Why Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Use Spacefinder to Find New Office Spaces
When a company is looking for new office space, there are many factors to consider. Budget, location, layout, and future growth are just a few. Still, more and more small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are choosing to use Spacefinder in their search for new premises. But why?
Efficient Use of Time and Resources
Searching for new offices can be a demanding process—especially for companies without internal resources dedicated to real estate. The more employees, the more needs and opinions must be considered. With Spacefinder, companies can easily filter by their own criteria and quickly get an overview of relevant options, without wasting time on irrelevant listings or scattered information.
Realistic Expectation Management
Many tenants have unrealistic expectations of what kind of office space they can get within a given budget—especially when it comes to location and standard. Spacefinder helps businesses understand market prices more clearly through our transparent presentation of office listings and pricing. Tools like our office calculator offer valuable insight into what is actually within reach—and how to adjust expectations if needed.
Access to the Full Market – Even the Hidden Gems
One of the major advantages of using Spacefinder is that we aggregate available office spaces from the entire market—including listings that are not advertised on traditional platforms. This means users often gain access to spaces they wouldn’t have found elsewhere. We also highlight flexible alternatives, such as subleases or offices with shorter lease terms, which are often ideal for growing SMBs.

Businesses choose Spacefinder because we:
-
Simplify the search for office space
-
Set realistic expectations based on actual market data
-
