After a long haul we finally found the office of our dreams. It took alot longer than we thought and was a learning curve. Heres a few pointers for you if you are looking for office space.
*Once you lease/rent an office / shop unit, you are liable for any unpaid rates on that part of the building. Check out if there are any arrears before signing a lease. You can do this by contacting your local County Council office - the contact for Co Kildare is Oliver Reilly.
*The going rate for rent is €1 per sq ft in this area. We were quoted upto €3 - It pays to shop around.
*We needed a flexible arrangement - enough office space so we can expand comfortably. Again, it paid off to shop around.
Here are a couple of other items on our check list:
Affordable
Access to Broadband
Bright and spacious
Natural light (very important to me as I have mild SAD)
Nice view (that was the icing on the cake, hopefully we will be so busy that we wont have time to indulge )
Affordable
Friendly "neighbours"
Local to home (didn't want to spend an hour commuting each day)
Access to boardroom
Our lovely new working home is Office 1&2 Shawlocke House, Kilcock, Co Kildare.

I hope to make it to Bizcamp. I heard great things about the one held in March.
