What is coworking space?
Instead of the traditional office for rent, an autonomous space for a business to operate in, coworking space are individual spaces to rent, along with a lot more. Workers from various companies share an office area, each with their own space, but with shared amenities. A major differentiator is flexibility since you don’t need to sign a long-term lease in a coworking space. Every coworking space will always have the basics like WiFi, printers, usually, some type of conference room.
Reasons why you may not like coworking.
The main reason why business owners do not like coworking space:
- Extra costs: If you should maintain your own office in addition to a coworking space, leaving a home office for a coworking space adds additional expenses.
- Potential for distractions: Noise levels in coworking spaces can be distracting and some people simply do not work well in a hectic environment or a noisy one.
- Inconsistent availability: Some coworking spaces may not be consistently available.
- Lack of personalization: Coworking spaces may not offer customization to individual needs.
- Lack of interoffice conversations and sharing of information which you find in one office for one company.
