Is your business outgrowing your couch?

Know Your Needs

How much space do you need? Does your space need exposure in a Main Street type location or do you just need an office outside of your home?

What To Find Out

When looking at spaces, ask for rental amount, what’s included, the size, and price per square foot, which will help you compare the spaces you’re looking at.

After deciding on your space and being approved, you may be asked to pay a security deposit, first month’s rent, and last month’s rent, so have that money ready.

Understand Your Lease

Finally, review your lease carefully. How long is your lease? When and by how much will your rent increase? Also review building policies.
