2. INTRODUCTION Office space can be a drain on resources for start-up, growing companies or established companies needing extra space. Most landlords and commercial real estate agents demand 2- 5 year lease terms (rents) and personal guarantees when securing an office. This is usually not an ideal requirement for young companies or already established ones who are looking to grow and avoid extra liabilities. Research has shown that thinking ahead and identifying creative approaches to office space and meeting areas can be a great way to save time and money; thereby increasing productivity opportunities. In today's economic climate it's all about flexibility and affordability without sacrificing quality.

Affordable service charges as against the charges of companies who hire out their event centres. Weaknesses New business venture. However, This can be tackled by embarking on an aggressive marketing strategy through all forms of advertising medium such as: TV, Radio, newspapers, internet advertisement, bulk sms adverts, banners and flyers, letters of introductions and all forms of promo. General nature of people to new business ideas. However, we will increase their confidence in our product through integrity, friendship, efficiency and effectiveness of services delivery. Inadequate starting capital to kick off business venture as soon as possible. Opportunities Increase in the rent cost of office facility. High cost of renting event centers for trainings and seminar will give us the opportunity to profit In the business. The rate of unemployment breads the ground for small businesses to spring up thereby giving us the opportunity to provide ready made offices for them. Increase in inflow of business to Ibadan town.
