27 Jul Starting Your Own Co-Working Space
Today’s workforce is independent, mobile, and entrepreneurial. Gone are the days of working the same job for decades until you retire. Workers today don’t want to be tied to an office and want to be their own bosses—and to do so, they are turning in increasing numbers to co-working spaces. Co-working allows entrepreneurs and small businesses to share an office space, so that they have the professional benefits of an office without the expenses of maintaining their own physical location. The demand for co-working spaces is constantly increasing, which means starting one can be lucrative. If you are considering getting into the co-working business, these tips will help.
Know Your Market
Where you live has an impact on the demand for co-working in your community. Urban areas with a large population of young professionals have the most need for co-working, but don’t rule out co-working in suburban areas and smaller communities. Ask professionals in your area and visit local business meet-ups to gauge the interest in your town. This will help you select the right space for your business.
Add the Right Features
Make sure you co-working space offers the features than entrepreneurs need. For example, offer private offices and meeting spaces that can be reserved as necessary for client meetings. Offering periodic guest speakers, educational programs, and social events will make your space attractive to people seeking a co-working environment and will especially help you stand out in areas in which co-working spaces are common.
Provide Office Equipment
Co-working makes entrepreneurship more affordable by providing access to equipment that is often too expensive for individuals to purchase on their own. Make sure you have an adequate number of things like document scanners, printers, and copiers for everyone who uses your co-working space.
