Calculating How Much Space Your Business Needs

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.

Does Your Boise Valley Office Space Need Cubicles?

When setting up your new office space in the Boise Valley, deciding whether or not your office should go the cubicle route can be tricky.

On the positive side, cubicles do provide employees with barriers from noise and visual distractions in the office, allowing them to better concentrate on their work. Cubicles also offer a certain degree of privacy, along with the impression that each employee has his or her own dedicated workspace. Cubicles also offer more space for shelves and a convenient canvas for posting schedules and memos.

On the negative side, cubicles have been known to drastically decrease person-to-person communication in the office, leading to frequent complaints about isolation, depression, and low employee morale. Cubicles can also be rather ugly and uninspiring due to their generally bland color, and have been the subject of ridicule for quite some time now in comic strips and movies.

So when figuring out the best workspace configuration for your employees, the most important issue to consider might be, what do your employees actually do? If your employees spend the majority of their workday on the phone conversing with clients or the general public, going the cubicle route might make sense, as the enclosed space will provide them with the quiet they need to conduct a private conversation. If your employees spend the majority of their days typing away on computers and have little or no need to be on the telephone (or even talk amongst themselves), an open workspace plan might be a better approach.  Of course there are other factors to consider as well like aesthetics, company image, but this is just a little information to mull over when you are setting up or reconfiguring your Boise Valley office space.

Advantages to Leasing Boise Valley Office Space

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.

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.
