What is co-working?

Co-working is an arrangement where people from different companies share an office space. Often, these workers are self-employed or work remotely.

So, what is a co-working space then?

Simply put, a co-working space is a shared open office designed to accommodate people from different companies. A co-working space typically requires a monthly fee (one-day fees are also often available). You can access basic office amenities such as high-speed internet services, desk space, printers/copiers, admin support on an as-needed basis, and more.

Why would I choose a co-working space over my home office?

  1. Increase your productivity with body-doubling: Body-doubling is when two people work in the same room but on separate tasks. They use each other’s presence as motivation to stay on task and avoid distractions.
  2. Improve your work-life balance: People with a good work-life balance are often happier and less stressed. A co-working space can help individuals achieve this ideal balance by providing a separate workspace and reducing distractions at home.
  3. Save money as you grow your business: Co-working spaces are more cost-effective than traditional office spaces. They reduce the need for long-term leases, utility bills, and other expenses. Use this extra money and invest it back into your business.
  4. No distraction from competition or office politics: In a co-working space, there is often no direct competition or office politics to contend with because people are working on different ventures. Research has found that working with people doing different kinds of work can also make one’s own work identity stronger.
