1. Office Leasing Is a Strategic Business Decision<\/h2>\n
Leasing an office is not just about securing a physical space \u2014 it’s a strategic decision that directly impacts your operations, budget, and brand identity.<\/p>\n

Effective Office Leasing Process for Businesses<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
An effective office leasing process includes the following steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Step 1: Define office requirements and leasing criteria<\/li>\n
Step 2: Choose a trusted service provider<\/li>\n
Step 3: Maison Office assists clients in defining leasing requirements<\/li>\n
Step 4: Search and propose suitable office options<\/li>\n
Step 5: Conduct site visits, evaluate, and select office options<\/li>\n
Step 6: Select the target office<\/li>\n
Step 7: Negotiate and discuss the lease agreement<\/li>\n
Step 8: Review and sign the office lease contract<\/li>\n
Step 9: Relocate and arrange office furniture<\/li>\n
Step 10: Evaluate and improve the office after leasing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Before beginning the search for office space, businesses must clearly define their leasing criteria in alignment with their development strategy and operational model. Careful preparation at this stage not only shortens the search time but also helps avoid unexpected costs during later use.<\/p>\n
Below are the key criteria to be determined:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Office size:<\/strong> Estimate based on current headcount and 1 – 3 year expansion plans. Typically, companies should allocate 6 – 8m\u00b2 per person for traditional offices, or use space more flexibly for open-plan layouts.<\/li>\n
Location:<\/strong> Prioritize central districts such as District 1, District 3 (HCMC) or Hoan Kiem, Cau Giay (Hanoi) for frequent client interaction. Outer districts like District 7, Thu Duc City, or Nam Tu Liem are more suitable for larger companies seeking to optimize rental costs.<\/li>\n
Monthly budget:<\/strong> Include base rent, service charges, VAT, parking fees, air conditioning electricity, and overtime charges (TCO \u2013 Total Cost of Occupancy). A comprehensive cost estimate allows for better financial planning.<\/li>\n
Office type:<\/strong> Choose between traditional office, shared office, serviced office, or coworking space – each model suits a different stage of business growth.<\/li>\n
Building amenities and services:<\/strong> Consider backup generators, central air conditioning, reception service, 24\/7 security, parking facilities, pantry areas, and shared meeting rooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
