Is Joining A Coworking Space Worth The Expense?

If you work remotely or have a home-based business, you may question whether working from home affects your productivity.

While you thought it would be great to work in sweat pants and prep for dinner during a quick work break, maybe even throw in some laundry between client calls, you’re realizing it isn’t easy to multi-task and working from home has drawbacks.

You distract easily, or the kids want your attention because they know you’re in the next room. You’re lonely and miss chatting with office colleagues over coffee. There’s no one to bounce ideas off of either. You want to land a new client but don’t have a space to meet for a short presentation.

If you’re ready to consider different options for your workspace one strong possibility could be a coworking space.

What Are Coworking Spaces?

Coworking involves people working independently or collaboratively in a shared office space. Some coworking spaces are niche-oriented while others welcome anyone looking for a place to work. The mission and vision of coworking spaces vary too.

Owners of coworking spaces provide equipment and other amenities typically found in an office.
