Office Space For Rent: A Reasonable Price

By Buster Bennett

Before you think about moving your business to another rented premises, or if you are thinking about moving a business that you started at home, which has now grown to the point that you need to rent office space, it is important to think about your business needs. You need to prioritise your needs and be clear about what you are looking for before you even begin the search for the right office to rent. Being clear and setting objectives will make the hunt easier and also shorter as there will be plenty of offices to rent you just need to make sure that you get the right one.

A lease is an agreement between the lessor (the owner of the mobile office that is being leased) and the lessee (the person or company to whom the lease is given), giving the lessee exclusive possession of the mobile office trailer for a fixed period of time in exchange for money (which is most often paid monthly). Some mobile office vendors offer a lease-to-purchase option that discounts the purchasing price of the mobile office trailer at the end of the lease.

Unlike leasing a mobile office, a mobile office rental is usually flexible. There is often no monetary penalty (or a very small one) for turning over the rented mobile office unit early. This allows for all sorts of unanticipated delays or changes in schedule. Also, unlike leasing, there is usually no option to buy the mobile office at the end of the rental period.

Does the building present a suitable scenario in which to meet your employees needs? Consider this, if you are a company with a number of employees who are required to be at your location each day, chances are these employees have structured their lives around the area where their job is located. Sure, many employees do not mind a long commute, but most workers get very comfortable with the amount of time it takes them to arrive and depart work each day.

Any special requirements you have. For example IT requirements again, you must think about this and put them down in a list of essential and non-essential. The likely hood of you finding an office to rent with all your IT requirements catered for is slim you may have to invest in upgrading what is already there or putting your own systems in.

No option to purchase. With leasing there is often an incentive to buy the unit when the lease agreement is up, but with a rental you usually don't have that option. If you don't think that purchasing a mobile office will best suit your needs, then perhaps you should consider a rental, as it is often less expensive.

Tax deductions. While leasing a mobile office is sometimes tax-deductible, depending on its structure, a rental is most often tax-deductible, which can mean more money for other aspects of your business!

Now that you know the differences between rental and leasing, you know what is the best for your business and for your. You have no more options
