JGM Properties, a property management company in Bloomington, MN, has today released information designed to help small businesses find Minnesota office space for rent. The information is geared towards those who are just setting up business and covers not just where to look for offices, but also what to look for. It is hoped that this information will help more small businesses in Minnesota succeed in their operations.

“Finding the right office is something that too few business owners think properly about,” says Eli Russell from JGM Properties. “Too often, they simply take whatever they can find without considering what it actually means to lease Minnesota office space. There are so many things that they should actually consider, but too many only think about budget and availability.”

The first tip that is provided for those looking for Minnesota office space for rent is that location is everything. An office location has to be befitting of the company itself, meeting the expectations of its customers. Additionally, it has to be located somewhere convenient for customers and business partners alike.

The second important tip is to think about the amount of space that is actually required. While companies, such as Amazon, Apple, HP, Google and Disney, started from someone’s garage, they couldn’t operate out of there anymore. The space that is needed has to suit current operations and it should also include at least a little bit of room for growth, so there is no need to relocate every time the business expands and requires more space.

“Businesses should always believe they will be successful and have a space that can accommodate that success,” adds Eli Russell. “Moving office space is time consuming and very expensive, particularly if you decided to lease Minnesota office space for a certain period of time and aren’t at the end of the period yet. Hence, it is better to find a space that can accommodate at least one period of growth.”

Once business managers have determined where they want to be based and how much space they need, they can start looking in earnest. Unfortunately, this is also where budget comes into play. Prime locations are highly desirable and, therefore, very expensive. However, by working together with a good property management service, businesses should be able to find something that is as close to their needs as possible. This may mean accepting an office a few blocks away from the preferred location, but certainly not miles away.

Availability seems to be an important issue to consider for most small business owners, but it actually isn’t. They are often made to feel lucky if something is available at all and therefore they accept it even if it is substandard. A good property management company has a large number of properties on file and should therefore never offer a location that doesn’t meet the requirements very closely.
