Your business is a lot like a family. It starts out small and gradually grows as you add special new additions to the team. And much like a growing family, a growing business may need to relocate to accommodate those new members. If your business is still in the initial growing phase, you not only have to find an office space, but you also have to pick which type of office space will be best for you and your team.
There are three main types of office spaces to choose from: Conventional, Shared, and Virtual or Remote. Each office type accommodates teams with specific needs and habits, but it can be challenging to figure out which office type fits your needs and habits. We went looking for some tips on how to find the right office space and stumbled upon this useful flowchart from Make It Cheaper.
