If you are a home-based start up looking to move into your first
commercial property, renting a desk in a shared office can be a great
workspace solution.
The amount of spare desks available for rental has been steadily
growing over recent years and they are an increasingly popular office
option. These are just some of the ways that life in a shared office
could bring the best out of your enterprise.
More flexible contract
Shared office space is often available immediately and there is
little of the potentially complicated legal process inherent when taking
out a traditional office lease. This means you can get in straight away
and start enjoying life in a buzzing office environment.
Furthermore, contracts are often rolling month-to-month affairs and
this is where a shared office could really help you bring the most out
of your business’ potential. If you feel the need to move or expand to
meet the requirements of a fast-moving market, you are not tied to a
location long-term. This could allow you to move wherever the market
takes you.
Enjoy the buzz of office life
Another good reason to consider life in a shared office is you can
make brilliant business contacts and fantastic friends. You may also
find that being in an energising workplace can motivate you to work
better. You might even have the skills your hosts require and working
for them could provide a welcome additional revenue stream.
Increase your focus
If you find that the buzz of an office is a little too “buzzy”, the
great advantage of flexible contracts is you can find yourself another,
quieter workplace where you can better concentrate on driving your
business forwards.
This is an important factor in your office search, because one of the
great benefits of escaping the many potential distractions of the
home-working environment by renting a desk is that it could do wonders
for your focus. You can enjoy the many potential advantages of having a
clear definition between work and home and even your commute could
become a valuable time when you can get in the right mindset for work.
Additionally, in a shared office the services you access, such as
broadband and security, are often included in one monthly fee. You can
enjoy the many benefits of office life without having to spend valuable
time managing the things that are often necessary when renting workspace
in the traditional way.
This makes shared offices a great option at a time when you need to
focus all your energy on your new business and really work towards
bringing the most out of its potential.
Hang on a second
Shared offices are often great workplace solutions, but of course
there are downsides. You will probably have very little control, both
over your office environment and your workmates. So, if you like to use
specific services, particularly for things like security, then a shared
office may not be for you. However the beauty of such flexible contracts
is that they still could be worth trying out.
