Office space is important for running a successful businesss but it is also one of the most expensive items in your monthly budget. Estimating how much space you need, paying for utilities, arranging cleaning and maintenance in an office can be a very costly proposition. When you choose to lease a coworking all of those hassels are of no consequence to you.
Spaces at Coworking are Just the Right Size
There is nothing worse than paying for space and letting it sit vacant or under utilized. Employee motivation can be adversly affected too if they see too much empty space. Clients may view all that open space negatively too. When you choose a coworking space there is space to grow as you need it. The flexibility offered in these shared spaces allows for you to grow without the risk of starting with and paying for too much space. Think about the great feeling when you see your business grow and expand without the worry of starting too big.
How do I Determine How Much Space I Need for an Office?
The following questions will assist you in estimating how much space you need currently, as well as how much you may need at a later date.
How many people do I employ or plan to employ?
How many workstations does each person need?
Do I need shared space?
Do I need private spaces?
How long a lease will I need?
Do I need meeting space, conference room capabilities or a place for lunch breaks?
Do I need copy and business services?
Other Factors to Consider
Employee Happiness: It is well known that employees thrive in a space where they can be engaged, stimulated creatively and can sit, stand and walk around. Space that is colorful and well planned out has a positive effect on a person's mindset and performance too. Collaboration and networking are important to employee satisfaction and longevity.
Company Culture: The days are gone where the boss has a big corner office and everyone else is in a small and sparce space. It's now common place for everyone to sit in a shared space.
Why are Businesses Choosing Flexible Offices?
Flexible offices, shared offices and coworking give you control over your overhead costs. This is because you control the location, size and rental rates for the space you need. Many coworking offices offer short term or month to month lease terms that allow you to flexibly grow or shrink your operations. Seasonal businesses love that they can keep a small staff busy in a small space during slow times, but expand and ramp up quickly during the busiest of times for their companies. Businesses also love that they can use these spaces 24/7. Meeting on weekends and at times outside of the regular work day are no problem at coworking. Employee networking and sharing is a large advantage of these spaces. Imagine that you need marketing services for your company. You may partner with a marketing firm in your shared space who can easily collborate with you to address your needs. Using a coworking office also makes you the "hip" one of your contemporaries. Your clients will think you are ahead of the curve and progressive when they step into your shared space. It's a no-brainer.
