Questions

WILL THE SPACE BE USED AS A
RECRUITMENT TOOL?

- What image is the space projecting to
prospective employees?
- Younger employees may prefer to be
in the middle of city life, while more
seasoned workers may prefer a quieter
environment

Is the Space conducive to working
relationships?
- How do you envision the layout
- Ideally there will be accommodations for
3 – 4 people working on the same talk,
a central conference room for formal
meetings and internal community space
for informal gatherings

Start-up Companies to Ponder
HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED TODAY
VS HOW MUCH YOU NEED IN THE FUTURE
DOES THE SPACE PROVIDE
CONVENIENT ACCESS TO AMENITIES?
- Does it provide access to
eateries/convenience amenities
without excess travel?

- Who will be working on the office and
how often
- How flexible is the lease and can a
longer accommodation be negotiated
based on growth and contraction
