How to Choose a Suitable Office Rental Location?
The company’s address affects not only the rent and commute time but also the impression clients or partners have of the company and the related business interactions. In other words, if the company’s address is poorly chosen, employees may be reluctant to work there, and clients may have a negative impression even before stepping into the
meeting room.
Therefore, before choosing an office rental location, we need to consider the following questions:
● What industry does your company belong to?
● What are your clients mostly interested in?
● What expectations do your partners have of you?
● Where are most companies with similar nature to yours located?
For instance, if you are engaged in clerical businesses such as accounting, finance, or consulting, Admiralty, which is close to government offices, is an ideal location. If your business leans towards the arts, Sheung Wan is a good choice, as it is within walking distance to many galleries and boutique coffee shops. If you are running a law firm or other highly specialized industries, Central and Causeway Bay are prime choices for establishing a high-end brand image, as these areas are home to many banks, investment banks, asset management companies, recruitment firms, and boutique shops.
Apart from the regional selection, the surrounding facilities of an ideal office location are also crucial. A good office address should meet the following conditions:
◆ Convenient living, with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores, and shopping malls nearby;
◆ Well-developed transportation facilities, close to metro, bus, and other public transport networks, making it easy for employees and clients to travel;
◆ Suitable surrounding environment, neither too noisy nor too remote and deserted;
◆ Comprehensive infrastructure, ensuring smooth telephone communication and wireless network; convenient parking to meet the needs of clients who drive.
Hong Kong Island, as a long-established commercial hub, hosts many well-known enterprises; Kowloon also houses many important companies, especially those with close business ties to the mainland. Tsim Sha Tsui, as one of the popular office locations in Kowloon, boasts prosperous commercial activities and an extensive transportation network, making it easy to reach other areas by metro, taxi, or bus.
Finally, after selecting a suitable address, it is necessary to further examine the internal facilities of the office building. An ideal office building undoubtedly has convenient access, complete with barrier-free facilities; flexible opening hours to meet the needs of different work schedules; well-equipped hardware facilities, including wireless network, restrooms, air conditioning, and business lounges; and a certain degree of expansion potential, allowing for more space rental as the business grows.
