Depending on their needs, size, and budget, large businesses can rent an entire building or just office space. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, but which is the most suitable choice for this type of business?
What is a large enterprise?
Becoming a large-scale enterprise is the dream of many investors. However, to achieve this goal, it is important to have a firm grasp of information about the type of business. Currently, there are no specific regulations to define a large-scale enterprise, but typically, these enterprises often have the following notable characteristics:
- The total capital of large enterprises is usually over 100 billion VND and they have at least 300 employees.
- Large enterprises account for a very small proportion of registered businesses, only about 5% at present. Despite their low proportion, they play an important role in the economy, as they undertake a large volume of work and contribute positively to national economic development.
- Large enterprises are often the stable pillars of the economy, responsible for providing strong leadership to overcome crises and maintain steady business cycles. This stability helps ensure sustainable development and avoid sudden fluctuations in the national economy.
- Large enterprises can grow from small beginnings or be established with strong financial backing from the outset. This enables them to quickly access and apply global scientific and technological advances.
- The competitiveness of large enterprises in terms of capital and human resources is often higher than that of small and medium-sized enterprises. Diversification of activities in core areas and even monopolies in certain sectors in Vietnam are their strengths. Large corporations such as the Petroleum Group, the Electricity Group, the Mineral Group, and the Coal Group are prominent representatives of large enterprises.
So should large companies rent an entire building or office space?
It can be seen in the market that many large enterprises rent entire buildings or even invest in constructing and owning their own buildings, such as Vietcombank Tower by Vietcombank or Sofic Tower by Thaco Group – serving as both headquarters and office rental businesses... However, there are also companies that choose to rent office space, such as the National Bank of Canada (NAB), which rents 8,500 square meters of office space at The Hallmark.
In reality, the decision to lease an entire building or a large office space depends on many factors such as the scale, usage needs, financial capacity, and development strategy of the business.
Large enterprises often prioritize leasing entire buildings in the following cases:
- More than 200 employees: Large companies with hundreds or even thousands of employees will need spacious workspaces. When leasing an entire building, the company can use the entire area, ensuring space for each department without having to share with other companies.
- Requires multiple functional rooms: When there are many departments and a need for multiple functional rooms such as large meeting rooms, small meeting rooms, conference rooms, employee break rooms, and rooms dedicated to specialized departments such as technology, legal, or finance. Renting an entire building would be the solution to meet this diverse space requirement.
- Brand affirmation: Leasing an entire building is also a way for businesses to build a strong image in the eyes of customers, partners, and employees. Businesses can display their logo and company name on the building's facade, which not only helps increase brand recognition but also creates an impression of scale and professionalism.
- Independence and privacy: When owning the entire building, the business does not have to share common areas with other companies. This not only increases privacy but also allows for tight control over security factors, ensuring a high level of confidentiality.
- Freedom to customize and design the space: Leasing an entire building provides flexibility in customizing the interior space. Businesses can freely design work areas, meeting rooms, and common areas in their own style without having to comply with the building's general regulations.
- Operational control: When leasing an entire building, businesses have full control over management, maintenance, air conditioning, and security services. This minimizes dependence on third parties and increases operational autonomy.
- Scaling strategy: For businesses with a long-term vision, leasing an entire building helps meet workspace needs when scaling up, without having to search for a new location.
Businesses will prioritize leasing office space in the following cases:
- Space that suits your needs: Large companies opening branches or newly entering the market with a small number of employees often do not need a lot of space. Renting a large office floor in a building is more cost-effective and suitable in terms of usable space.
- Prioritize cost savings: Instead of paying a large amount to operate and manage the entire building, leasing a large office space helps businesses save on rental costs and building management services such as maintenance, cleaning, and security.
- Want to take advantage of diverse and readily available amenities: Large office buildings often have shared amenities such as reception lobbies, parking areas, conference rooms, gyms, restaurants, and cafes. When leasing large office space, businesses can take advantage of these amenities without having to make additional investments.
- Simple operation and management: When leasing one or more office floors in a large building, the business will be managed by a professional building management unit. This helps reduce the burden of maintenance and operation, allowing the business to focus on its core business activities.
- Adjusting leased space: Leasing large office space in a building can offer more flexibility in terms of area and lease term. Businesses can easily expand or reduce their leased space as needed, which is particularly useful for companies that are growing or changing their business strategy.
- Lower risk: When businesses choose to lease office space rather than an entire building, they are only responsible for the area they lease. This helps minimize financial risk, especially if business conditions fluctuate.
- Central location at a reasonable cost: Large office buildings are often located in prime locations such as city centers or bustling business districts. Renting a large office floor allows businesses to have space in strategic locations without having to pay the high rental costs associated with renting an entire building.
