Shared Workspace: Sure Fire Signs Your Company Belongs In One

Need more motivation, space, and resources for your business? It might be time to move to a shared workplace.

Maybe you’re starting your business in a garage like Google or Amazon, or maybe most of your employees are working from home these days and you need to downsize your headquarters from a downtown corporate building. Whatever phase your business is in, Nuvodesk Coworking may be just what you’re looking for next. Here are some signs that it’s time to move to a shared workspace.

Does Your Company Belong in a Shared Workspace?

You’re Missing Business Amenities

Shared workspaces come with business amenities that most solopreneurs cannot afford for their home offices, like curated beverages and snacks, receptionist services, conference rooms, access to media technology, or even high-speed internet. Nuvodesk provides these things and so much more to make sure you get to work your business how you want to.

You Need Meeting Rooms

Solopreneurs need to meet with customers, prospects, and partners. Hotel rooms are expensive, coffee shops are noisy and lack privacy, and meeting in your home is just not appropriate. Rented conference rooms in shared workspaces are a great alternative with cost-effective options that convey the professionalism you need.

You Have Difficulty Getting Started Each Day

Working from a home office poses more distractions. It can make it difficult for solopreneurs to get started each day. Those distractions can also inhibit your ability to keep going through the day. Working in your PJs or hitting the snooze 20 times (because you can) isn’t productive. Laundry, dirty dishes, gardening, kids, spouses, neighbors—these things do not exist in a shared workspace. By having a place to go to each day, you will hold yourself more accountable and be more productive.

Operational Costs

It’s possible that your current office has huge maintenance and operational costs. With a co-working space, you could save money. There are no extra bills tagged onto your monthly rent, so you also have less to worry about. If you’re at a stage where relocating isn’t financially suitable, it may be more economical to have some of your employees working from a shared working space rather than expanding your current office.

Shared Workspace: Adaptable for Every Business Stage

Coworking spaces like NuvoDesk offer adaptable solutions catering to various business phases. For startups exploring growth, these spaces provide flexibility without the commitment of long-term leases. As businesses evolve, the need for expansion or downsizing arises, and coworking spaces effortlessly accommodate these shifts. They are ideal for established companies considering remote working options for their teams, offering a balance of professionalism and adaptability. Whether it’s uncertainty about needing more room or reluctance to commit to a traditional office, coworking spaces present a versatile and practical solution for businesses at every stage of their journey.

Diverse Clientele in Coworking Spaces

Coworking spaces are increasingly becoming the hub for a diverse range of professionals. Statistics reveal that 40% of individuals utilizing these shared spaces are freelancers, drawn to the flexibility and community they offer. Additionally, 36% of users are entrepreneurs and small businesses seeking the collaborative environment and resources that are vital for growth and innovation. This blend of freelancers and business owners creates a dynamic atmosphere conducive to networking and mutual inspiration.

Make the Move

There can be several reasons why you may need to relocate your business. Nuvodesk would be happy to give you a tour of our facility to see if it’s the right fit for you.
