3 Things to Keep In Mind When Expanding Your Business Space

As a small business grows, it often goes from a two-room working space to a multi-floor office premises. Many businesses also branch out and set up operations in different locations.

Planning on expanding your business space? Here are a few things to consider.

Decide Your Venue

The first thing you need to decide is where you’ll be setting up your business operations. For instance, will you be using office space next to or near your current location, or do you plan on using office space in a completely different area? Either way, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

·       Size: Is the space large enough for accommodating the number of employees you’ll have coming in and out of the premises on a regular basis? What may work for a team of 20 employees isn’t necessarily going to be a good fit for 50 employees. You don’t want your new business space to be cramped, so make sure it’s large enough to comfortably accommodate the number of employees that’ll be working there.

·       Commute & Parking: Does the venue offer sufficient parking? If not, is it easily accessible via public transport? You don’t want your business to be in a far-off neighborhood that’s difficult to locate or reach. Considering that your employees will be traveling to and from the premises every day, it should ideally be located in an area that doesn’t add three hours of commute to their schedule or makes parking a nuisance for them.

·       Accessibility: Does the venue provide increased accessibility for the employees?  For instance, is it disability-friendly and gender-inclusive?

Obtaining the Permits

Once you have shortlisted a venue, it’s time to get the permits for it. The laws and regulations for business permits vary from area to area. Make sure you have the required permits before you begin renovating or redesigning the space for your business needs. This will depend on the specific laws of your town, city, county, or state.

It’s best to get in touch with the local authorities before finalizing the details. This will help ensure that you’re not breaking any local rules and will inform you of any special requirements needed for conducting business from or making modifications to the available space.

Safety

Many event business owners tend to underestimate the importance of security. You can’t invest in a business space without accounting for the safety and security of your employees. The last thing you want is a security breach that would not only disturb business operations but would also threaten the lives of your team members.

Make sure you’ve addressed all security concerns well in advance. Consult a professional security service for this purpose, and have them arrange unarmed or armed security guards for your business premises. This will help ensure that you have enough security personnel to guard your space during and after work hours. You should also consider installing an alarm system for your premises.
