Does your company have a desk, cubicle, office or suite that is generating dust as opposed to revenue? Have you recently downsized your workforce resulting in an abundance of unused office space? Is your company locked into a long term lease and could benefit from an additional revenue stream?
In today's economy, many companies are downsizing their workforce, resulting in a growing inventory of unused commercial space. At the same time, a large number of entrepreneurs and small businesses are looking to reduce their overhead by re-negotiating their existing commercial leases, or finding new space altogether.
Open Office Space, based in New York City, has launched a new website to facilitate the interaction between companies burdened with carrying the cost of their unused office space and small businesses/entrepreneurs looking to streamline their expenses.
A shared space is the perfect solution for a small business or entrepreneur looking to cut costs while providing a revenue stream to a space holder when they can use it the most.
Openofficespace.com was designed with ease of use as the number one priority. "We set out to create an extremely clean and user friendly experience that is unlike any other typical real estate or classified website”.
The comprehensive “Evolving Guide to Leasing” alone is worth a visit to the site. The interactive guide explores the “Top 10 Mistakes” made by companies during the leasing process and outlines in laymen's terms “The 4 Steps” it takes to be successful. From finding the right space and negotiating the lease, to planning the layout and creating an eco-friendly work place, the site's powerful interactive tools and easily understandable content simplifies the leasing process for everyone involved.
One of the most common mistakes made during the leasing process is estimating how much space your business will actually need. Getting too much means unnecessary additional costs while too little means growing out of it before you are ready to move. For entrepreneurs and small businesses that are unsure of how much space they actually need, the space estimation tool can be used to calculate the right amount of square footage based on a company's specific requirements. With options ranging from a single desk, a cubicle, a shared office, a private office, to a co-working space or an executive suite, the calculator and check list take visitors through the entire process.
Once a company understands the amount of space they need, the space planning/floor plan tool can be used to lay out the entire space by dragging and dropping furniture directly onto the plan. It's a lot easier to arrange furniture on paper than to be surprised when the moving van arrives. It is a great tool to determine where phones, computers, printers and copiers go so network people can follow a clear set of plans, saving more money and valuable time. Floor plans including furniture layouts can be saved, printed or shared with friends and colleagues or even posted on other property listing sites.
“It is an excellent resource, not only in this economy, but in any economy, for small businesses with limited budgets, looking to create the ideal working environment," said Spector.
