The 5 biggest advantages of coworking space
At a coworking space, you share your workplace with other entrepreneurs. Some will embrace this idea, while others will prefer a private office space. Before you can decide on choosing a coworking space, it is important that you weigh the pros and cons against each other. In this blog, we will provide you with a list of all the different advantages of a coworking space. In addition, a checklist will be given to help you with your search for the perfect coworking spot.1. Free feedback and potential collaborations
As a freelancer or self-employed, most of the time you will work alone. This definitely has its advantages, but you will undoubtedly miss the occasional input or opinion of a colleague. At a coworking space, you have the possibility to discuss with like-minded. You are surrounded by other entrepreneurs out of multiple sectors.
These entrepreneurs all have the same passion and ambition for entrepreneurship. There is always someone who can answer your questions or who can inspire you when you need it. Next to this, it is very common that entrepreneurs see potential in doing a collaboration with another entrepreneur who can help his company to a higher level.

As a starter, it is most of the time difficult to directly rent office space, let alone to buy office space. Though, you can already have reached a certain level that asks for the ability of a private office in which you can, for example, receive your clients or have meetings. A coworking space is the perfect affordable alternative that still has the benefits of private office space.
3. Flexibility
Having your own office space is fine, but you have to sit in the same space day in day out. This is not the ideal situation for all entrepreneurs. If you need more freedom for your workplace, a coworking space is a perfect idea. A coworking space also gives you the flexibility of switching cities if the situation, demands or needs of your company changes.
4. Increased productivity
If you are used to working from home, a coworking space can increase your productivity. At home, you are more likely to get distracted by other things. Besides, you will take a break faster or finish a household task while you should be working. The line between your work and private life is also smaller.
"The spirit of coworking allows you to find coworkers who are worth working with.” - Cynthia Chiam
A coworking space makes sure that you are surrounded by other people who are constantly focussed. You will not be distracted that easily anymore and you can start working from the moment you enter your office and finish when you leave. This makes it easier to let go of your work when you are at home.
5. Educational
A coworking space is a place to be when you want to keep learning. It is a workplace with lots of expertise in different domains. Take your chance to ask for help from more experienced entrepreneurs and to gain more knowledge. In this way, you are able to improve the growth of your company and you will build a great and wide network.
