Newly established businesses, or startups, face a host of challenges, such as struggling to secure funding, managing gaps in knowledge and experience, and getting clients to take them seriously. In this article, learn about how coworking spaces can solve many of these problems for startup companies.
What is Coworking?
Coworking is an office space arrangement that allows individuals and teams from different companies (as well as those who are self-employed or freelancers) to share not only the physical office space, but also ideas, knowledge, and more.
Many businesses are attracted to the coworking lifestyle because sharing the cost of a building, essentials such as WiFi, and additional amenities reduces the overall cost of rent compared to traditional office leases. But coworking provides a range of distinct advantages over traditional office rental beyond just reduced costs. This can include onsite administrative staff, location in a prestigious area, and an environment designed to facilitate collaboration and productivity.
4 Reasons Why Coworking is Ideal for Startups
Coworking plans are flexible, allowing startups to upgrade and downsize as needed.
The journey you enter as part of a startup can be full of ups and downs as your new business takes its first steps, with challenges stemming from the state of the economy, market interest in your service or product, locating sufficient funding, navigating new financial management responsibilities, and more.
As your startup carves out its niche, it’s important to have room to adapt to what your budget and earnings can handle. In addition to being significantly less expensive than traditional office rental overall, coworking spaces offer flexible plans, so there is no risk of getting locked into a long-term contract that you may not be able to afford months down the line, or that may not meet your needs as your business expands and grows.
Coworking spaces provide unique networking opportunities.
Networking is an essential part of success for a business of any size. Chances are, if you are a startup, particularly in a new industry, you don’t have access to the kind of contacts that will mean the difference between success and failure for your business.
In a coworking space, networking is a part of everyday life. You will have endless opportunities to get to know the other professionals, freelancers, business owners in a variety of niches in an authentic way. As a result, you’ll be able to build your network of contacts to include the people you meet in your coworking space as well as the people that they can introduce or refer you to.
The right coworking space will help build your brand image and prestige, helping customers and investors to take you seriously.
Another big challenge associated with being part of a startup is that it’s difficult to get potential customers, investors, and collaborators to take you seriously. After all, as a new business, you have no reviews, history, or record for them to make decisions based on.
It’s therefore essential to ensure that you build a polished professional reputation from the start.

Coworking spaces provide access to otherwise pricey amenities.
Renting and furnishing a traditional office space is expensive enough for a startup. For many startups, the cost of providing employees with amenities that will boost their productivity, creativity, and workplace satisfaction is unaffordable in a traditional office space.
