How to select the right office for a start-up?

"Cash is King" for a Start-up. Yet often one of the first things entrepreneurs do is spend precious money on setting up their office. Not only does a new office require capital, which is scarce for a start-up, but there is also a monthly fixed overhead which can be a drain in the early stages. Precious Cash needs to be focused on customer acquisition, product development, and team.

So what is the smart option for an office? Well simple, work from home, or a garage, or get a friend to offer you an office space. Figure out all possible ways to reduce costs. Nowadays it is quite easy to work from home, do meetings online and collaborate with team members. However, there are things for which you do need professional office space, like client meetings, team meetings and so on. For these, you could use meetings rooms in Business Centres.

Golden Square, for instance, provides meeting tables, meeting rooms and conference rooms to its members. Very reasonably priced. Just Rs.80 / hour for an open meeting table, Rs.250 / hour for a closed cabin, and team meetings can happen in a conference room for just Rs.600/ Hour.  The Snap Office website has more details.

So some of our start-up clients work from home and block conference room time twice a week for their team meetings. They do all their planning and review comfortably since the conference rooms are equipped with a projector and Wifi. In this way, office overheads come down drastically.

Some businesses need a lot more co-ordination happening between team members, in which case from a productivity point of view, they do need an office. Golden Square provides team spaces which work out 50% cheaper than having one's own office, especially if the team size is around 5.

Here is an article which gives an idea of how to figure out how much different office options cost.

The Sanctuary of Productivity: How Golden Square Rewrote My Workday Story

  The city's hum, a constant, restless energy, used to be the soundtrack to my daily battle. Like many, I wrestled with the usual office demons: the internet that decided to take a coffee break, the printer with a mind of its own, and the endless administrative tasks that seemed designed to steal my focus. I felt like a juggler, desperately trying to keep all the plates spinning, and often, dropping a few. Then, I discovered Golden Square. It wasn't just a change of address; it was a complete shift in my work narrative. Imagine stepping into a space where the city's frantic energy simply… dissipated. The air felt lighter, the atmosphere more focused, and suddenly, the daily grind transformed into a smooth, almost effortless flow. Gone were the frustrating tech glitches and the anxiety of missed deliveries. A dedicated team, working behind the scenes, took care of the background noise, allowing me to finally concentrate on what truly mattered: my business. It was like having...

3 Ways in Which Co-working Enhances Productivity

The purpose of work as defined by us has undergone a significant shift through the years. What began as a single-minded practical means to earn a livelihood, then became one of engagement and collaboration with fellow workers. The definition of work today isn’t just about earning for the self, but also ensuring that we are happy doing what we do. Being productive is therefore about getting the maximum done out of the few hours we put into work everyday. Different people work in different spaces and there are varying factors that affect productivity. While some work all by themselves and love their flexible timings, others work with organisations that focus on specific tasks and goals. Co-working falls midway between these two extremes. It allows professionals to go about their own tasks but also provides the opportunity to collaborat...
