Having your own business is expensive, we know. You fork out so much on paying your ,admittedly vital, minions and then you still need to pay for the space to put them all? It’s stressful. Sometimes you need help making sure you are really getting the most out of your assets.

Together, your property and salaries bill typically represent over 85% of a company’s expenditure. Now, with this in mind, have you ever stopped to consider whether you are getting the most out of your real estate, and indeed your people, that you pay so dearly for every month?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you have large, or many, meeting rooms that stand vacant most of the time?

• Do you find your employees spending a lot of time around the coffee station, brainstorming, collaborating and thrashing ideas out?

• How often are your large boardrooms occupied by only two colleagues having a one-on-one?

• How many dead spaces are scattered throughout your office that are too small for any practical purpose or are cluttered with items that have no genuine reason to exist?

• How many of your staff unnecessarily occupy individual offices that are too big for one person but too small to put more into?

• Do you have unnecessary passages lined with offices and storerooms that steal all the natural light from your building?

If you raised an eyebrow to one, many, or most of these questions, then it really is time for you to reconsider your office space and think about how much you could save by making it work optimally for you.

Thankfully, there are some experts out there who can help you. The guys at workplace specialists, Giant Leap will gladly come around for a visit and carry out a free assessment of your workspace for you. Not only will this give you a great indication on how well your space is working for you, but it will also show you how getting smarter with what you have can either accommodate your planned growth or even give your staff that canteen and games room they so badly want.

What if the results prove that you actually have too much space and it’s eating into your bottom line every month? If it’s going to cost you nothing more than some of your time, don’t you think that it’s worth giving them a call to find out what they can do for you and how much they can save you each month?
