I can’ t stress enough that you must do your homework then decide what type of budget your business is going to have. The location and “class” of the building will decide how much you will pay, anywhere from $395 to $2,000 per month. If you want a receptionist to answer your phone, a furnished office with a balcony and/or view, free internet, etc., you will be paying a higher rate. If you just need a small office don’t need any services or high-end location, then you will pay a whole lot less. Make sure you have a list of your needs, what location you want to be in and what amenities you must have for your business. When you start looking around, write everything down as you go to avoid any confusion – you might be surprised to find out that you can sometimes have luxury, Class “A” space for the same price as a less desirable office and everything is still included! Remember to ask a lot of questions and look at the surrounding area before you sign any agreement.
If an executive suite center does not have a website or they avoid directly answering your questions but have a deal that seems “too good to be true”, then it is probably not the right choice for you. An executive suite center will have a good website to look at and their status will usually be in the top 15 of any search engine list. They will be forthcoming and want your business and should always answer any questions with courtesy and honesty.
