Sharing Office Space: What to Consider
Share my Space is committed to making sharing office space or renting small office or a desk
in a shared studio as easy as possible and to help you find the best place for you.
To make it as easy as possible for you to find an office share, we've put together the following tips
that you might want to have a think about:
Number of desks
It goes without saying that the office you choose must be big enough for you. That's why we ask you how
many desks you need when you sign up with us.
Cost
Cost is another factor that you obviously need to take into account. Check out a few different places
before committing to sharing an office so that you can figure out what kind of price is reasonable for the
location you're interested in.
Location
For some companies being in the centre of town is essential whilst for others it doesn't really matter
where you are. Work out what your priorities are (how easy is it to park/how well serviced are the offices
for public transport etc) to decide where you want to be.
Facilities
When you've found a shared office that ticks the boxes above, you'll want to have a chat to the person who
has posted the listing.
Ask him or her about the facilities available (if they are not detailed in the listing).
You might also want to discuss other factors such as:
- Other companies who will be sharing the office
- Local amenities
- Parking
- Public transport
- Whether the company you are thinking of renting space from has ever shared their offices before
- How many people are there in the office
- What does the company you are thinking of sharing with do
Once you have decided what you are looking for from a shared office you will find it pretty easy to select
one from the listings that we have on Share my Space. The trick is to figure out exactly what you need and what
questions you should ask the companies offering space.
