To get a sense of my options, I sent a brief email to professionals in the counselling, chiropractic, naturopath, massage therapy, and physiotherapy fields in that part of town to introduce myself, and to inquire if they had any space to rent. Not only was I very pleased with the number of responses, but also about the useful information I gained when meeting with many of these individuals.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->This is what I learned about my options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I could give the proprietor a percentage of my revenue for the use of their space;<\/li>\n<li>some organizations rent office space on as little as a half day basis;<\/li>\n<li>there are property management companies that can broker my office space use;<\/li>\n<li>I can sign a lease with an existing business and have exclusive use of office space; and<\/li>\n<li>some professionals already in private practice augment their income by renting their office on a per use basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/calculator-385506_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6073\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/calculator-385506_640-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"calculator-385506_640\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/calculator-385506_640-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ccpa-accp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/calculator-385506_640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these options including the potential for referral, working within a multi-disciplinary environment, specific location, and the atmosphere of the actual space.
