Finding a new office is not easy even when there are plenty around, and an office out in the sticks is fine for some, but is not so good if you need staff who live in the city and want to come to work by bus. So, if the office has to be in the city, and not in a converted barn somewhere, what is the best bet?
you could choose a city that has all the history of an industrial background, but is near beautiful countryside? Leeds is just such a city, being within easy reach of the countryside, yet owing to its beginnings in the industrial revolution has plenty of old buildings suitable for offices. It also has good road, rail and air transport.
Serviced or refurbished office
So, what type of office would you want? You could get either a serviced office or office refurbishment in Leeds. The good thing about a serviced office is that you and your employees just walk in and off you go.
Of course, you need to get your letterheads done, and all that stuff, but the state of the office and building is someone else’s job. You don’t have to consider whether you should get Leeds office maintenancepeople in to do some work. It is all the responsibility of the landlord.
On the other hand, serviced offices are more expensive than your own office, although in the current downturn you could find a bargain where the landlord wants tenant badly. If you are moving to a new city, this could be a good idea to get you started in the city of your choice, and then you would have time to look around and find a more permanent office – probably one that has been refurbished.
If you go for a refurbished office, you will have to find an office block, work out how the office will be used – studying workflow – and then arranging for the work to be done. That could be a long time, so although refurbishment is a great idea, it is best to take a serviced office for a short spell, and then move on to office refurbishment later.
