'A BBC report says that hot desking can cut the costs of running an office by up to 30 percent.'*
Co-working spaces are a popular choice for entrepreneurs and SME business owners. Working from home may be comfortable, but it can also be isolating and distracting. Co-working spaces offer an ideal solution for Entrepreneurs. The benefits are:
Networking opportunities: Co-working spaces bring together professionals from various industries. This creates a great opportunity for SME business owners to network with other professionals and potentially find new clients or partners.
Cost-effective: Renting office space in London can be expensive. Co-working spaces offer a more cost-effective solution, as business owners can rent a space and meeting rooms for a fraction of the cost.
Flexible contracts: SME business owners often don't need a long-term office lease. Co-working spaces offer flexible contracts, which allow business owners to rent a space for just a few months or even weeks.
Collaboration: Working in a co-working space allows for collaboration between professionals. Business owners can share ideas and work together on projects, which can lead to new business opportunities.
Professional environment: Co-working spaces provide a professional environment for SME business owners to work in. This can be especially important for those who work from home and need a more structured productive work environment. *source from HubbleHQ
