Contemplate whether to renovate or relocate
If you are outgrowing your current office space and business, you may wonder whether to renovate or relocate the office. There are some factors to consider while making one of the decisions. Initially, look into the condition of your current office, and if it needs significant repairs, it may be cost-effective to relocate the space. On the other hand, if your office remains in good condition but looks outdated or does not use its space effectively, we suggest renovating it.
Then, consider the location of your current office. If it is in a prime location, it is worthwhile to invest in renovating it. However, if your office is in a less desirable location, make steps to relocate your office space to attract new customers and grow your business.
By taking time to weigh your options by considering several factors, you can make the best decision for your business to relocate or renovate.
Think about your long-term business goals
A clear plan for future growth for the long-term success of your company allows you to plan accordingly. For instance, answering to few questions such as, what is your business goal? How will your company achieve its goals? Who are your target markets? It can help you better understand your business needs and office space.
Establish and stay on budget track
Before embarking on an office renovation, it is important to have a note on your budget to ensure that the project stays on track within the budget fixed. While establishing your budget, include a line item for unexpected costs, such as unforeseen structural damage or unanticipated delays.
Inspect and make use of the available space
A well-organized office is a valuable asset to any business. Taking time to inspect your office site and properly use the available space can help increase your business’s productivity and efficiency. Assessing your business needs while inspecting the space can plan your renovation accordingly.
Claim depreciation
As a commercial property owner in Australia, you can use deductions on your office fit-outs. The best way is to claim depreciation based on the decline of the value of each of your assets, transportation and installation expenses, and future wear and tear.
