3 Major items to consider when choosing an executive suite

What to consider when leasing a Las Vegas executive suite: LOCATION, SERVICES, COST. It is essential that your clients are able to find you easily, it is also important to note the services provided and the staff support — are they friendly and helpful, what are the amenities included with the rental? Finally, is the cost of the suite within your budget and are you getting what you pay for? (is it a nice, clean, secure place to do business). Some people will have more of a budget than others, but essentially most upscale offices will start at around $700 to $800 per month. In this market you can take advantage of move-in specials. Be aware of lease terms. If you need an extremely affordable solution, you might want to consider a virtual/corporate identity plan or mail only address plan.

Is there an economical way to do business in Las Vegas?

It depends on your need for “actual” office space or not. If you are working out of your home most of the time, but need a legitimate business address, the most economical package is a mail only address plan. For as little as $59 per month, you will have a premier Las Vegas mailing address, license posting, access to business machines, conference rooms, etc. If your business takes off, you can step up to an affordable executive suite. Executive suites themselves are economical because most centers are “all inclusive” and you don’t have to hire a secretary, pay for utilities and janitorial in addition to rent, and you can get a short term lease.  You have to look around though and see what centers are located near your home or in your projected business area and take a look at your budget to see what will work for you. If you don’t have a budget or your company pays the rent, then look for the best deal you can find which both yourself and your employer are comfortable.

Does having an executive suite that is “all inclusive” really help my business save money?

It depends. It’s nice and extremely convenient to have an office to just move right into without worrying about getting furniture, equipment, etc. Finding out what you are really receiving for your money and if it’s worth the monthly cost is where you need to start. The best way to do that is to look at some executive suite centers that do not include everything and break it down by services. Sometimes the all inclusive feature has services that you will never use or they charge a lot of overage for their furniture or phone answering. If it’s a difference of say $100 per month or less, it is probably worth it, but if you are talking hundreds of more dollars per month or per annum, then you need to reconsider your decision. Also always make sure that you will not receive a high rent increase after your initial term with any center.  Always ask if the manager can give you a cap rate or an option to renew at the same rate after the initial term. They will work something out with you  to keep your business.

My company wants a Southern Nevada address, but I’m leery about doing business in Las Vegas. Any ideas?

There are so many misconceptions about Las Vegas. People think that there are strip joints on every corner and people that live here all work in casinos and gamble every day. Las Vegas is a wonderful place to live and do business. Yes we have casinos, but we are also one of the top shopping meccas in the world and have thousands of wonderful restaurants and businesses OFF of the Las Vegas Strip. We have schools, parks, recreation, grocery stores, libraries, gyms and much more just like any other town in America. So don’t have to worry about doing business here; just contact the local Chamber of Commerce or the Nevada Development Authority and they would be more than happy to send you information about businesses in our Community!
