Office space can be a big part of owning your own business. It can be a pretty big expense, too\u2026 And of course, the past two years might have changed how you do business in that Atlanta office \u2013 a lot. <\/p>\n

Maybe you have more people working from home. Maybe you\u2019ve had to lay off some, at least for now. Odds are good that if you take a peek out over your office these days, you won\u2019t see what you saw in 2019. <\/p>\n

It might be time to ask: Do I still need as much office space?<\/i><\/p>\n

Now, if your answer to my question above is \u201cno,\u201d let\u2019s look at what your options are for saving on office space\u2026<\/p>\n

Saving On Office Space For Your Atlanta Business<\/strong><\/span>
\u201cThe biggest boss has the clearest desk.\u201d – John Cho<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Desks, cubicles, conference rooms: You probably dreamed about them when you imagined having your own business, but the fact today is, they may not be the must-haves they once were \u2013 especially when you start looking at how much of your workforce might stay virtual. <\/span><\/p>\n

I want my employees where I can see them,<\/i> you might be thinking. That\u2019s only natural thinking for a boss. But don\u2019t be in such a hurry to put that thinking ahead of your bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants found out in a recent survey that one in five CPAs and accounting firms expect some sort of office space reduction soon because of the pandemic. In a different<\/span> <\/span>survey<\/span><\/a>, three-quarters of big business CEOs agreed, estimating that for every five employees they would wind up needing just three<\/i> desks. Others said they\u2019ll probably wind up for a while with a hybrid schedule where workers switch off being in the office and working from home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point is, maybe these companies no longer need as much space. <\/span><\/p>\n

Which begs the question: Do you? Let\u2019s talk about saving on office space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play the numbers game<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What are you spending to maintain your Atlanta office? This is probably a painfully clear number but you need to examine it in terms of how big your staff is \u2026 and, more importantly, how big your staff is going<\/i> to be. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s assume that you\u2019ve decided changes in space might help your company. Grab a pencil and think about these questions:<\/span><\/p>\n
