Coworking – The Ideal Space for an Entrepreneur
An entrepreneur’s job is to get everything going on the right track, right from the setup of human resources to the selection of the office space to conduct business from. Entrepreneurs are the core of any business and they divert all their efforts into making theirs and their company’s dreams into reality.
Entrepreneurs who are positively motivated, ambitious, creative, versatile, risk takers and collaborative seem to make the most of themselves and their team members. The workspace that an entrepreneur functions from is as important as the human resources of the company. An entrepreneur takes inspiration from his/her surroundings, and solves problems by deriving answers from those around them. Their workspace plays an important role in motivating them and propelling them into doing fabulous work that ultimately leads them to success. An entrepreneur only stands to gain when he/she interacts with people of different industries, and actively seeks out knowledge from long standing players of the industry, who lend them friendly advice on how to navigate their business and build something successful from the ground up. And what better place to network with the giants of businesses than at coworking spaces?
Setting up a work culture and a holistic work environment builds the pillars of any business. Team building becomes an easy task when there’s a work routine set for team members, and people start taking responsibility for their work, and dedicate themselves towards the betterment of the company. A workspace that thrives on a go-getter attitude perfectly suits any entrepreneur’s company culture. Workspaces make team building an easier process. Members become more responsible and dependable to help unlock new horizons of the business.
An entrepreneur on an expanding stage looks out for new talent which can provide a boost to the business, in terms of reaching goals and targets, and bringing a certain level of efficiency and productivity to the business. To do so, entrepreneurs need to have proper infrastructure to seat their employees and work them in a disciplined manner, yet in a way where employees can balance their social life and grow as an individual also.
Usually, office spaces of many entrepreneurs don’t have any extraordinary facilities and amenities that workers enjoy at Google or Microsoft enjoy; not to compare directly with these tech giants, who shell out tonnes of money on creating a work culture that helps their employees be productive, efficient and more importantly, happy, but in general, workers seek more from the workplace other than just basic office needs. On the contrary, entrepreneurs look at leasing or purchasing office space as a cost which they have to incur in order to run their business, and therefore, they’re quick to be hesitant about incurring any additional cost to make workplace employee friendly.
Managing an office space includes the entire process of selection of the location, setting up of registration, finalizing the interiors and making the workspace operational. The whole process is time consuming and costly for an entrepreneur, forcing them into compromising their business growth, work life and style of employees which could have taken the business to new heights.
Co-working is the ideal solution and space for entrepreneurs to establish their own work culture and style. Coworking spaces are more flexible, cost effective and most importantly, ripe with opportunities to network with other coworking members, making work a lot more interesting, thus creating a win-win situation for entrepreneurs and the employees.
Co-working is known for its freebies – high speed internet / WiFi, unlimited hot beverages, jazzy yet formal conference rooms, informal meeting rooms, cafés, comfortable air-conditioned workspaces with fully functional office infrastructure that are available at economical costs when compared to traditional office setups.
Traditional office spaces include long term leasing and deposits that restrict entrepreneurs from executing their expansion plans. Heavy capital expenditure of office furniture and set up affects the cash flow of the business, maintenance and property tax with annual increases in rent are an additional burden to entrepreneurs which they are forced to bear in order to stay operational.
Co-working spaces are more flexible with lease terms, and provide an alternative plan for expansions of businesses that don’t require any sort of capex and office setup because it has already been set up in a pre-dedicated format. At coworking spaces, there are no extra / hidden costs related to maintenance and property tax. The best thing about shared office spaces is that it’s fully operational from the get go, in every sense. There’s a support staff waiting to attend to every requirement or need of entrepreneurs and their employees, and their focus lies in helping them and their business grow and succeed.

It’s so important to use all resources available to the entrepreneurs, and co-working offices will help increase the creativity and consistency of the entrepreneur.
