Potential Challenges (Cons)
- ⚠ Individually owned shops – Each unit has a different landlord, so leasing terms and conditions can vary. It’s important to communicate your needs and clarify terms on a case-by-case basis.
- ⚠ Limited F&B options in the mall – Sim Lim Square is mostly filled with tech businesses, so there are few food & beverage outlets on-site. Your team may need to rely on the many nearby cafes and eateries for meals and coffee breaks.
- ⚠ Competitive industry – You’ll be among many tech vendors and startups. Standing out requires strong marketing, unique offerings, and active networking to draw customers and build your brand.
