What is a coworking space?

Coworking spaces are shared workspaces offering premium facilities at a much lower cost than traditional offices and commercial properties. There are tens of thousands of options around the world that provide dedicated desks, private offices and communal areas where businesses of all kinds work side by side.

From daily drop-ins to monthly and yearly membership, a wide range of leasing choices are available depending on your needs.

Benefits of a coworking space

Collaborative: Coworking fosters a friendly and collaborative work environment, allowing you to network with like-minded individuals.
Fits your budget: Shared offices provide tailored leases, meaning you only pay for the space you use and the time you use it. Leases can be as short as a day or as long as you like.
Flexible: Coworking spaces provide 24-hour access, so conventional office hours won't restrict you and your team. There’s also plenty of flexibility to extend your contract at short notice or to scale up or down.
Fully equipped: Workspaces are fully furnished and pre-cabled, so there’s no need for a time-consuming setup process. You can move in on the day you sign your lease and get right down to business.

Overall, coworking spaces help to improve talent attraction and retention.

What to look for when choosing a space

Location: Think about where your ideal work spot would be. Whether you want it to be close to public transport or clients, your location should be the first thing you consider when choosing a coworking space.
Amenities: Fast internet is a given, but what about spaces for private calls or brainstorming sessions with your team? Perks like free coffee or networking events can make all the difference.
Community: One of the best parts of coworking spaces is the people you'll meet. A casual chat over coffee might lead to new projects, clients or innovations.
Room to scale: Your needs today might differ from tomorrow's. Whether you need to downsize or you're ready to expand, having the option to adjust is key.
