If you’re starting a new business, I would advise against renting a shop in the High Street or signing leases for offices. If you must have an office, rent one of the many serviced offices, like Regus or We-Work, with a flexible short-term contract. The rent will be a little higher than a basic office room, but they provide you with telephone lines, answering service, photocopiers, printers, coffee machines, meeting rooms, cleaners and so on. The other advantage of a professional serviced office is that you will immediately look more credible and established.
You can also work from home while using an office accommodation address and answering service.
