When your business is considering a move, or just starting out, you need to plan carefully when you calculate how much space you will need. Either too much or too little can have a dramatic impact on your bottom line, but there are some techniques you can use to determine exactly how much space you need. First, you need to assess your current situation, and then decide what are your expectations for the growth of your business over the next few years by considering the following questions:

• How many people do I currently employ?
• Does each employee need an individual desk or is sharing possible?
• Do I expect to add any staff in the next couple of years?
• Over what period of time will I add the staff?
• What kind of staff will I be adding, executive, administrative, or sales?

In general, the amount of office space you need is estimated according to head count and your industry type. The customary range for office space is 150-350 square feet (SF) per person employed. It is the type of space you need to accommodate your business that plays a large part in narrowing that range.

At the lower end of the range is the open space plan, which has no private offices. Call centers and sales offices generally use this configuration and have desks or workstations grouped together. At the high end of the range is the traditional hard-wall or private office layout. Law offices, for example, almost all have private offices, large conference rooms, and support rooms such as libraries, kitchens and file rooms. But, for your foray into the office hunt, the general approach of using 250 square feet per person to estimate the amount of space you will occupy is a great place to begin.

It may not be a question as old as time, but some business owners and entrepreneurs in the Boise Valley struggle with the decision if they should buy or lease their office space. Statistics show that most new business owners start out by leasing office space, and many business consultants advise leasing your work space until you get on your feet and your business starts operating in the black. There are also some other advantages to leasing your business property in the Boise Valley:

• Flexibility. One obvious advantage to leasing property is the flexibility it provides. When the lease is up, you can easily relocate to another office that better suits the needs of your business and your budget.
• Fewer responsibilities. The property manager or landlord is the one responsible for maintenance, security, remodeling, and other management issues.
• No mortgage. Not being locked into a mortgage loan allows you to free up cash and put it where it is needed, which is especially helpful for new business owners.
• Negotiable rates. If real estate properties in your area are plentiful, it may be possible to negotiate a lower price on your lease amount.
• Less tax paperwork. If your business is leasing office space, your income tax return will be simpler to file, compared to the endless forms that building owners must fill out.
• No down payment. When you purchase a building, you typically pay 20 to 25 percent of the price as a down payment and then mortgage the balance. When you lease office space, you need only pay one or two months of the lease value before moving in, which can be a real blessing for cash-strapped small business owners.

A recent story in The Idaho Statesman discussed how tough economic times in the Treasure Valley are producing an intriguing by-product in the leasing of commercial buildings: free rent.

The Sundance Company was one of the first commercial real estate companies in the Boise Valley to realize how difficult the economy was on some of the local businesses and that is why they introduced their “Exchange of Business or Trade Services” for lease space program at the beginning of 2010.

The Sundance Company recognized the hard economic times, and also the importance of business relationships. So they worked with firms that had a need for retail, office, or industrial space in the Boise Valley, and with over 1.5 million square feet of space available for lease, The Sundance Company can meet most the needs of most businesses.

When buying or leasing office, retail, or industrial space for your business you should be familiar with some common real estate terms to help make the process as seamless as possible. Besides the terminology, another consideration should be the person you work with to identify real estate opportunities and bring the deal together. Make sure that you find the right real estate professional like The Sundance Company to guide you through the process and help you find the kind of property you need for your business in the Boise Valley including Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell.

1. Appraisal: a written report by a state-licensed professional that includes an unbiased analysis of the property’s value and the reasoning that led to that opinion. An appraisal report is required for any property sale.
2. Broker: an agent who brings together a buyer and a seller, or a landlord and a tenant, in a real estate transaction. All brokers must be licensed by the state in which they work. Most work on commission, and the landlord or seller usually pays the fee.
3. Build-to-suit: a method of leasing property in which the landlord makes improvements to a space based on the tenant’s specifications. The cost of construction is generally factored into the lease terms. Most build-to-suit provisions apply to long-term (10-year) leases.
4. Concessions: benefits or discounts given by the seller or landlord of a property to help close a sale or lease. Common concessions include absorption of moving expenses, space remodeling, or upgrades (also called “build-outs”), and reduced rent for the initial term of the lease.
5. Escalation clause: a clause in a lease that allows the landlord to increase rent in the future. Rent increases dictated under an escalation clause may be charged in various ways, including:

• A fixed increase over a definite period
• A cost-of-living increase tied to a government index, such as the tax rate
• An increase directly related to increases in operating the property

1. HVAC: an acronym for “heating-ventilation-air-conditioning” system. In a commercial building, the landlord generally is responsible for maintaining the HVAC.
2. Lease: an agreement by which the owner of a property (the “lessor”) grants the right of possession to a tenant (the “lessee”) for a specific period of time (the “term”) for a predetermined amount of money (the “rent”). A “leasehold estate” is the space occupied by the tenant. Common types of leases include:

• A straight, or flat, lease, which stipulates that the same periodic payment (usually monthly) be made for the entire term of the lease.
• A percentage lease, which uses a percentage of the net or gross sales to determine the monthly rent. This is most often used in retail properties and with a minimum base rent.
• A net lease, which requires the tenant to pay maintenance, taxes, insurance and so on, along with a fixed rent. This is also called “net-net-net” or “triple net.”

1. Lien: a legal claim filed against a property for payment of a debt or obligation. If a property owner fails to pay a creditor, for example, the creditor can place a lien on the property. A lien can halt the sale of a property.
2. Sale-leaseback: a transaction in which an owner sells a property to an investor, who then leases the property back to the original owner under prearranged terms. Sale-leaseback deals offer the original owner freed-up capital and tax breaks and the investor a guaranteed return and appreciation.
3. Sublease: a lease given by a tenant for some or all of a rented property. For example, if a tenant rents 20,000 square feet but only ends up needing 10,000 square feet, they may want to sublet the extra space for some or all of the remaining term of the lease, providing they continue to occupy and pay rent for the property.
