You are now ready to take your dental supplies and equipment
business to the next level, but should you do? You are starting to expand your
business: you are getting more orders for your clear braces, invisible braces,
teeth aligners, equipment related to invisalign, and consumables– what to do
next? The next big thing you may want to consider is leasing a warehouse. It
may sound too overwhelming or challenging, but you should strongly consider it
if you are going after making it bigger in the industry. You should remember
that in order for your dental supplies business to further keep up with the
consumers’ demands, you would need to expand your services and production.
Leasing a dental supplies and equipment warehouse can be quite
challenging and stressing, in fact. Since Sydney is crowded by hundreds of
business operations, which is why you may have a hard time finding a warehouse
that is in prime location. However, if you know what to do, who to approach and
where to do it, then you can successfully lease a warehouse in a convenient
location.
When looking for a facility, you should put into considerations
several factors, which include location, price, terms and conditions, and
space.
You would want a warehouse accessible to you, your colleagues, and
your employees. By having a warehouse located in an accessible and convenient
area, you don’t have to worry about the transportation of your workers. If your
warehouse is located far from roads and business districts, expect to have a
hard time coping with transportation logistics, which could mean more expenses
to your company.
The price should be right. The price of the facility should be
relative with its location, space, and facilities. If the warehouse is located
far from accessible roads, expect its price to be much lower. However, if it is
located in a prime spot, expect the price to be more expensive. The rule of the
thumb is that the price should justify the location, space, facilities, and
even amenities of the warehouse for it to be considered a good deal. If you think
that it is overpriced or underpriced, you may want to check further because you
may end up in a bad deal where you are at the receiving end.
Never settle for a warehouse that has shady and seemingly unlawful
terms and conditions. If you don’t have formal legal background, you would want
to consult with a business or corporate lawyer who has experience in reviewing
leasing contracts so you would know if you are about to enter a legitimate deal
or not. Also, it is a must that you conditions carefully and thoroughly read
the terms and for you to determine whether or not they will work against you.
The space of the warehouse should fit in your business’ supplies and
materials. Choose a facility where you can fit thousands of supplies for
invisalign, teeth straightening as
dental implants, dental equipment, dental consumables, and dental spare parts.
You don’t want to settle for a warehouse that has limited space because it
would not compliment your business needs. If your dental supplies business
would not need a spacious warehouse, avoid looking for one that offers a lot of
space because you may just have to shoulder more expenses. Hence, it is vital
and crucial for you to do a survey of the warehouse first before committing to
a deal. It is also advisable to have an expert with you during the survey so he
or she can determine whether or not the space of the warehouse is enough for
your business.
