However, having a commercial building doesn’t have to cost the earth. A temporary business premises can be a cost effective way of giving your company the start it needs. Relocatable or temporary structures are becoming increasingly popular with businesses and are also used for public buildings including schools, stadiums and barracks. They are also steadily improving in quality.
When to Consider Temporary Premises
If you already own a shop or a supermarket and wish to grow your business in a different area, a semi-permanent building may be right for you. Temporary structures are also popular with business owners who are unwilling to invest in permanent solutions due to a lack of resources or being unsure as to whether the corporate venture will be a success. Semi-permanent building solutions are also suitable if some kind of disaster has occurred, for example in the case of fire or extreme weather damage to a commercial property. If your current premises are no longer fulfilling your requirements or you’re currently having some building work done, temporary structures can provide a viable solution.
