Compare These Top Vendors for Shared Office Space

If your business is starting a short-term project and needs additional office and/or meeting space, you may want to consider looking into shared office space. These businesses offer private offices, team offices and receptionist/telephone access.

This type of shared office space is also ideal for small start-up businesses who don't have the funds necessary to lease and furnish their own office yet.

If your project is out of town, shared office space can be an affordable way of providing an office for your out-of-town employees. Your employees can work and meet with clients in the available meeting rooms. They offer short-term leases to their premises.

When working on a client project out of town, employees can work outside of the client site, so they get the privacy they desire. The meeting rooms offer an alternative to meeting in motel rooms or trying to schedule conference room time at the client's site.

Often located in major cities, these offices are centrally located, so getting to and from the client site is convenient. They also offer receptionist services, so your employees will not have to miss phone calls from your home office while they are out in the field.

How does your business get its products from your warehouse to your customers? Or are you needing to find a shipper to pick up raw materials for you? To get your products to the marketplace, or to receive the goods you need for production, your company needs to have a shipping strategy in place to be successful.

If your business ships products to other businesses, you may want to consider establishing a relationship with a distributor or reseller who already ships products to your business customers. Or you may want to consider operating your own enterprise, especially if deliveries are made just across town.

For manufacturing that results in direct-to-consumer sales, your company will need to find a company that can pick up your raw materials or components and deliver them to you. For sales to consumers, you should consider investing in shipping and rate software as a way to contain shipping costs. The typical shipping vendors you are likely to use (whether postal service, UPS or Federal Express) have competitive rates. If your packages exceed their weight restrictions, you'll have to look into vendors who offer the ability to ship freight. Vendors provide you with the added security of being able to track packages, so it is easier to determine if a shipment has been lost.

To prepare your products to be shipped, your company will need to purchase a weight scale and a label printer, as well as labels and other supplies to aid in your shipping activities.
