What do you suggest if I want to move to a secure location in Las Vegas because of some experiences with break-ins and/or vandalism?
When you are looking into getting a new office location, ask if what type of security they provide, if any (i.e. surveillance cameras, security guard, alarm system). Paying a little more for an office is worth it sometimes because the executive suite center provides some type of security system. Even though there is never a guarantee, it certainly is a deterrent.

I have concerns about identity theft, so why does an Executive Suite center need me to fill out a rental application with all my personal information on it?
You need to fill out an application and provide a copy of your identification because they want to know who they are leasing to. Remember, you will have access to their multi-million dollar building with their equipment so they have every right to ask for this information. You can refuse to provide information, but it sends a “red flag” to the center and they can refuse to lease to you. You are not necessarily wrong in not wanting to hand over your private and personal information. You can check out the center first and see if they are legitimate in Las Vegas. Call or go online to Clark County Business License or if they are in Henderson, call or go on line to City of Henderson Business License. Executive Suite centers have to be licensed to do business in the State of Nevada so you should feel comfortable with any licensed center.

Being new to Las Vegas and having a high profile business, how do I get my name out there with the limited budget I have right now?
Executive suites are a great way to go for anyone just getting started in business because they are all-inclusive at one low cost. Getting your own website would also be a plus so that the consumer knows your product and/or service exists. Most new businesses need to start small, so you might want to try a “virtual/corporate identity plan” or a “mail only address plan” first. You get a professional secretary/receptionist to answer your phone line, voice mail, premier Las Vegas business address and license hang, mail sorting into personal mailbox (mail forwarding upon request), ability to receive UPS and FedEx packages, use of computer kiosk with T-1 internet access and printer, access to conference rooms, and so much more! Once your business takes off, you can transition into a suite and you still have the same phone number and address.
ViewPointe Executive Suites provides all of these services. Check us out on the web at www.viewpointecenter.com

Why can’t I bring in my own phone system when I want to lease an executive suite?
Think of it this way – the executive suites are turnkey and ready to move into. Because they provide the phone system, numbers, instruments, voice mail, etc., they can have you in business immediately for an affordable price. Keeping your existing phone numbers is possible, you just need to remote call forward them through your local carrier to the number assigned to your business. Also, since you are using their system, you will need to use their long distance too (unless you call from your cell phone or use a phone card). Are executive suites trying to make money? Of course, just like any other business, executive suites charge for their services, but remember, they are there to help your business succeed. If you want a professionally run executive suite and you are ready to be in business, then an executive suite center is the right choice for you. If you are looking for a small space that allows you to bring in your own lines and/or do your own thing, then you will need to explore those options in a different way.

How should I start “restructuring” my business if I need to get started fast with a short term lease in a Las Vegas Executive Suite?
Since executive suites are designed for the short term lease with all the amenities, the first step is to type Las Vegas Executive Suites into your search engine and review a few of the executive suite centers and what they include with their leases. 3 or 4 choices is standard to start with. Once you have reviewed your choices, go take a look at the suites to determine if they are in a good location and how they operate. Most centers will offer a 3 month minimum lease term and if you sign a longer lease, like 6 months or one year, some offer a rental discount or even free rent. They can set you up immediately and you can get your business under way. If you decide that everything is going great and you need to expand, you can take another suite or look into the traditional space option. Keep in mind that executive suites save you all of that overhead cost because they provide the receptionist, phone system, internet, conference rooms, and much more!

I’m having a problem at my Las Vegas Executive Suite, what is the best way to handle this if I don’t want to move?
The best way is to contact either the Leasing Manager or Facilities Manager and address the situation as soon as possible.If you let it fester, you will become miserable and your request may come off as disrespectful and “heated” instead of businesslike. The center is there to assist you with your business needs and most executive suite centers have on-site staff who are prompt in attending to those needs. So don’t be afraid to ask for help! If it’s an after hours emergency, centers will display an emergency number on the front door, so call the number for assistance. If this gets you nowhere, you can write a letter demanding that any issues be addressed immediately so that you have proof in writing that you asked for help. Hopefully this step will not be necessary!

I have heard “horror stories” about centers leasing you an office, then after the initial lease term, raising or doubling your rents, but I really want to get a Las Vegas Executive Suite. How do I protect my business interests without moving from location to location?
You see a great ad for a luxury executive suite for say only “$650 per month for a 3 month and no security deposit — move in now!”. Wow! you go visit the center and it looks great and it is what they say it is, everything seems to be in line and before you know it, you have signed a 3 month lease and everything is great and you are doing well, then all of a sudden you get a notice that your rent will increase to $900 per month after the initial 3 month period (sometimes it is even “hidden” in the lease).
You need to make sure you are “protected”. You want to make sure of some things before signing any lease. First, ask them if the rent will increase after the initial term and if so, how much. Most centers do an annual increase of say $35 to $50 per month or so, but some centers do an increase after the intial term of 3 month or 6 months and sometimes it can be hundreds! You can ask them to put a rental “cap” on your lease agreement (most centers will do this), but if they do not, then you have to ask yourself if it’s worth doing business there. Also if you feel comfortable enough, do a longer term lease like 6 months or 1 year and you will be locked into that great rate for a longer period. You can always negotiate a renewal, but do so before you sign anything!
Some “corporate or nationally owned” executive suites will think nothing of selling their center and the new Landlord will usually want to make money and will increase the rents. Although this is not a smart business move on their part and they stand to lose tenants, they will expect a certain return for their investment. It actually might be a good idea to look into doing business with a privately owned center. Ask the management pertinent questions about the lease, rents and terms and you will not be disappointed.

Las Vegas Executive Suites – are they worth looking into?
They are always a good idea for businesses, if you are either downsizing from large traditional space or upsizing from a home office or virtual service. Executive suites are an affordable solution for many businesses because they are all inclusive. Without having to hire a receptionist, purchase a phone system, sign up for internet service, set up utilities or hire a sign company, you are in business immediately for one affordable monthly rental payment. Also, you don’t have to sign a long term lease and the professional staff is always available to help you with your needs.
