Co-working is an arrangement where several workers from different companies share an office space, allowing much-needed cost savings and convenience through the use of common infrastructure – such as equipment, amenities and so on.
Although there can be some disadvantages of sharing office space – such as distractions, proximity to competitors and lack of customisations to showcase your brand, the advantages far outweigh these minor issues.
Co-working allows for more flexibility in terms of costs, space and an office plan – such as hot seats and private desks. It also gives you the opportunity to mingle and network with like-minded individuals. Amenities and services are all provided – such as Wi-Fi, shared printers and scanners, meeting rooms, desks and onsite support. Educational opportunities, among others the sharing of ideas and mutual challenges, can also be hugely beneficial.
Whether you are looking for a serviced office, an occasional workstation, a boardroom or simply just a virtual office – there are options to suit every type of business.
