Commercial office property can be a major expense for your business, but - if you are willing to put in the time and research - there are ways of reducing the cost.

Three strategies that may assist with your desire to lower outflows are investing in energy-efficient strategies, utilising modern technology and operating a satellite office.

Energy-efficient strategies

Commercial property does not have to eat up such a large chunk of your revenue. There is an abundance of energy-saving devices on the market that are inexpensive to install and can save you a bundle in electricity and water bills.

Modern technology

There are several innovative systems that make it easy to do all of the work you could do in an office from home - including collaborating with your co-workers. Conference calls, online communication devices and smartphones are making it less and less necessary to have all of your employees in the office at one time.

Satellite offices

If your employee base is expanding and your office space seems to be getting smaller, it may be beneficial to operate a satellite office in a less-expensive part of the city. Online collaboration tools make it easy to connect without physically being in the same place.
