Office Containers, buy or rent out?
Buying or renting an office container? Which option is best to choose? This question is completely valid, as the costs of maintaining a traditional office in the center or on the outskirts of the city are increasing. Every entrepreneur starting or still developing their company is perfectly aware of this. It's no wonder that the price of an office container can be very appealing. However, it is better to buy office container or rent it?
Office containers – what is worth knowing about them?
At the very beginning, it is worth explaining what office containers are. Primarily these are facilities characterized with a modular structure. You can easily adapt it to your needs - by deciding on the specific area of the rooms, equipment or basic utilities. Additionally, office containers:
- are mobile objects that can be moved and assembled quickly and easily;
- starting from one module, they can create an office, including an open space with unlimited area;
- are fully adapted to the user's needs. They can be connected to the water and sewage system or the electricity network;
Advantages of an office in a container
Renting office containers, as well as purchasing them for yourself, is now an increasingly common practice. They are an undoubtedly cheaper substitute for classic offices in skyscrapers, while meeting the highest standards, which translates into the comfort of work of their users. You should also be aware that the assembly of a container office is very quick, so it can be used immediately - regardless of the season. Thanks to proper insulation and materials selected for the facade, an office container purchased at an attractive price will withstand both UV rays and heavy rain, snow and hail.
Office in a container = novelty
Purchasing and renting an office container will allow you to save a lot of money in the long run, which you can then spend on developing your company. It should be remembered that both office containers, service containers and glass containers are in no way different from the spaces rented in modern construction:
- their facade can be unconventional and very modern;
- they also have windows (they can be standard or showcase windows) and anti-burglary doors;
- are resistant to weather conditions and provide appropriate working conditions;
- they can be arranged like modern rooms;
- they're mobile!
Pros & cons of renting
Renting office containers has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages certainly include:
- lower one-off costs, which certainly appeal to companies looking for significant savings. One-time rental containers will also be useful during the renovation of the company's headquarters (without having to interrupt work) or during regular meetings,
- purely pragmatic issues. When starting your own company, you can rent an office container and start working quickly - without having to worry about expensive rent. A rented container can also be treated as a fully measurable test before purchasing your own container,
- technical matters. You no longer need an office container? Just return it - without tedious formalities or looking for a new buyer.
Are there any disadvantages of renting office containers? Of course, they result from the very premise of "renting". They may not be fully adapted to the user's needs, and they must be paid for regularly - as is the case with classic offices.
Pros & cons of buying
The purchase of an office container is a large, but also future-proof investment. New owners will appreciate:
- possibility of adapting the container 100% to your needs,
- no rental fees,
- possibility of moving your office.
Of course, a one-time purchase of an office container involves significant costs, which may prove insurmountable for small companies. In such cases, renting a container can also help you save the required amount of money.
