Furnished Office Suites:

You must consider if do you want a furnished office space unit, or prefer an executive suite that you can furnish and design? Please remember that if you plan on renting a short term lease - like monthly or 6 month terms - then go with a furnished option. Otherwise, plan on renting an office space (in an office park facility) for 12 months or longer, then try to buy your own furniture and maybe even hire an office interior designer to help you with the layout and flow. Another thing to think about is how much office space (even unfurnished) is needed per employee. One of the biggest cities in the state of California is San Francisco.
