In one of our previous blog posts, we explored how important your business’ office space is for your team’s productivity.
But what happens when your team’s growth and success means your office is no longer fit for purpose?
As experts in Commercial Property, Bolton Birch have come to recognise a number of telltale signs that point towards businesses needing a bigger and better office space – one that will help continue their growth.
Here are a few that you should look out for:
You’re hiring more team members
Sounds simple enough, but the more successful you become, the bigger your team is going to grow! Each team member deserves their own working space and if you’re a new team of 10 working in an office made for 5, you’re going to struggle to provide that.
If you’re starting to take on more clients and hiring more people to account for it, you definitely need to start your search for a bigger office.
You’re turning down work
That said, it may be the case that you have lots of new work coming in, but you’re having to turn it away through gritted teeth as you simply do not have a big enough team.
A bigger office means you have space to hire more people, and a bigger team means you can say yes to more work and continue your success – simple!
Storage is an issue
Is your route to the office kitchen blocked by a number of boxes and the Christmas decorations? Then it’s definitely time to start looking for bigger spaces, especially ones with lots of storage potential.
A tidy space is a tidy mind, and a clear office with wide-open spaces is great for maintaining productivity and a safe, healthy work environment.

Productivity has taken a hit
Are your monthly reports showing a dip in progress without a sufficient reason?
The source may be a lack of productivity due to an unsatisfactory work environment. A cramped office can impact your team’s well-being and the overall productivity and morale of your office can take a hit. A bigger space means more space to provide a healthy balance of work and play.
You have no space for privacy
If your most recent client meetings have been taking place in a canteen or even the nearby coffee shop, chances are you’re in need of a bigger office space, one with multiple meeting rooms.
Meeting clients in your office allows you to make a great first impression and demonstrate your brand and its professionalism, and separated meetings rooms give you the chance to chat in a private, controlled environment that enables your true colours to shine.
