Finding the right office can be a drag. You go out and look at 10 different offices and none of them are perfect for your business. Then you wait a bunch of time till your lease is up and you have to make a spur of the moment decision and move into something that you don’t really want.
I’ve been there and moved into several offices that were miserable for our company. One office we even moved out of and paid a huge fee to get out of our 4 year lease. Being in the right location is key to your business. Being located in Silicon Valley it gets a bit expensive so at times you have to give up a few things.
I recently got asked by the Huffington Post on what people need to look for when looking for office space. Here is what I told them:
