The pros of a studio for rent.
Let’s look at the bright side of this discussion first, the advantages of renting a studio for rent:
- Saves Money. This is the most obvious and the top reason renters may opt for a studio for rent. It’s easier to keep utilities cost low when living, or working, in a studio than a larger unit.
- You are Your Own business partner; limited space means limited number of co-workers.
- Saves Time and Energy moving around a smaller space.
- Studios can be Super Stylish, especially those refurbished upper-level units converted from old warehouses.
- Less Cleaning Required and that is always a good thing.
- Better Location as a general rule of thumb.
- Generally less-expensive.
The cons of leasing a studio.
- The small size studios have a limited amount of space due to their small size, which may seem like stating the obvious, but often overlooked.
- It may prove difficult to have customers over comfortably.
- May not suit those with a lot of belongings.
- You will most likely miss out on a closet, or any storage space at all.
- Best suited for only one or two people, possibly limited the growth of your business.
- Limited scope for decoration; you only have a limited space to work with in creating a company image.
Other options available to you.
Are there options other than a studio for rent? Of course there are, so let’s look at a few of them:
- Purchase a shipping container or other alternative construction unit; cost is the main motivator with this option; finding a place to put it can be a huge problem.
- Renting a container if available in your city; in Fort Worth, this option is available at Box Office Warehouse Suites, completely refurbished and retrofitted shipping containers, redesigned as a warehouse for rent, shop for rent, retail space for lease, office space for lease, etc.
- Operating a home-based business, a very attractive option with regards to cost, but not allowed due to zoning in many areas in many cities.
- Lease property outside of city jurisdiction, often resulting in lower costs and less regulations; however, this also means possibly less-than-desirable location for customers.
The options are many, and the options list is growing with each year as new, innovative approaches to traditional real estate are thought of; our primary message in this article is to exhaust all of your options before making your decision, and make sure you consult a financial advisor and real estate lawyer before making your decision.
