For many organizations, leasing makes more sense than buying when it comes to office and warehouse space. This is particularly true for operations that are newer or require some level of scalability, flexibility, or value-added services.

Even if the long-term goal is to someday buy your own dedicated commercial property, renting for a while is a smart strategy that allows companies to save money while monitoring local real estate markets and getting a better sense of how much room they actually need. (You don’t want to learn the hard way after buying that you over- or underestimated space requirements.) 

Commercial property in Ohio is expensive. Plus it comes with a fair amount of risk and liability once you’ve bought it. Property owners are expected to keep up with maintenance, anticipate and promptly address safety and security issues, and cover utilities, taxes, insurance, and more. When you lease office space, most of those responsibilities aren’t on your shoulders.

When your offices are on the same site as your warehouse operations, it can make collaboration, inventory management, distribution, and responsive customer service that much easier. 

Others who find our office space leases ideal for companies that:

• Have hybrid workforces. According to the EY’s Future Workplace Index, 60% of companies are operating in a hybrid work model, mixing in-person and remote work. On Time Delivery & Warehouse offers annual office space lease contracts.
• Are seeking shared office space rentals. Increasingly, companies are relying less on full-time, dedicated work stations and equipment. With office space rentals, workers might bring in their own laptops or tablets, while desks, chairs, meeting tables, conference rooms, printers, and other office staples may be shared with other firms to cut down on costs. They may alternate days/weeks, or work alongside each other if both are only using part of the space most of the time.
• Are setting up a satellite office. If you’re headquartered elsewhere but looking to gain a foothold in Midwest markets, OTDW is a great solution - short- or long-term. 
• Want to establish an office closer to a thriving labor market. Ohio has a wealth of skilled workers - many of whom enjoy the affordability, beautiful parks, friendly Midwest culture, and overall quality of life here. They have families, homes, close community ties, and would prefer to stay close if they can. Rented office space near Cleveland allows companies to tap into these valuable labor pools and give employees the option to stay closer to “the heart of it all.” 
• Are just starting out. Launching a new business is overwhelming enough without also becoming a commercial property owner. Renting office space gives you the flexibility to scale as needed without a huge investment or commitment. 

With onsite public warehousing and rented office space, companies secure a physical presence in a strategic location, making collaboration, storage, inventory management, and distribution that much easier.
