Renting Office Space in Boise

Your business is ready to roll, and now you need to decide where you are going to begin your capitalist dreams. Renting your office space can be a wise option, and it may make financial sense as well as logistical sense.

Renting an office means that you get the space you need for the time that you need it. A one, two or three year lease, with an option to terminate at the end of each year allows for a high degree of flexibility in managing the space needs of your office.

Business success may mean you need more space. Business challenges may mean that you need less. The ability to react to changing business circumstances is important and renting your office space allows that.

Renting also does not tie you to a specific location. The ability to change the location of your office within the year is very important when your business is dynamic and ever changing. The office is part of a business’s image, and a change in location often leads to a positive change in image.

On the financial side, rent is 100% deductible in the year it is paid. Many business owners may see that as a disadvantage, but it is not. Tax planning should take into account management of taxes owed.

Buying an office, a building or some other type of owned space, means that the cost must be depreciated over many years. That cost may require 37 years of depreciation on the business’s taxes. The amount of depreciation may be smaller than the rent you might have paid, meaning that the business will pay more taxes by owning.

Owning also means that the maintenance and upkeep of the building is now your responsibility. Unless that happens to be the business that you are in, these duties and the costs involved are a distraction from the real purpose of the business. The owned office may actually require costs to the business that in a rental are part of the lessors cost. Is a new roof really how the business’s cash ought to be invested?

Owning also limits the business’s ability to expand, and places costs on a shrinking business that leasing does not. Adding on to owned property is costly, and paying for space you no longer have a need for is, also.

Renting your office space can be a wise option. It allows your business flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. It may provide tax advantages in some cases. It frees the business from having to pay for costs of ownership that do not directly benefit the success of the business.

Treasure Valley Office Space Checklist

So, you’re just starting a business in the Treasure Valley, and you’re finding yourself overwhelmed with the task of locating an office that will accommodate your needs without breaking your budget. Choosing office space can be complicated, because you’re counting on the amount of business you do to offset the costs of leasing the space and staffing it with employees. No matter which type of space you choose for your business, there are some considerations that you should always keep in mind on your quest to lease office space.

When you set out to find office space such as the Blackeagle Center in Boise or the Silverstone Corporate Plaza in Meridian, Idaho, it is important that you make a list of the most important aspects of the space before you talk to a leasing agent or even make a phone call in response to one classified advertisement. Essential to this list is that you keep in the back of your mind exactly what you need, not what you want to function. These needs include the actual amount of space you need to function, not feel like a corporate executive; the communications access that you need to stay in touch with your clients on a regular basis, like internet and commercial telephone services, and last, but not least, the realistic amount of money you have to spend on an office.

When you are looking to lease an office, the amount of actual square footage you need depends greatly on the type of business you are hoping to run. If you’re going to be running a clothing store or design studio, you will need more space than someone who is developing and running a web site or a consultancy.

If you have considered all of the office space that is available for lease around your geographical location and have determined that nothing is very well suited to your needs or to your budget, you might want to consider a executive suite office instead. These are typically single suites that are available within a professional office building. The benefits of executive office space include professional receptionist services, access to conference rooms, internet and phone services, and, in most cases, spaces that are already furnished with chairs, desks, and filing cabinets.

Please check out The Sundance Company website to view property photos, search for office space or learn more about Sundance’s start-to-finish capabilities. If you prefer to talk to someone in person about your commercial real estate needs, then just give us a call at our Boise office, (208) 322-7300.

How To Find The Right Office Space in The Treasure Valley

With a little extra time and effort, you can be assured of finding a great office location from The Sundance Company in the Treasure Valley that will serve your business well for years to come. With numerous office space locations in Boise or Meridian, Idaho, consider these tips to help you find the perfect spot.

Consider What You Need: You would think this would go without saying, but it is amazing how many business owners leap into an office contract after being mesmerized by the fancy foyer or the many amenities. Write down exactly what you need and take that list with you when you tour available spaces. If you have 10 employees, don’t rent space for 100. Unless you have concrete plans to expand to a larger or different operation in the future, rent only for your current needs. And don’t let yourself be talked into something you really don’t need. Nothing good can come of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when it comes to office space.

Make a Budget: Don’t over-extend yourself with a huge rental payment when you are considering the office space that is right for your business. Office space for rent can make or break your budget. Find an adequate space that is affordable and that fits well within your budget. You don’t want to over-extend yourself, and you can always upgrade later. And don’t forget to read the fine print. What costs and utilities are you expected to cover? Are there any hidden fees in the contract?

Plan for the Future: While you don’t want to agree to an office space rental agreement based upon hazy future plans, you do want to be prepared for changes you might need to make later on down the road as your business grows and expenses. Does your rental agreement allow you to remodel the office space or expand into empty, adjacent space? What if you need to terminate the agreement or want to upgrade to a larger office? Can that be done under your agreement or would hefty fees be involved to re-negotiate the lease? Work out those details now as you plan for the future of your business, and save headaches later for a great experience as you search for office space for rent.

Use these tips to find the right property for your business in the Treasure Valley. Then rest secure in the knowledge that you have made a smart business decision that will serve you well for years to come.

Office Space for Optimum Efficiency

Is your office space designed for optimum efficiency? Most of us spend the majority of our time cooped up in the office, which, more often that not is a small cubicle that doesn’t allow for privacy, space, creativity or inspiration. That’s why it’s important to personalize your workspace (or home away from home). Office space designs require a tremendous amount of thought and consideration. While there are many common approaches to designing office space, finding the right design that works for you and your employees could be the key to a successful business.

For instance, space plays a major role in efficiency. Think about the way a chef works in the kitchen. They have to be precise, quick and careful. In order to do this effectively, they have to have an organized mise en place, or space. A mise en place literally means “put in place” and refers to a chef’s station where they keep all of the items they need to prepare food. This triangular station allows them to stand in one spot, gather ingredients, pivot to one side and work at the stovetop.

The same concept can be applied to an office workstation. Here are some tips for office space design that can help you increase efficiency and quickness:

Open Office Space Designs
Many offices have converted to an open office space design to stimulate better communication among employees. There are, however, limits to what you can do to work spaces in an open office. The layout of office furniture becomes limited by the lack of office walls or cubicle partitions. When possible, choose to set up workstations in corner spaces so that each station has two walls. Then, use an L-shaped desk with a filing drawer to create a triangular space in which to work.

Private Office Space Designs
Some organizations find that by giving each employee a private office with a window, they increase morale and promote a sense of importance. In fact, the quality of this type of office design can have an impact on self-image, motivation and enthusiasm, creating an environment that raises productivity and efficiency. The downside to private offices is that they create a mentality that segregates employees as individuals. This lack of teamwork mindset can be solved with great design. By creating an “intersection” in the middle of the office where employees can meet, you can give your office a centralized feel that brings everyone together. This “intersection” can house things like fax and copy machines, message boards or work counters.

Designs with Floor to Ceiling Windows
Office designs with floor to ceiling windows provide a great amount of natural light and a tremendous view, but they can also pose some challenges for workspace layout. In this layout, desks are usually positioned on one wall, with a filing cabinet on the opposite wall. When possible, you should use utilize the wall space on the same wall as your door, or use an L-shaped desk to create a smaller workspace triangle.

Quite possibly the most crucial aspect of office space design is working with the right designer. Hire a good designer with whom you can freely share your opinions. Being able to point out the things you like and dislike will help the process more along more effectively. Plus, it allows both parties to be upfront with each other at all times, creating an environment where coordination and planning efforts are at their peak.

If your company is looking for office space that can provide your business with optimum efficiency, then contact The Sundance Company today. With more than 1.5 million square feet of office and industrial space available in prime Boise and Meridian locations, The Sundance Company has the experience to help you with your commercial real estate needs in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the greater Treasure Valley.

When is it time to relocate

The prospect of moving office locations can be filled with negative initial resistance, considering the disruption and important decision involved. However, it can typically be the right decision to make, especially in regards to a rougher-than-normal financial status that currently effects quite literally everyone involved in commerce at the present. So when is a good time to consider relocating a business? What are the options for relocation?

There are a variety of reasons for businesses to pick up and try a new location. A common reason is for expansion and outgrowth. Simply put, success may make an older office location too cramped and confining if a corporation plans to realize its fullest profit potential. Relocation during an expansion positively affects productivity, efficiency, staff morale, and most importantly financial status for a growing company. Somewhat related to expansion, the need for a better-suited location can also be an oft-cited reason for relocation. If a business needs a creative business district to thrive and attract new potential clients, its often worth the price to pick up and relocate–especially when continued revenue streams will prevent a company from going under during a threatening economic period.

Easy options exist for companies to relocate, thanks to serviced and managed office solution providers. Without the need to agree to lengthy leasing terms and high upfront fees, any organization that needs to relocate either temporarily or for a longer period can quickly ease into a new location with fully-furnished office equipment, services, and a flexible rental agreement should the new location prove untenable. Even expanding businesses will find serviced offices quite useful when exploiting the flexibility in leasing terms to add on to the company’s office space upon short notice, and such short-term office solutions really become a cureall for aiding any thriving business in navigating past the rough waters post-credit crunch.

If your company is ready to relocate, then contact The Sundance Company today. With more than 1.5 million square feet of office and industrial space available in prime Boise and Meridian locations, The Sundance Company has the experience to help you with your commercial real estate needs in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the greater Treasure Valley.

Finding The Right Commercial Real Estate Space For Your Business

There are several variables to consider and The Sundance Company offers a general summary of the leasing process. Please remember this is a general summary of the leasing process and the steps involved for your company can vary depending on a number of factors.

1. Identify Needs: Location, location, location. You have probably heard that phrase numerous times in the business world and the word location is might be the most-used word in real estate. Why? Location affects your visibility, the quality of your space and ultimately the long-term value of your business. Before you finalize your location in the greater Boise metropolitan area you need to answer a few questions: Where are our customers? Our market region? Our employees? Where is the competition located?

Cost: Your monthly rent will be determined by a few variables including location (Boise, Meridian, or Nampa), lease rate per square foot, free rent or other concessions provided by the owner, utilities and other costs if the lease is Triple Net, additional tenant improvements that are amortized into the rent, and annual rental increases as provided for in your lease.

Type of Space: The type of space you need is going to be determined by the type of product or service you provide. Is it industrial? Retail? Office? The Sundance Company has commercial real estate leasing options including industrial, retail, and office throughout the Treasure Valley so we can certainly find the right type of space for your company.
