If you are a first-time renter or just need a refresher on what factors to evaluate, we have outlined some suggestions.

Keep your employees in mind

In the case of moving buildings where employees will be expected to adjust their working location to, take into account what will be suitable for them. Even if you are opening a new location and preparing to hire new employees, you will want to make sure that the new area has potential workers in demand for jobs. Overall, it’s convenient to have an office building or brick-and-mortar store in a rather central location where traffic is not too bad and there are public transportation options available. However, if you are renting out a warehouse, these spaces are likely farther out of towns in more industrial areas, but you should still check that they are accessible enough. Furthermore, having a commercial space with limited or no parking options can also be an inconvenience. You can check for parking spaces close to the building in the Parking category, but depending on the size of your company and the expected number of daily customers, it may be better to find a property that already has parking included.

Go where your customers are

If you are opening up a local shop, retail space, restaurant, coffee shop, or something similar, you will need to think about the location in terms of where your customers are. When moving or starting your business you should prioritize finding the best location possible to turn a profit. It’s advisable to conduct some research beforehand, investigating the area, the demand for your product or service, and the competition. If you already have a solid customer base and are opening up a new location, you may be able to get some customers through word of mouth and advertising in your original shop. But if you are just starting out, thorough research is necessary to make sure your business not only stays afloat in the initial launch but turns a profit. Renting a store in a central location will likely have a high cost but with the potential to earn more foot traffic. You may even be able to spend less on advertising if the storefront is in a really popular spot. That said, suburban locations have their advantages as well. People in the neighbourhood may be happy to support a new local grocer rather than drive into the next town to hit a bigger supermarket.

Pick a fitting warehouse

If your business is in need of a storage room, factory, or production hall, look no further than the Warehouse for Rent category. If you have only a small production, renting often makes more sense than buying and you can even rent space within a larger shared warehouse. If your business is growing, it may make sense to find a small warehouse space with a flexible or short rental contract. This way you won’t be paying for more space than you need but you will have the option to expand when the time is right. Alternatively, you could work with a third-party logistics service to handle packaging and manage the supply chain. Compare all your options so you end up with the best price-to-value ratio for your business.
