working alone? If you have a few employees working with you as well, you must be conscious of their space needs. No one likes to be crammed into a small office space. Unsure of your needs? We offer free tours that will answer any space-related questions you may have.

How Long?

How long is the contract on the office space? Does it match your business goals? If you are planning to expand, even more, make sure that the office building can accommodate you. Moving all your things from one building to another is a taxing process. This is something you do not want to do often.

Parking and Access

One of the most common complaints employees have is hard to find parking or hard to access buildings. Make sure that the office you choose has a free or low-cost parking option for you and your employees. At the DataTech Business Centre, we have free parking and lots of it!

Appearance

This is the place that you will be meeting clients and conducting your business. So make sure it looks good. Good-looking office space will help you attract business. Check out the condition of the building as well. You do not want any unexpected surprises that will interrupt your work. At DataTech, we pride ourselves on the professional appearance of all our offices and lobby.
