What to decide before you view offices
Regional headquarters decisions usually go wrong when the property search starts before the requirement is clear. Settle these first:
- Headcount today, in 12 months and in 3 years
- Which functions sit in Kuala Lumpur: leadership, finance, sales, engineering, shared services
- Single floor or multiple floors, and whether you need expansion rights
- Bare shell, fitted or part-fitted, and your target move-in date
- Client-facing space versus back-office space
- Your corporate real estate approval timeline
