Hardware Reference
In-Depth Information
allow a large sign to go out in front and it was on a deadend street, so I contemplated the
use of such a building.
It did, however, have a large roll-up door in the back that I envisioned being used by the
pickup and delivery trucks, two premade offices, two bathrooms, a small kitchen area, and
a larger warehouse area that had a concrete floor to help me with me ESD issues. I could
envision technician benches lining the walls, bright lights, and having the ability to receive
walk-in foot traffic in the very large reception area. On top of all of that, the rent was cheap
in comparison to a retail space. In fact, it was about 80 percent less than a retail spot, it had
a shorter lease, water and garbage were included in the price, and it was about eight miles
from my home, which was a lucky break.
My goal was to move into a commercial space within six months of starting my business;
I did it in two. Once I zeroed in on my new space and signed my lease, I was able to buy a
used desk, slide it into one of the offices and begin setting up my business so that I could
have customers visit me at my commercial (professional) location.
Consider Your Future Location
I've now been with the same landlord for over five years. I have expanded my light indus-
trial office space by leasing the units to the right and left of my original space. With a little
build-out, imagination, and luck, I've been able to grow my business while expanding its
real estate footprint with the help of my modular building. Consider the future when you're
looking at leasing a unit for your business. Is there room to grow? Will you need to move
in a year?
my landlord and I have a fantastic relationship and I have proven that I can be a good, re-
liable tenant. This relationship is a great building block for my business as I can use the
landlord as a good reference, and we are both willing to work together, assisting each other
any way we can, to ensure we each have a long-term successful business.
Is there building ownership in the future for me? I'm sure there is, but right now my busi-
ness is benefiting from renting as we continue to grow.
