Have you considered sharing or renting space with/ from another photographer? Many years ago when I was shooting professionally I shared space with another photographer and it worked out VERY WELL. There are a few advantages to such an arrangement. First is that rent and utilities were shared so neither of us had to bear the full brunt of it. Second, was that between us we were able to create a “go to” pool of assistants and stylists. We had the ability to share equipment when necessary and finally, we expanded our network of graphic designers and art directors in the city -- very helpful when growing your business.

A couple of things that made this relationship successful was first and foremost that we liked each other and got along very well. We trusted and respected each other’s opinions and critiques. Almost as important was that we did not compete against each other for business. He shot fashion and I shot food and table to product.
