When to Shift home office to a shared workspace

People are adopting the new concept of co-working space. They are moving from their shared office space and day offices to co-working spaces. It is believed that in 2022 5.1 million population will move in co-working spaces. When the trend of co-working space started people never thought that it will come this far. They thought it will stay for a year or two. But because of all the technologies and facilities provided in these serviced spaces people are started moving here. Rather than leasing a whole building for a business renting co-working spaces comes in handy for many people. Real-estate developers have too started building co-working spaces rather than building a whole office building for merely one business. People working from home have benefited a lot from these shared work spaces. Working from home may become difficult at some point and for these solopreneurs leasing an office space just for themselves wasn’t the best idea. Almost 41 million population works from home and now they are eventually shifting to these working spaces that give them a professional atmosphere. Though there are benefits of working from home but there are cons as well which can affect your business. Working from home doesn’t cost you anything, you get a homely environment and you can do things as you wish to but working from home can also make you lazy and distract you from your work and you won’t be able to fulfill your commitments to you clients. Here are some signs explaining that why solopreneurs should move from home office to shared work space: Broaden networking While working at home office you do get the ease of home but you don’t get the opportunity to broaden your network. While working at co working space you do get to talk other people around you that might help you get new ideas for your business or might even help you enhance your business. You get the advantage to make connections and even customers. You might also find partnership advantages while working at a co working space.

Missing business amenities There are some amenities that a solopreneur cannot afford at home office but you can avail these amenities at a shared office space. These few things include curated beverages and snacks, personal care services, physical fitness and etc. Need meeting rooms Soloprneurs might need meeting rooms when they have a meeting with their client and renting a meeting room at a hotel might cost them a lot. At shared work spaces you get to rent conference rooms a lot cheaper than the conference rooms of hotel. Get more productive At home you might not get the productivity that you need for your business.

Striking the right balance between Me and We with Serviced Work Spaces

In Silicon Valley firms, years ago, companies like as Facebook, Google and others embraced the practice of throwing everyone into a giant mile-long room. Why? Because some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions.Scott Birnbaum, a VP of Samsung Semiconductor once stated, “the most creative ideas aren’t going to come while sitting in front of your monitor.” But, are instead designed to spark when you see people from different backgrounds collide and collaborate. But what if you’re not a fortune 500 company, and cannot afford to own big spaces? Welcome the new serviced work spaces that move people. In the sparked new economy, one can bring together fluid, smart and a creative idea under one roof, with creative and serviced work spaces, even if your talent-force is dispersed geographically. A Serviced Office Space that is Smart Business Committing to a fixed office space can turn to be a major expense for a new business embarking on its maiden journey or for a company growing at a fast pace. Let’s take a hypothetical example of Mr. Smith, President of an IT development company based in UAE. As a substitute to leasing a committed office space for his rapidly growing app-based service, he decided to use a serviced office in a prime location.With tentative strategic plans, he wishes to expand to over seven Emirates markets within UAE in a span of 10 months, and the last thing he wants is to be burdened with long-term leases and high-capital expenses.A serviced space arrangement made perfect sense to him. It gave the company not only an existence in major centres across cities, but access to meeting rooms and desk services without being locked into a lease. Even a two-desk space was much more cost-effective to grow in various markets. Flexibility of a Serviced Space Saddling up a 5 years lease in the current leases market with expenses on license fees and Visa’s costs, can be tough when resources are limited. With a growing number of options available in the business space category, one can choose options that offers affordable, flexible lease terms for entrepreneurs, independent contractors, and other businesses. Huddle Meeting Rooms or Open Spaces for Business Incubation The workstations are designed include strategically placed rooms for smaller meetings or impromptu discussions or for those who need to use conference room use on a regular basis.Additionally there are open social areas, a common reception, coffee bar, pantry etc. where all the collaboration and innovation can take place. Multiple Locations With multiple location options it is easy for companies switch, move or expand to other communities without having to worry about investing in IT infrastructure, telephones, utility or cleaning. A Level Playing Field When it comes to capturing newer markets in prime real estate, serviced offices help create a great levelling ground. So whether you wish to test newer markets like Mr. Smith, or try a new product, a fully-serviced office solution will offer just the flexibility (and innovation) – without the risk.
