5 Ways Small Businesses Benefit From a Coworking Space
In many ways, coworking spaces were tailor made for small businesses. Let’s look at some reasons why:
1.) Scalability
Coworking spaces offer you the ability to scale up (or down) as needed without breaking expensive long-term leases. Brix’s ability to work with you on a short-term month-to-month, 1-year or 2-year basis plus our wonderful amenities make us a great alternative to traditional office spaces.
2.) Better Value
Built into the cost of your Brix coworking space membership is access to things such as coffee, printers, Wi-Fi, conference rooms, and other shared expenses.
And if you want to expand your operations to other cities and markets, hiring workers that operate out of a coworking space is much easier and less expensive than opening a new office.
3.) Improved Work-Life Balance
Work-life balance is hugely important to workers in today’s connected, 24/7 mentality. That balance usually gets out of whack when you work where you live. A study found that 60% of workers report feeling more relaxed at home since they started coworking.
4.) On-Site, On-Demand Talent
Who’s sitting in the next office or desk? It’s common for a small business to draw on the help of freelancers. In local coworking spaces, you’ll be able to source and employ your fellow coworkers.
5.) Boosted Productivity
If you’ve been operating your small business out of your home office or local coffee shop, the most exciting coworking perk of all is: It’s very likely that moving to a coworking space is going to increase productivity.
People who belong to coworking spaces “report levels of thriving that approach an average of six on a seven-point scale,” according to the Harvard Business Review. Their research shows that people feel more in control of their job, see their work as more meaningful and feel a part of a larger community when they work from a coworking space.
Officevibe’s infographic on the topic shows that 70% of people feel healthier when working from a coworking space, 64% are better able to complete tasks on time, and 68% feel more focused.
One famous Harvard study found that physical proximity to those you work with makes collaborations more impactful, so bringing your team together in the same space can lead to additional productivity.
As you can see, small businesses can gain a lot from operating out of a coworking space.
