The 5 Biggest Advantages of Coworking
The face of the economy is always changing, but has even more rapidly in the last decade. More and more people are working from home, starting their own businesses, or picking up side gigs to pay the bills. As fewer people work “traditional” jobs in offices, the demand for coworking spaces is growing, and will continue to. Coworking offers shared spaces for freelancers, small business owners, and contractors to do their work while enjoying the benefits of an office.
What are those benefits? We’re glad you asked! Here are the 5 biggest advantages of coworking:
- Networking
One of the top benefits of coworking is being exposed to many other creative, motivated, and innovative people. You never know who you’re going to connect with—it could be your next business partner, vendor, or client! - Productivity
Let’s face it, trying to work from home can be a hassle. Distractions are everywhere, from dishes and laundry to kids and pets, and of course, browsing the kitchen for snacks. Coworking space gives you a dedicated area to focus, boosting your productivity and minimizing time wasters. - Flexibility
Most coworking spaces offer flexible arrangements and schedules for your time there. This is perfect for part-time freelancers or contractors, who may not want to sign up for a long-term commitment. - Cost savings
Instead of renting an office space with major overhead, or racking up your bills at home, a coworking space provides a maintenance-free place to get your projects done. You won’t have to worry about upkeep costs or additional costs for things like mailboxes, conference rooms, or Wi-Fi. - Social opportunities
Loneliness is a major health epidemic in our country, and people are more isolated than ever. Coworking spaces are great opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals. Chat around the water cooler, grab lunch, or make lasting friendships with your fellow coworkers. It beats staring at the wall at home alone every day!
