How to choose your coworking space?

To guide you in your choice, here are five criteria to keep in mind:

1. Accessibility

To simplify the lives of the most remote professionals, many coworking spaces have been set up around the BTS and public transport. Others have settled in rural areas and welcome freelancers, micro-entrepreneurs as well as salaried teleworkers. Also, pay attention to the opening hours. Depending on your needs, weekend or evening access will be useful. It’s not necessarily possible everywhere.

2. Specialization by profession

What services are offered in a coworking space?

Desktop: What coworkers look for above all in the coworking space, you have created a place where they can work. It is, therefore, essential to put a work station at their disposal before anything else. Depending on your coworking layout, you can offer closed offices or open offices in open space. The closed offices will correspond to professions held by professional secrecy such as lawyers. Simultaneously, the public spaces will be entirely suitable for freelancers, freelancers or small businesses are looking for significant synergy effects.

Whatever the type of office offered, two formulas exist for renting workstations: a reserved and exclusive workstation without limit during opening hours. The coworker pays the same rate each month regardless of the time spent in coworking. On the contrary, the nomadic package allows coworkers to pay only for the coworking space time. Therefore, they do not have a reserved workstation but settle where they wish within the limit of available places. They then pay by the hour or by the day.

To set up these workstations, the coworking manager must provide coworkers with desks, chairs, lamps, electrical outlets, or storage spaces to leave their personal belongings in a secure place when they are away.

Office and telecommunication tools: For coworkers to work in the best possible conditions, coworking must also provide them with a certain number of office and communication tools.

Coworking can also offer coworkers a printing and photocopying service. The latter will have a high cost in the operating expenses of coworking. Consequently, to amortize this cost, this service is offered either for a fee or free of charge, but with a value that is mostly reflected in the price of the monthly plan.

Finally, access to telephone lines can also be a significant asset. These can be common to all users. In this case, they will often be in a soundproof room and will mainly allow you to make calls. However, they can also be private and dedicated to a single user. Some occupations that use the phone extensively or need to be reached on a different line from their cell phone may need this type of service.

Services meeting specific needs for coworkers’ activities: Another way to distinguish yourself from competing for coworking and to satisfy coworkers are to provide them with several premium services linked to their businesses and to which they will have access to self-service. For example, a 3D printer or laser cutters will attract several engineers, during a photo the studio will appeal to image specialists. These offers can be included in the monthly package or offered as a supplement.

Meeting rooms: Whether independent coworkers to receive their clients or companies to meet during meetings or brainstorming, all will need at one time or another a meeting room away from the open space. Furnished with large tables, chairs, video conferencing equipment, and flipchart, it is essential in any coworking.

A domiciliation service: Offering a business domiciliation service can also appeal to a large number of coworkers. This service consists of providing a professional address to coworkers by allowing them to set up their business at the address of coworking. Thanks to this, they will gain significant credibility. Their customers and prospects and will no longer be disturbed.
