Office Space in PP
I'm considering starting up a no-frills IT business in Cambodia - I'm not currently resident - but the one thing that's really thrown me is how much office space seems to cost on all the English-language realtor sites. There seems to be little to nothing below about $10/sqm, which while not extortionate still doesn't seem significantly cheaper than what I could get in most developed countries.
`
I assume this is because only the expensive places make it onto the English language sites, so can anyone shed some light on what I could expect to pay for ~100sqm if I'm not bothered about getting an A Class building and can find a local to do my negotiating for me?

Re: Office Space in PP
any thoughts at all on this?
What are some good locations or areas I should be looking at? As I say, I've no need for an A-grade office at a fancy address, but it does need to be a reasonable commute from where actual people live.

What do you mean by a "no-frills IT business"? Will you need constant electricity and/or internet? Will customers physically come to your office? Will this be an officially licensed business, on on the down-low? Check this out: https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/h ... -t64.html

B2B software dev, web design consulting etc. Mix of customer work for a constant revenue stream plus internal product dev to fill out any bench time. The aim would be to keep costs low enough that we could afford to spend a year training inexperienced devs, to make up for the shortage in the IT labour market. Looking at maybe 6-8 employees so I don't think doing it on the down-low would be an option. But, if the office+internet is going to cost more than the staff then it's over before it starts...
Internet and electricity is obviously important, but 10 minutes a few times a week wouldn't damage anything mission-critical. Servers would all be on the cloud.
Might occasionally need meeting space for customers but there's no reason that can't be done with a Regus/servcorp hourly-rate office.

Re: Office Space in PP
its not just the office. if you have 8 Khmer and they have to commute most places charge $1 a day to park a bike, so that's $20 to $30 a month they are going to lose off their salary if they got a bike, otherwise they are going to need to pay for motodup. I hope you are paying them well. You could rent a whole house for under $200 if you don't ark yourself in the middle of the city and use the ground floor for parking
