Tuesday October 16, 2018

The right space is essential to the success of any company. For most businesses, facility cost is the largest expense outside of payroll or inventory.  But it doesn’t have to be your largest headache.  As long as you educate yourself and compare all of your options, you can find a good value in most markets.

It’s quite common for small business and entrepreneurs looking for space for the first time to make several key mistakes that can end up costing them significantly down the line and can even cripple their growth rate.  Doing things the wrong way leading up to signing on the dotted line can be devastating, especially for a young company or start up.
