Why an Executive Suite?
Executive suites are designed for professional business people that want to move out of their home and into an office environment or if their company is downsizing from large traditional space. Most executive suites are turnkey. This means that pretty much all you need to bring is a laptop or pc and you can just “plug and go”. Also they are favorable because you don’t have to sign a long term lease; a lot of suites will do as little as a 3 month lease agreement so you can make sure this is the right choice for your business or if you only need it temporarily. It’s effective, affordable, convenient and a good choice for the smaller consumer.

In my existing Las Vegas Executive Suite I like my office, but I work at night and one of my “neighbors” makes a lot of noise. How do I go about solving this issue?
It’s important to want to have a good neighbor, but also be a good neighbor. Make sure the management knows about it and what type of noise it is. Does they work at night because their company projects make some noise and they don’t want to disturb other tenants during regular office hours? Maybe you are making loud phone calls and don’t realize it and they are compensating? Let the manager take care of it; some people have volatile personalities and it could escalate into a nasty situation if you let it get to you.

I’m handi-capable & need to lease a Las Vegas Executive Suite that has proper ADA requirements. Any suggestions?
You should look on the ADA website to see what the current requirements are met, most executive suite buildings do meet these standards because they were put in place long ago. Once this is done, look into suites that take this into consideration. Even though ViewPointe Executive Suites is not brand new, we meet the standard ADA requirements and welcome any handi-capable tenants to our buildings!

Is it a good idea to go into an older building when looking into the various Las Vegas Executive Suites that are available?
If a center is older it doesn’t mean it’s not a good choice. If the owner takes good care of the grounds and surrounding area, you don’t need to worry about having an office in there. Most offices that are 10 years and younger have fiber optic technology and capability and you can pretty much do just about anything you need for your business. Make sure to pay attention to the management and staff; if the center has been in business longer, they are more knowledgeable about executive suites and will take care of your business needs. Just do your homework, ask a lot of questions and get the best deal you can without compromising.

Do centers for Las Vegas Executive Suites ever take a hold deposit? I’ve found space, but don’t need it yet.
It depends on the center. If they are not full, they make be willing take a deposit to hold the suite. Most likely they run them as first come, first served and do not want to take the chance of missing out on a tenant that wants it immediately. If they do take a deposit, it would probably only be for a 30 day period and you would lose the money if you decide not to take the suite. If you really think you won’t find another suite to your liking, it might be a good idea to get it now so that you don’t lose it to another tenant, of course you have to weigh the pros and cons involving pricing, your budget, and whether you can handle making a payment for two months until you are “ready for business”. You may also ask them if you sign a longer term lease will they offer a free month’s rent. In this regard you would only have to come up with one month’s rent until you are ready.

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.

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.
