What To Look For In Office Rental

This scenario plays out across America each and every day: you find that you will have long term business in a big city such as New York or Chicago, but your home base is in Las Vegas. You don't need to move all your facilities on a temporary basis, but you do need to have a reliable office space to call home during the months ahead. When considering office rental, here are essential qualities to look for that will make your temporary situation pleasant, efficient, and profitable.

You should be able to walk in the door and get to work right away. A rental office should come furnished with executive-level offices that provide all the amenities you need. Nothing is more discouraging than being put in a position of having to receive clients in a subpar facility. The office should be in a reputable if not prestigious part of town, should have quality furnishings, and be ready and accessible when you are any hour of the day and any day of the week.

-- An exceptional rental company will not only provide the facilities you need, it will also have built-in staff that is ready and willing to handle receptionist duties, as well as perform phone answering, clerical, and mail handling duties.

-- A business cannot be run effectively without having basic communications systems in place. Look for an office rental that comes with copy, fax, and printing services; it should also provide high speed internet access and offer telecommunications packages for you to choose from.

-- Because you won't have the time or want the bother of cleaning, janitorial service should be available as well as any other maintenance services that may be required. Security alarms and/or guards or other type of systems should be in place so that you never have to worry about the office space at night.

-- Conference rooms should be available from the rental company on-site or on request if they are needed. They should provide everything you need audio-visually to make professional presentations and hold meetings just like you would in your home office.

In short, your office rental should truly feel like a home away from home and should be a place where you can do business and receive clients confidently, knowing that your temporary facilities are helping you to maintain a professional image away from home base. You don't have to sacrifice your high standards when doing extended business out of town, just be sure to do your homework and select a turn-key committed rental company that will provide you with the very best.
