A newly prepared business space opening onto a city street.

YOUR NEXT BUSINESS ADDRESS

There’s more to a space than the rent.

Use amounts quoted by the landlord or suppliers. These are not property market prices. Avoid counting a deposit twice if it is already included in the upfront payment.

  1. Get the costs in writing.

    Ask about rent, the deposit, what is included and what is charged separately.

  2. List what you need to open.

    Equipment, opening stock, fitting out the space and other confirmed costs.

  3. Leave room to keep operating.

    Include an operating reserve while your business gets established.
