As with any new place there will be costs involved with moving and furnishing your new space. Moving into a new office space can bring about all sorts of surprise costs, such as redecorating, furnishing, security systems, and possibly upgraded phone lines or Internet services.

Be sure to calculate your cost to move and outfit your office effectively. Ensure that you’ll be able to cover the costs for your move within about a year, either through increased efficiency or by bringing on more work. Be careful not to base renting your new digs on speculative work. Economic downturns can happen quickly and have been the cause of many
