Whether you’re part of a massive franchise, or the only staff member in a company you started, getting good office space can be a minefield. Real estate prices are painfully high all over New Zealand and dedicated office spaces are hard to come by in many cities. Whether you’re in the Wellington CBD, or in the outskirts of Tokoroa, availability, suitability, and affordability are all nearly impossible to find all united in a single property. A portable office may be just the thing!
Imagine, if you will: your business has just landed a new contract. A major client, or a go-ahead on a big project from the boss. Suddenly you need to expand, your old office space just won’t do, it’s time for your company to seize the opportunity and grow. New staff, new merchandise which will need new storage, new servers that need dedicated and properly maintained space.
They all need to go somewhere, and how you handle it now will impact how success this new growth is in the long run. What do you do, build an entirely new building? Too risky, you can’t afford to commit to that so early.
Hire out some shared office space? Far too much work relocating backwards and forwards, and it’s certainly no place to receive customers or story expensive merchandise. You don’t have the space for them in your current building, and it’s going to be enough work just keeping up with the new workload and hiring of new employees without the hassle of moving the entire business too. A portable office gives you more room with less fuss, and endless flexibility.
Today’s business world moves at a rapid, blink-and-you-miss-it pace. Adaptability is vital. Portable temporary offices are the perfect secret weapon. Do your employees need to travel frequently? Does your business range the country but can’t afford the burden of a single permanent location? Do you ever feel like your car is more your office then your actual work station?
The convenience and customisable qualities of a portable office can’t be overstated.
