In principle, not every business needs an office at all: for example, if you are a hairdresser or make-up artist, you can provide appropriate services at home with clients. Many consultants and lawyers started by visiting their clients themselves. However, sooner or later, almost everyone needs to look for an office.

First of all, decide whether you need an office all the time or only at certain hours? In the latter case, you can use the new service - "office for an hour." Some real estate agencies rent offices in prestigious business centers in order to rent them for certain hours to everyone who may need them. Thus, if you need to negotiate with a client, you can rent such an office for several hours. The rental price of an office for one hour can be from 300 rubles. In such offices there is always unlimited Internet and telephone services, you can use the services of secretaries for an additional fee.

Those who need an office all the time will have to look for a room that is convenient for both themselves and customers. Here a lot depends on the specifics of the business. There is a tendency for some large companies to move beyond the MKAD, but this does not apply to all, many such companies remain within the boundaries of not only Moscow - within the Garden Ring. This is easy to explain, since it is more convenient for the client to come to the office of lawyers or auditors located on Tverskaya rather than somewhere in Krylatsky. Often, the convenience of the office decides a lot, because customers are in a hurry and just do not want to spend time on the road, even if the services of those companies that are far from the center are cheap.

Outside the Moscow Ring Road, not only those companies that cannot afford to rent a room in the center of Moscow leave. Sometimes it’s just convenient: if you are involved in warehousing or wholesale, you don’t need an office in the center, you will be more interested in being close to large stores that need your goods. In the same way, it will be more convenient for you to choose an office in a residential area if your business is connected with the activities of an organization located in the same area.

Offices for rent are engaged in many real estate agencies. As a rule, to find a suitable offer, it is enough to go to their sites - such as for example http://www.office.ru/ and others. On such sites, you can choose an office at an affordable price almost anywhere in the city. Of course, the agency will have to pay for the selection of a suitable option, but then you will be sure that they will offer you a really good and legally "clean" office, since it is unprofitable for specialists to spoil their reputation with poor-quality work.

note

When choosing an office, you must ask the landlord for the following documents about him:

-cadastral passport of the premises;

- an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions therewith (USRR).

If the landlord is not ready to give you these documents, you should think several times before concluding a lease with him. These documents contain information about the owner of the office, the possibility of using the premises specifically for the office, etc.
