Office Space Miranda – Sutherland Shire Sydney

 
 
If you are a small business looking for your first office space in Sydney there are allot of costs to take into account, and if your a new business allot of risk. Here are some of the things to consider.
Lease Term
If your really lucky you might find a 12 month lease, but its more common to be asked for a 3 year lease. This gives you confidence in spending money on a fit out that your not going to be kicked out, but if your not yet sure if your going to survive 12 months, this could be a problem.
Outgoings
These are the costs for running the premises e.g. if there is a shared lift, maybe a cleaner for a carpark, common water etc make sure you ask what the outgoings are estimated to be commonly this is not advertised and added on top of the lease price e.g. for a $400/sqm it could be an extra $60/sqm on top. These can increase and decrease depending on the owners costs.
Fit Out
Commercial isn’t the same as residential where you move in and its all ready to go, commonly there are no internal walls to work with, concrete floors, possibly no ceiling either. So its up to you to invest $20,000 at least to finish off the fit out to meet your needs.
 

 
Office Size
Team sizes change in the first 3 years, well actually any growing business, so as you increase and decrease employees you might be paying too much for unused space or cramming people on top of each other as you hit the limits.
 
Internet
Fast internet for a team of people doesn’t come cheap, and the location of your office will determine what type of connection you can get, e.g. a 10mbps up by 10mbps down ethernet connection can cost upwards of $1000 per month with 24month terms plus installation costs.
Electricity
$1.80 per day + 35c per KW, expect at least $200 per month minimum
