Calculating How Much Space Your Business Needs

February 4, 2011 Leave a comment

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.

Boise Valley Retail Space Available For Lease

Are you planning to rent or lease retail space in the greater Boise Valley for your business? It is not always easy trying to find the ideal retail space, and there are a lot of options available such as, general retail, free standing retail, regional malls, specialty centers, community centers, and many more. It is essential to find a retail space that you’re your business needs, and remember, a store can become the foundation for the future development of your business.

Finding a good retail space in the Boise Valley can be easy if you follow these simple steps:

  • Find out why the previous tenant left the space. If the previous tenant has left the space for the lack of customers, then you might face the same problem. Also, check the transport system near the retail location. If the customers can’t commute to your store then it’s certainly not a good place to invest.
  • Study your target audience carefully. Study their requirements. Do they live near the office space you are planning to buy? Where do they go to shop? Studying these points carefully will help you to know the psychology of your customers. Also, if you see that there are no residential areas nearby, don’t buy the space. You can search in the census bureau or chamber of commerce to find the most suitable place for your business.
  • Before you buy retail space in commercial area you should study your competitors’ location. Make sure that you’re not going to face losses due to a rival store that is near to you. It is no use opening a retail store in a place that has a large number of competitors. It would take a long time for you to establish yourself in the market.
  • Check out all the costs while leasing a retail space. Do you have to pay for the maintenance and repairs? How much do you have to pay to decorate the retail space? Some landlords may ask you to pay a percentage of your sales along with your rental fee. It’s better to know all these details before you make the investment. A cheaper deal may sound attractive to you but that doesn’t mean it is the best decision until you have all of the facts.

If you are looking for retail space in the Boise Valley then contact The Sundance Company and we can walk you through the process of procuring a great location for your business. Established in 1976, The Sundance Company has more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial real estate available in prime locations throughout the Valley including Boise, Meridian, and Nampa so contact us today to see how we can help you find the right space for your company.

Boise Commercial Real Estate Terms You Need to Know

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.
