Lifehacks

How wonderful it would be if all the premises of the business center were magically filled with tenants. However, empty spaces are not a reason for panic. We bring to your attention life hacking, which will help bring additional profits to your complex. Directly or indirectly. "Money to the cashier" 1. Organize coworking . A mini-office or an individual workplace is a western trend that has taken on well in Russia. Its advantages for customers - budget, comfort, work not in the standard mode, but at a convenient time. There is a stereotype that co-working is certainly a creative and underground place for young and energetic people. In practice, mini-offices are an excellent option for people of all age and professional categories. Therefore, equipped coworking in a BC with good location and infrastructure will attract the attention of visitors. The organization of space will require jobs, a recreation area with a kitchenette, a reception area with a secretary. The minimum staff includes the administrators of the hall, the sysadmin, secretaries, and the kliner. 2. Refit vacant space in common areas and enter into an agreement with the tenants on the maintenance of the MOP. 3. Equip a retail outlet in a free space. It should be noted that the main customers of such a mini-market will be tenants and visitors of the business center - there will not be people from the street. The range of products - food and beverages, coffee, newspapers, stationery, small household items, flowers and souvenirs. 4. Rent the room under the showroom . The advantages of this solution for tenants are the access system in the BC and a high level of security: customers come to the showroom by appointment. For decoration of the room does not require special investments: furniture, hung, mirrors, fitting room cabin. But the office itself must have a high-quality finish and good insolation.  5. Advertise BC to PR agencies as an excellent venue for events . In this case, you can use not only free offices, but also the surrounding area. The obvious advantages are security, chamber, technical possibilities for connecting the equipment. 6. Rent space in the short-term rental for video or photography . This option is suitable for presentable rooms with expensive furniture and good lighting. This is a fairly narrow market segment, but the demand for such services is high: there are not enough offers. 7. Arrange an exhibition gallery . This is another option for a short-term lease or event for tenants and residents. At such an exhibition can be exhibited not only paintings or photographs, but also any author's works intended for sale (the so-called "crafts fairs").Positive experience in organizing such an exhibition space is in BC CITIDEL and BT Domnikov. 8. Rent rooms for master classes or seminars . This is a very popular option. Good location near the metro, convenient room, the ability to organize a coffee break - office space is more comfortable for small events than the strict conference rooms. Increase tenant loyalty These two solutions do not bring direct benefits to the owner of a business center, but they seriously improve the loyalty of its tenants, which means that new customers will also receive attention. 9. Create a comfortable recreation area for employees . It is clear that they come to work to work, not to rest, but a relaxation zone in the BC is necessary. 10. Equip a sports area - area for unloading and fitness. Here you can periodically organize team building and other interesting events for tenants. Any free space is your potential income. Therefore, consider all the possibilities of its use - not even the most standard.

The choice of the Management company for a business center should be approached as a marriage, which is not out of love, but by calculation, according to ILM. And if the work of the company does not suit you, it does not work to change the situation, the output is obvious - “divorce and maiden name”. Just look for a new “partner” of office life immediately. ILM specialists have compiled a short guide that can be used as a guide to action: Consequences of patience By cooperating with the Management company, which poorly performs its duties, you risk spending too much money on repairs, receive penalties and incur indirect losses. The rotation of tenants will increase, which will negatively affect your Cash Flow, and rental rates will fall. Make a competent technical task It should reflect your requirements, scope and list of works, fundamentally important points. Ask to make a commercial offer on the template. If the form of a commercial offer is uniform, it will be easier for you to compare them, and the comparison itself will be complete. Pay special attention to the duration of the company's presence in the market and the number of objects under its management. This is not always the decisive factor for choosing - a young, ambitious Management companies can make a more advantageous offer and work with full efficiency. However, such a company is unlikely to have experience in servicing large buildings. Portfolio and recommendations These are intangible assets of the Management company, which are extremely important for the evaluation of the candidate. Careful examination of reviews and recommendations will help you to know the company better. A beautiful website, of course, is not bad, but you need to understand what other customers are thinking about the work of the Management Company, and not the marketers of the company themselves. Arrange an interview with candidates for the functions of performers You should take a closer look at the key employees of the Management company, on which the functioning of your business center will depend. If the Management company does not want or can not organize a meeting - this is an occasion to think. Assess the results of the Management company, regardless of the class of objects that are in its operation What does it mean? You need to find out if the company can competently manage the building in a limited budget. Tip: visit a class C facility and see how it is serviced, talk to tenants and find out if they are satisfied, do they quickly troubleshoot the problem? The “father” of advertising, David Ogilvy, said: “Working with amateurs demoralizes professionals.” This expression is excellent for this situation. Be demanding and let your choice be successful.
