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