First off, what is Coworking?
Well, Wikipedia says:
Co-working is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office, and independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organization.
What are the benefits of using a co-working space for a startup?
I can probably think of about twenty reasons why a co-working environment is better for you to grow your business. But for now, we’ll just focus on my top 10 reasons. (In no particular order).
(1.) They’re low-cost and provide the typical office amenities
(2.) Networking Events: Frequent networking events.
(3.) Educational Programming: Get some free courses to help you succeed.
(4.) Community Access: Support from local communities. Easy to be part of your community.
(5.) Flexibility: No long term commitment.
(6.) Greater chances for Collaboration with other Business
(7.) A place to work alone and together.
(8.) Credibility: Business address, office, conference rooms to impress clients.
(9.) You Get Creative Energy: Allows you to increase productivity and motivation.
(10.) Make New Friends every day: Plus, it’s just fun. All the COOL kids are doing it.
