Every space (office or home) has an impact on those who occupy it. The top things to consider when choosing a space for a small starting company: collaboration, privacy, lighting, noise.
collaboration - depending on your type of business, choose a space that either promotes or discourages collaboration.
privacy - choose a space that lets your employees have a sense of privacy. Its not fun having the boss being able to see you all day long.
lighting - beware of bad lighting, from overpowering flourecents to blinding sunlight.
noise - internal (ie, deafening air conditioning) to external (ie, youre located next to a railroad crossing)
