Know How to Assess Property
You've narrowed your search from thousands down to 10-15 that you want to tour. The checklist will help you in the decision making process, but here are a few extra things to consider.
- The demographic of your employees. Are most students who live in the city? Or do most live in suburbs? You'll need to poll your employees.
- What will traffic (car or foot) be like during your morning and evening commutes? Free traffic data is available at your local department of transportation or economic board or chamber of commerce.
- What would it take to move our business to this location? Some locations may be a more natural fit with your business than others.
- What are the costs, timing, and responsibilities of buildouts or changes? Get two to three quotes before negotiating anything and make sure to follow the buildout checklist.
