When starting or relocating a business, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right premises. The space in which you carry out your activity will directly influence the visibility, comfort and profitability of your company. At Mora Inmobiliaria, as experts in commercial property management, we share with you the five keys you should consider before signing a contract.
Location is everything. A good premises should be in an area that suits your target audience. For example, if your business depends on impulse buying (fashion shops, cafés, bakeries), a central, busy area is ideal. On the other hand, if your service is destination-based (clinics, consultancies, academies), you can consider secondary areas with good transport links and easy parking.
There is little point in being on a main street if your premises go unnoticed. A wide, bright façade with no visual obstacles is essential for attracting potential customers. In addition, a well-designed shop window can become your best calling card.
The space must be adapted to the needs of your business: customer service area, warehouse, fitting rooms, kitchen, consultation rooms, etc. It is not just a question of total floor space, but also of layout and renovation possibilities. A technical visit with a specialised estate agent can avoid surprises later.
Before finalising the lease or purchase, confirm that the premises comply with the business licence you need. Changing it can be costly or even unfeasible. Also consider other legal aspects: accessibility, emergency exits, electrical and sanitary installations.
The amount of foot traffic in front of your premises is a key factor for direct sales businesses. A street with occasional traffic is not the same as one with a constant flow of pedestrians. Also analyse the competition and complementary businesses in the surrounding area: they can become an ally in attracting more customers.
We know that choosing the right premises is not just a question of price. The decision must be based on a strategic analysis of the environment, regulations and functionality of the space. At Mora Inmobiliaria, we advise you every step of the way so that your investment is secure and your business grows from day one.
