Are you giving yourself enough breaks during the workday? Often we can’t help but work long hours in order to get everything on the to-do list crossed off, but even a brief pause will have positive effects on your health and attitude. From little breaks you can add to your daily routine to summer adventures that will help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated, here are five great ways to treat yourself to some fun time off this summer.

Increase your productivity with the office efficiency and on demand administrative assistance provided by shared workspaces. From mail services, to IT support, phone reception services and more, shared workspaces are your company’s one stop shop for all the business support you need available anytime.

One of the primary objectives of any small business is to grow and expand in a way that supports both your employees and clients alike. How can you make sure your business has the correct resources to accommodate such growth? Expansion means more employees. More employees means more space, more offices, desks, chairs, the list goes on. Shared executive office spaces grant you and your business the freedom to expand at your own rate without the pressures of committing to a long-term lease. Here at AdvantEdge, our team works closely with you day in and day out to make sure your business’s needs are met to the highest standards.

Nowadays, we have seemingly unlimited options when it comes to finding the perfect office space. Physical office space can be one of your company’s biggest expenses, therefore, it is important to start early and determine the needs of your business at present, while also considering the future. Where to start? Consult different resources at your disposal to ensure that you make the best decision for both your company and your employees.

Location is a vital factor in choosing a new office space. Finding the perfect balance of proximity to home, clients, and industry partners can be tough, but the right location can boost your business growth almost instantly. Our easily accessible D.C. area locations are Class A with high-end amenities, providing everything your small business needs within Washington, DC. Here at AdvantEdge Business Centers we offer three convenient workspaces in high-end neighborhoods to help give your business the tools to grow.

In running and maintaining a successful business, planning ahead is always encouraged. However, this is easier said than done especially when the future is uncertain. In situations like these, it’s ideal to develop plans that are as flexible as possible and to work with people who understand the nature of an ever-growing, ever-changing business. Here at AdvantEdge, our ongoing goal is to evolve with your business and help you succeed any way we can. Our job is to help you juggle the seemingly constant internal changes of your office in order to help your business continue to grow over time.

In the process of deciding whether or not to take your business from idea to startup, there is much to consider beyond your concept. In a competitive city like Washington, DC, small business startups are increasing rapidly, and first impressions are critical. So how do you create this environment for your startup without emptying your bank account? A virtual office may be the perfect solution, and comes at only a fraction of the cost of full-time office space.
