Scale

We now need to move from our current premises because the 1500 square foot office is now too cramped for a:

a. Four pizza company (up from a two pizza company less than a year ago)
b. Three bathroom group (there is a now a que outside the two that we have)
c. Four server shop (up from a single customer server)
d. Five group heads (up from a single leadership role)

Why is scale expensive and difficult

a. Its next to impossible to find a decent office with three bathrooms, parking space for 10 cars, uncongested location and a nice open and airy environment. Shahrae-Faisal has more than enough space but it's basically all crap. (parking, water, location, building, structure problems galore)

b. To be fair space is available but not in our budget. If you could afford Forum at Rs 70 per square foot, IBM Tower at 70 per square foot or the new Faisal bank building also at 70 per square foot.

c. If I had any money I would put it into half way decent commercial real estate with ample parking in a nice location. Heck forget the real estate, I would just build multistoried parking lots for a great ROI

d. Getting to 25 people was easy because scale was not required. Going from 25 to 50 will be painful.

But the good news is that the book is done. If I could turn that into a best seller, maybe I could afford a few square footage in IBM Tower. Should be out on Amazon sometime before the end of this month.
