How much space does your business need?
Skip the "200 SF per employee" myth — it overshoots or starves you. This builds your requirement up from real function: workstations, meetings, storage, and the circulation you actually pay rent on. Then it projects three years out so you don't sign for a space you outgrow in eighteen months.

Rentable vs. usable: the number above is rentable SF — what you sign a lease for. It includes a ~30% load factor for corridors, walls, and shared building areas. Your usable "inside the four walls" space is smaller. Landlords quote rentable; this is the apples-to-apples number for comparing listings.
Get this as a real space plan
I'll turn this estimate into a tailored requirement and send you current South Florida spaces that actually fit it — plus what the buildout and TI allowance should look like. No cost, and as a tenant rep I'm paid by the landlord, not you.
Estimates use standard commercial space-planning ratios and are for planning only — not a substitute for an architect's test-fit or a broker's space program. Actual needs vary by layout, building efficiency, and use.
