I appreciate your compliments. Do you blog anywhere else about office space? I would love to read what others are saying. It is always great to educate people on saving money when it comes to their overhead.

Have a great night!

I think your blog is absolutely fantastic! As an entrepreneur at heart, I enjoy helping entrepreneurs get started with an impressive office. Have you ever thought about a turn-key, flexible, short-term commitment, wired office space?

A turn-key office space would give you and clients the opportunity to not have to worry about a real estate agent, long term leases, electrician, heating, phone handsets, reception services, scanners, faxes, copiers, phone numbers, and prestigious addresses.

At NYCOfficeSuites, I specialize in helping start-ups and small companies get started with a very cost-efficient office space with everything all ready set up. Your clients can have a short-term office which gives the impression of a grand company. We can set them up on a 3 month agreement, instead of a year lease. They can rent a small office and use the conference rooms when needed to make the first impression they want on their clients and they do not have put large amounts of money into their real estate costs.

I hope this helps and lets them focus on their business as I focus on their office space at their budget exuding to their clients years of success through our conference rooms and grand entrances.

To get started, you can have a New York City office in the Grand Central District for $289/month and just use the office when needed or for $895 a month, your clients can have 24/7 access.

Kind regards,

Unfortunately, it seems that we still have quite a while to go before the economy hits bottom. It is likely that at least some of these property owners will soften their stance on long term leases out of sheer necessity.

If they had to choose between allowing sublet relationships and a tenant giving back a space altogether one would think the former would be more attractive…I guess only time will tell.

BTW – Your site is officially the first great resource for small businesses and entrepreneurs we are following on behalf of our blog.

I love your idea and think your new venture is starting-up at the perfect time. In Massachusetts, where I am, there is a huge inventory of space. Unfortunately, property owners are still thinking in terms of long term leases. A real turn off for small companies. Subleasing is definitely the way to go during the “formative” years.

As a start up company, I have faced this dilemna on quite a few occasions. Luckily, friends or contacts always seemed to come through at the last minute with an available desk or cubicle within their space.

I have not posted a comment on your blog in the past, but thought I would mention a new venture that I just launched which speaks directly to this dilemna and might be helpful to your readers.

OpenOfficeSpace.com facilitates the interaction between companies burdened with carrying the cost of their unused office space and small businesses/entrepreneurs looking to streamline their expenses.

Our service is completely free for both parties. The actual idea was spawned as the sublease on my current commercial space was coming to an end, coupled with the significant increase in available sublet inventory due to the economy.

I am really glad that I came across your blog as I will definitely be subscribing to your feed.

Thank you.
