Summer is a great time to consider starting a new business, changing jobs, or even looking for new premises to enhance your company’s position or open new branches. The holiday period makes it easier to have more free time to think, plan, and explore new goals and perspectives for the months ahead, especially in September. If that’s your case and, you’re looking for an office to launch a new project or to relocate your business, renting a private office is a key step for any professional or company. Whether you’re starting from scratch or in the midst of a growth phase, choosing the right workspace can directly influence your productivity, your image, and even your sales.
To help you decide which option is best for you, we’ve put together a guide with the main aspects you should take into account before taking the leap.
- Strategic location
Although it might seem obvious, not all offices are well located or connected. A good location should combine accessibility, nearby services, and solid links to major roads or public transport. In our case, at SC Trade Center, we offer fully equipped offices in both Sant Cugat and Rubi, two well-connected cities known for their business dynamism. They provide access to all kinds of services and are easily reachable, both for you and for your clients and collaborators.
2. What’s included in the price
Many offices spaces advertise attractive rates, but then add extra charges for electricity, cleaning, Wi-Fi, maintenance… and by the end of the month, the bill is higher than expected. Before singing any contract, make sure the monthly fee includes all essential services, such as utilities, internet connection, climate control, cleaning, and access and security. In short, a truly all-inclusive office saves you from unpleasant surprises and allows you to plan your monthly expenses more effectively.
3. Flexible contracts
Business evolve, grow, and need to adapt to changing market conditions. That’s why it’s important to know whether a contract offers flexibility or not. You should ask yourself whether you can leave the office with reasonable notice, or whether it’s possible to change workspace within the same centre if you need more or less square metres. At SC Trade Center, we offer fully adaptable conditions to suit every need because we understand that businesses are not static.
4. Additional services available
A good private office should come with services that make your day-to-day easier. This includes:
- Meeting rooms that can be booked by the hour
- Reception service to handle calls and greet visitors
- Communal areas or break-out spaces for resting and socialising
- Virtual office services for those days when you’re working remotely
5. Image and professional environment
In any business, everything communicates, and that includes your office. When a client, collaborator or supplier visits your workspace, it should convey trust, order, and professionalism. A well-maintained environment, in a good location, with natural light, proper equipment, and a staffed reception adds credibility and value to your company.
6. Is there room to grow in the same centre?
Even if you start out on your own, within a few months you might need a larger space, an extra desk, or a room for interviews. Can the space where you begin grow with you and adapt to your evolving needs? Before signing, you need to make sure that when renting a private office, you’ll be able to follow your growth path without having to change address or relocate.
7. A team that becomes part of yours
When you work from a private office within a business centre like SC Trade Center, you’re not just renting a space, you’re joining a community. Having a friendly, responsive and professional reception and administrative team makes all the difference in your daily routine. Whether you’re receiving a package, welcoming a visitor, booking a room at the last minute or dealing with an admin task, the team at SC Trade Center will respond quickly and reliably.
We’re committed to personalised service, adapting to your needs and supporting you every step of the way from day one. Our goal isn’t just to provide office space, but to help you grow within a human, approachable and professional environment.
