An office, showroom and warehouse solve different business problems. Comparing their rent per square foot without an operational specification can produce a misleading shortlist.
Describe the work
Identify customer visits, storage, deliveries, equipment, loading and staff facilities. Check height, access, services and any special physical requirements. Ask which restrictions could prevent the intended activity.
Compare the complete premises
Include the work, approvals and time needed to operate. Confirm the unit-specific position with the authorised parties. An inexpensive space of the wrong type is not a useful alternative simply because it lies within the preferred area.
