Telecommuting is a growing trend these days. With the internet changing how we do business, most of us, especially freelancers and startups, are lucky enough to have the option to work at home or elsewhere.
But some people may find that they get more work done by getting up to go to an office, surrounded by people.
If you relate to any of the sentiments below, then you might be better off getting a co-work space instead of working at home or in a coffee shop.
You’re tired of coffee shop-hopping.
Frequenting coffee shops to finish projects can be exciting at first but as time goes by, the noise in a coffee shop – including the background music, the barista calling out customers’ names for their orders, and the constant chatter of everyone around keep you from focusing on your work.
And some coffee shops have slow Internet connection. If you happen to be stationed at one, that can keep you from doing your project efficiently.
What you need: A hot desk where you can work without distractions.
You may also opt to rent a dedicated desk for months, and decorate it to your liking.
You need a venue to host client meetings.
Nothing beats meeting a client in person to establish rapport. But if it feels as if you don’t have the right venue to meet people whom you’ll work with, you need to find a space that will allow you to chat with them professionally, and in private.
What you need: A quiet meeting room with equipment for visual presentations, and reliable Internet connection to open emails.
A meeting room is also the perfect venue to host video conference calls, especially with clients based overseas.
You dream of having your own office.
Your business is growing. What once was a lone venture of yours has expanded to become a startup with staff that work on the different arms of your business.
Now that your business is thriving in numbers, using a large space in a coffee shop for you and your group could be causing an inconvenience to other customers.
What you need: A small office that allows you to work comfortably with your staff, and share ideas with one another.
You need a venue for your event.
You’re looking for a place to hold your upcoming event, and you dislike the idea of holding it in a crowded restaurant or a cramped space with too many furniture, and poor lights and sounds systems.
What you need: A spacious function hall where you can make announcements, present ideas, meet and chat with clients/customers comfortably.
