Have You Considered Shared Office Space?
What is Shared Office Space?
Shared office space is where more than one company has desks in the same office or where a studio has desk space to
rent by the month. Sharing offices can be a win-win solution for everyone involved. It can be a great way for a
company with excess space to generate extra income and for the company renting space to reduce their overheads.
Why You Might Want to Rent Shared Office Space
As many entrepreneurs and new businesses will tell you, renting an office costs a lot of money.
The trouble is that many companies need professional looking offices to help them project the right image to their clients.
Sharing office space or renting some desk space in a studio provides the perfect solution. It is much more affordable
than renting out a whole office yourself and enables you to work from a smart location that you may not be able to
afford on your own.
Of course it can also be very advantageous to share with related companies whose work compliments your area of expertise.
This can help you to generate referrals and grow your business.
Share my Space is a new concept which helps people looking for office shares to search for available space by type of
business as well as location, cost and number of desks.
Even if you're not looking for synergistic solutions, you might still enjoy the social side of office sharing.
How to Choose the Right Office Share
The criteria for choosing the right shared office space really depend on your priorities. However, you might want to
think about the following things:
1. Area
For some companies location is of paramount importance. If they are not near a city centre or in a prestigious location
their business will suffer. If you fit into this category you will need to look carefully at the addresses of potential offices.
If however location is less important to you then you can afford to look for something less expensive.
2. Who You Are Sharing With
Ideally you should share with synergistic companies. In other words companies whose businesses compliment each other. This will help
you to build your customer base through referrals and provide other essential resources.
3. Cost
Think carefully about how much you can afford to spend when choosing shared office space.
Ultimately, sharing office space can be a very cost effective solution for many companies, enabling them to grow their
businesses.
