Office space should support the next stage of a business without depending on a single optimistic growth forecast. Layout flexibility and contract obligations need to be considered together.
Describe several team sizes
Check how the premises would work with the present team, a modest expansion and a smaller operation. Review meeting space, storage and services alongside desk capacity.
Consider the transition
Establish the work, approvals and time needed to occupy, and the obligations if circumstances change. Compare those requirements with the lease terms. A larger office is not automatically better preparation for growth if it creates an unsustainable cost base.
