The Benefits of Co-Working Spaces for New Businesses
I. Introduction
A. Definition of Co-Working Spaces
Co-working Spaces often refers to sharing office space with other people who are either independently working persons or small businesses and is a very good alternative to conventional or home offices. Coworking spaces offer the same amenities you would find in a traditional office, along with a lot more. A major differentiator is flexibility since you don’t need to sign a long-term lease in a coworking space. Every coworking space will always have basics like Wi-Fi, printers, usually, some type of conference room… and some will have tea, coffee, and snacks available.

(Explain these topics)
A. Cost-Effective Solution
Price points are one of the most important factors, and often restraints when looking for a space to work for a startup company. Renting, operating and decorating an office can become extremely expensive but is required to create a functional working space. However, coworking spaces come with all the necessary furniture, electricity and device connectivity arrangements, and other immediate prerequisites that the business needs to start operating on the go.
B. Networking Opportunities
The primary purpose of a coworking space is to encourage networking and collaboration. During a professional development workshop, for example, people can easily engage in conversation over a cup of coffee. which allow them to expand their professional contacts and potentially gain new customers. Especially for startups that rely on word-of-mouth marketing, this increased visibility can only be a good thing.
C. Improved Productivity
Professionals often find the most creative solutions by interacting with different people. New thought processes and unique perspectives are a significant benefit of working around a multitude of teams in various fields and industries and also will develop a healthy work-life balance between your workspace and your personal space. Some workers are more motivated when the people around them are productive and rely on a fast-paced office environment to ensure their deadlines are met.
D. Access to Essential Office Amenities
The coworking communities offer their members verities of amenities and services like rooms for conference calls and meetings with potential clients, outdoor porches, pool tables, lounge chairs and a balcony for relax and workplace supplies like dry erase walls, power desks and other office furniture. Some companies offer much more than the free coffee and biscuits. Anything extra is welcome and will make your employees happier.
E. Flexible Leasing Options
Another benefit of co-working space is that it allows for flexible use to your enterprise’s needs. If you need only two or three desks - you can feel free to just book these desks alone. If you need a whole wing, you can hire it. Meeting rooms are often paid per use, so you can pay for them as required, meaning that you’re never paying for more than you need.
