While visiting your nearest Starbucks or Costa for a quick cup of coffee, you might have come across people tapping furiously on their laptops, notepads or iPads or in deep conversation with their partners. Some of these people are the budding startup entrepreneurs who cannot afford steep rents of a high end functional office. But, of course, working out of a coffee joint is not a permanent solution. So short of cash, many startup entrepreneurs are embracing shared office spaces these days.
After all, co-working places have everything (and more) they need initially.
Cost-effective: Most of the co-offices offer space at low rates as the total rent amount gets distributed among all startups sharing the space.
[/list]
Flexibility: The rent is decided as per the number of seats you take. You can take more number of seats as and when your team expands (and subject to availability also). They also allow you to receive guests.
[/list]
Networking: The whole place is teeming with startups making it ideal for you to hob-nob with fellow entrepreneurs bouncing off ideas, taking opinions and spreading word about your startup.
[/list]
Cheap food: Many co-working spaces offer food to their clients against the rent. So basically, your rent amount is like a cover charge which gets reimbursed in your food bills. And the food here is comparatively cheaper than a full blown restaurant of this scale and quality. Awesome, isn’t it?
[/list]
Freebies: Apart from a great internet connection, they also provide you the use of the coffee machine, printers, wi-fi connection, meeting rooms, etc. Also, no housekeeping and maintenance woes!
