4、siness plan and offering stock options. You had to pitch your landlord the same way you did your venture capitalists. Landlords realized they could pick and choose tenants and interview them, rather than vice versa.Since the dot-com bust, however, that has changed drastically. The vacancy rate in Sa

5、n Francisco jumped from 2% in 2000 to 9% in 2001. Now, landlords are less picky and will often divide up floors of their buildings to suit smaller tenants.What Functions Does the space Need to severWhen deciding what purposes you need your office space to fill, think about your expected everyday act

6、ivities. For instance:Will you expect clients to Visit your office? Then you need a nice reception area, easy parking, product display areas, conference areas.Will those clients stay for extended periods of time? Then larger meeting rooms, audio/visual rooms, the impact and impressions that the rest

7、 of your office space will make on them. Should there be a closed-off area that clients visit?Will groups of your employees have regular project meetings? Think about having several small meeting rooms with white boards, computer hook-ups, overhead projection systems, etc.Will many of your employees

8、 travel extensively or telecommute? Think about setting up central, non-assigned workstations where anyone can plug in and do their work with access to e-mail, and voice mail.Will you need open spaces that will foster creative thinking and teamwork? Think about setting up separate areas where collab

9、orative efforts can easily be discussed and brainstormed without disturbing others.Will you have employees involved in phone negotiations, research study, and other tasks that require more quiet concentration?-Think about, private offices where more independent work and private discussions can take

10、place.Will you have employees or clients with sight or hearing impairments, physical challenges, etc.? -Think about, special accommodations for employees or clients with special needs.Will you need a break room? -Think about lunch room space, kitchen appliances, games and activities to relieve stres

12、duct lines you may not offer now, receiving large orders of supplies, etc.There are probably other uses for your office space, so make sure youve thoroughly thought through all of the activities you see being performed on a routine (and even a non-routine) basis and write them down. Your final selec

13、ted space should accommodate most if not all of those needs.So now you know the uses the space will have, but how much square footage should you look for? Lets go to the next session to find out how to estimate the size of office you need.How much space Is Enough space?If you know you need a physica

14、l space for your business, and you know what features you need in that space, then your next question is probably, “how much space do I need?“ According to Office F, in typical office scenarios, you can estimate 175-250 square feet per employee. If you know, however, that youll need a couple of larg

15、e executive offices then you need to estimate more square footage for those. Typical “presidential“ offices range from 150-400 square feet. Secretarial and administrative space, on the other hand, will range from 60-110 square feet.Dont forget about meeting room space. Conference rooms should allow

16、25-30 square feet per person for a traditional conference room arrangement. If youre using it in a classroom (or theatre) style setup you can estimate 15 square feet per person.Your reception area should accommodate your receptionist, as well as the average number of people you would expect to enter

17、 at any given time. If you expect to routinely have groups of 6-9 people arriving and waiting in your reception area, then make sure you have at least 300 square feet. For smaller groups of 3-5, you need at least 200 square feet.Other space requirements, like filing areas, library space, break rooms

18、, mail rooms, and general storage should not be left out either. The space requirements for these types of areas will vary depending on your use and needs.

20、fice for a majority of their time then set up non-assigned workstations. In most cases, designated office space is not necessary for employees who work from many locations. You can save tremendously on your square footage by using this type of system. It may mean that more filing cabinets, printers,

21、 etc. are necessary in employees homes, but youll still come out better in the long run.Losing the Terminology warRemember when I mentioned that you need to familiarize yourself with the commercial real estate lingo? Well heres why. When you ask to see properties of a certain size, what the agent wi

22、ll show you is usable space. But, usable space is just the space you actually occupy physically. It doesnt include the common areas such as the entrance hallway into the building, rest rooms, etc. The square footage these areas occupy is indicated as a percentage of the usable space, and if you add

23、the amount of square footage for this common area space to the usable space you are asking to see, youll get the rentable space WHICH IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY FOR. So, dont stroll around with the real estate agent while figuring the price in your head based on the amount of space you are asking for and

24、assume thats what youll pay, because its not. You have to pay for the common area space as well. Thats our first warning.Read the Fine printMake sure youve read every word of your lease before you sign it and negotiate with the landlord to reword any sections that are going to be unrealistically har

26、 to the property. Subletting restrictions. (Remember that you may not need all of the space you have leased, or you may be acquired by or merged with another company changing your legal ownership.)Restrictions on lease renewals.

You may be able to get the landlord to drop this.atch Your Bills!According to an article entitled “Commercial Real Estate“ by Ed E

28、riksen published at the Online Womens Business Center, your landlord may charge you for after hours increases in utility costs like heating and air conditioning. If you find this is the case, make sure you review the bill closely and make sure the electric rate you are charged is truly the rate for

29、that period of time. Typically, the after-hours rates are lower. Check with the local utility company to verify the charges before you pay. If you are entering a building that houses some much larger businesses than yours, also make sure youre not paying for some of their expenses. Landlords will of

30、ten have special deals arranged with large tenants that provide them with longer operating hours, which will in turn mean higher utility bills, higher security bills, etc. Make sure youre not paying for those services. Check the bills you receive from your landlord and make sure all of the expenses
