There are arguments to be made for renting an office space. There are arguments to be made for renting an entire office suite or office building.

And, now, reasons why office space rentals might be the solution you need.
Why do you need office space?
Before you begin your search for an office rental, you really need to ask yourself this question: why do you need office space? Will you run your business from that office full-time, or are you on the road constantly and only need an office for a few hours per week? Is the office the professional face of your office, or do you work primarily out of your home in some home-based business? Will you have employees and, if so, will they be frequenting the office?
And how much office space do you really need? Are we talking about a desk for one, or are we talking about a reception room, reception desk, and multiple offices?
And, finally, how does your operating budget look? Can it handle leasing an office full-time?
The most obvious reason for renting office space vs an office suite
Without a doubt, the primary reason for renting office space rather than an office suite or office building is cost. Take, for example, the case of our own Paddock Place Office Suites. There you can rent an office space, a coworking space, for as low as $450 per month including utilities, WiFi, and a private mail drop. As you well know, it is impossible to rent an office suite or office building for $450 per month. It is highly-unlikely you can find one for $1,000 per month.
And, setting aside the monthly lease payment for a moment, you also have the secondary costs of insurance, signage, furniture and equipment, and other incidental costs, none of which you have when you simply rent an office space in a coworking environment. You quite literally save thousands by renting by the month rather than making a long-term commitment on an office building you may not even need.
See if an office space works for you before making a huge commitment
This, then, is our recommendation for anyone sitting on the fence regarding renting office space. Try the temporary solution to your problem for a few months. See if it works for you. You can do this without making any long-term commitment, and you will always have the option to rent full-time and go big if the coworking solution does not work for you.
