Since the pandemic, many businesses have gone completely remote. However, you and your employees might realize that not everyone is at their best productive selves when working from home. Therefore, it is important to accommodate those employees to get their full potential. Additionally, startups and small businesses can benefit from renting a space in a business center, since it can make them look more professional. Here are some things to consider before choosing a business center:
What Makes a Good Business Center?
One of the main objectives of choosing a business center is making sure that it fulfills most of what your business and employees need. One of the great aspects of business centers is that they often offer a variety of services, amenities, and spaces to help you and your employees. Therefore, it is important to understand how much space you will need, the business center’s location, the services offered, and the overall costs.
Location
A business center should be in a central location that allows your employees and clients to easily have access. Additionally, the location you choose should be accessible via public transportation and provide ample parking for everyone. When considering the location, you should also make sure that there are close-by amenities for staff to go to have lunch. Furthermore, the space and building need to look good and provide an inviting reception to professionally welcome clients. When looking into business centers, try to check if the common areas look clean and make sure to ask if they have cleaning services. No one wants a dirty and unorganized place to work in.
Space
If the business centers you have been looking into fit your expectations when it comes to their location, you should also consider the space itself. For this, you will need to figure out the size of the office you will need. . If you own a small business with less than 50 employees, you do not need a large space with more room than you need. However, if you are planning on expanding your organization in the future, you should look for a flexible space. When looking into business centers, try finding a space that gives your employees enough space to work and be productive and consider whether you want to expand in the future.
You could also survey your employees to see who would prefer to commute to a physical office and who thrives working from home. This will allow only the ones who need to commute to work to be in the office. Furthermore, if none of your employees prefer working from home, you can rent a virtual office. A virtual office rental gives you a professional address and a business front at a central location. Not to mention, this is one of the budget-friendly options. Many business centers provide boardrooms, mailing services, and in-person and virtual receptionists.
Amenities & Services
A business center can be in the perfect location and offer the right space for your company, but are the amenities and services fulfilling all your needs? If your employees want to bring lunch from home, do they have a kitchen to heat their food and talk about their work day? A business center should not be just meeting rooms and offices in a building.
Astra Business Centre offers fully furnished workspaces, free internet access, free cleaning services, a flexible lease, boardrooms, a kitchen common area, a virtual receptionist, mail handling, and 24/7 security. Other business centers can have other amenities that might be helpful to your organization. However, Astra’s services and amenities cover most of what an organization might need. Our newly renovated reception offers free coffee, and tenants can use the copy center for any last-minute printing.
Overall Costs
Life (and business) can’t be perfect. While you might’ve found the perfect business center, it could be costly. However, it is important to make sure that you find the right business center for your organization’s budget. Additionally, business centers often offer flexible terms so you don’t have to make too much of a commitment. Additionally, these spaces offer many services to help your company for a lower price than buying or renting a commercial building.
