As years have passed by, people have
discerned that and many options are being gratified for the benefit of
start-ups or SMEs like renting offices for a short/very short duration, going
for shared offices, etc. An environment which provides comfort and a sense of
belongingness that is constructive enough for a good working culture. Since
it’s easy nowadays to find shared office space or shared office space for rent or rental purpose but it's required that one finds it in a right
place and focuses on the main purpose of business.
Advantages
of shared office spaces:
Networking:
Networking becomes easier and quicker as one would
be surrounded with similar minds and also may be similar business fields which
could be related or interrelated. Other talented and business driven people can
also connect and expand their businesses effectively.
Initial set up space: Since
people generally hire their offices in already set up business parks or
buildings certain things are already set up like phone lines, internet,
intercom facilities, basic amenities like windows, chairs tables etc. The
owners would generally have to build up space from scratch but, for rented
premises, the basic things would already be done such as tiling, painting,
doors, windows etc.
Better
access to technology: Fast internet access,
telephone lines, fax machines, printers etc. are all very much required for the
smooth functioning of any business which could be availed in shared offices.
Duration
flexibility: Co-working provides one to choose the most
appropriate package suiting their requirement for duration be it short or long.
This is a very distinct advantage as it is very difficult to avail such deals
in normal regular leases.
Motivation:
An environment where equally or more ambitious
people work it gives one a boost to perform well or to achieve more in
business. Group of good co-workers also provide one another a good support
system as and when required.
