While you are scouting, hunting and searching for your West Branch (IA) office location, take your time and research the area before committing to a lease, especially if the West Branch (IA) owner insists on a long-term contract. You'll most likely be working long hours in this new West Branch space, if it could cause added stress (traffic, limited parking or space) look elsewhere for a location in West Branch (IA) that fits your company's needs and meets its requirements.
