Every venture needs an office or desk space and it doesn’t matter if you’re just starting a business or expanding an existing one either. While some of us can work quite happily at home, for others the need to go out to a ‘proper’ office or a desire to grow a business often means that we have to look on the open market for a place to set up shop.
Thankfully there are now many different options when it comes to office space. Although the global recession has hit many businesses hard, it has also meant there can be some great deals out there for people keen to find themselves somewhere to work.
What are the options?
You’ll find that there is an increasing array of options open to the business owner, with everything from single desk spaces in office blocks through to whole floors available for great prices. Much of this is to do with the large-scale availability of workplace areas.
Many existing businesses are seeing their dead space as a needless drain on finances. As a result, a whole new industry has emerged as this office space is being marketed for rent on the internet. A comparison style website such as Office Genie is just such a location and allows you to browse for all manner of desk or office space in mere minutes.
How does it work?
The concept is essentially a very simple one in that businesses advertise the sort of space that they have available and you browse what’s on offer. The powerful search facility means that you can pinpoint a desk or vacant office space in your very own locale, or an area that you’re thinking of expanding into.
What are the benefits?
Using a desk or office space comparison website such as this can make the often arduous process for finding a new business location wonderfully simple and straightforward. It can also prove to be a great money saving exercise too, because you can instantly get an overview of the sort of prices that are being asked in the vicinity that you’re looking at.
What’s more, the benefits of finding a desk or office space in this manner means that you can choose to situate your business venture in the location that will most benefit its growth. Many places advertised are either in key city or town locations or on fancy business parks that not only have all of the amenities close to hand, but also come complete with a respectable business address.
If you’re starting out in business then one of the major hurdles to overcome is proving to potential clients and customers that your venture is a good one. So, by searching out the right sort of location for your company and having the benefit of a decent postcode can mean that you’ll instantly come across as legitimate and desirable to do business with.

I run a small business from my home as an independent contractor for different companies, and I spend many hours at my desk in front of my computer. I found it vital to organize my office space to optimize efficiency but am limited by space. I was able to research different sites that gave great tips on how to utilize tiny spaces (like mine, converted from an extra closet!). I did find it imperative, however, to make the most use of my filing space by implementing some of the available custom file folders and filing system suggestions through Pendaflex’s organization advisor.
Now my office space is attractive as well as efficient, and I can make the most use of my time without the frustration of disorganization.
