Shared work-spaces are a terrific way to ensure your start-up is positioned for success!
If you’re company is just getting started, you know there are a lot of costs. One of the most significant costs is commercial office space. Aside from the space itself, there are often furniture, utility and general maintenance costs related to a commercial workspace which your business may not be ready to support. As a result co-working office spaces are a growing trend which many start-ups are embracing.
Co-working office spaces are a relatively new concept meant to ensure innovative and collaborative workspaces, without the prohibitive costs many entrepreneurs face when searching for commercial office space. More and more freelancers and small businesses are transitioning out of the isolated home office environment towards collaborative workspaces geared to raise their business to a higher level.
In the Greater Toronto Area, examples of this sort of a space include Acme Works, WorkHaus, and IQ Office Suites. Each of them affords access to terrific workspaces at very affordable prices. In the Calgary Area Commons Calgary, Work Nicer, and The Collective 12 are highly rated options for co-working office spaces. If you’re operating in the Vancouver area L’Atelier Vancouver is a 5 star rated establishment for setting up your business. Alternate options are HiVe and The Network Hub.
Co-working office spaces serve as a hub of activity dedicated to independents at a fraction of the cost of a standard office space. Often, spaces may be rented by the hour, month, or any interval in-between. Such spaces provide a real alternative to buying or renting office space on your own. Furthermore, as a member of the co-working office space you gain access to various amenities such as conference rooms, reception service, shared fax, kitchen and beverages such as tea or coffee to fuel your team.
While you may be keen to establish your team and your company culture in your own space, the co-working office space is a great way to save a significant amount on rent which you can then use to rapidly grow your business and succeed!
