The company's experts say it's important to make sound choices when securing retail or office space, since your decisions in this area will impact the success of your business.

Here are some tips to assist you in leasing office or retail space:

• Make A Budget: Start by figuring out how much you can afford. Look at rent expense as a percentage of your company's monthly revenues, and use industry benchmarks as your guide.
• Know The Factors Affecting Commercial Property Leasing Costs: The more traffic and activity a location has, the more you'll pay in leasing costs. Being at the heart of the action will translate into more customer traffic if you have a retail business, and your rent will reflect this. Also, move-in-ready spaces can sometimes have cheaper rent, as opposed to spaces that need renovated or built-out from scratch which involves up-front construction costs.  If these costs are paid by the Lessor, it will be reflected in your rent.

• Determine How Much Space You Need: Work out how much square footage you need for your office or retail space. Aim to narrow your estimate down to within a range of 250 square feet.
• Find A Handful Of Quality Options: It's a mistake to lease the first piece of commercial property that crosses your path. Find five or six choices, and compare these picks to find the office or retail space best suited for your needs.
