Bonuses of co-working offices: how to get the maximum for the minimal fee

Coworking offices firmly entered the life of freelancers and young entrepreneurs. It is convenient, profitable, modern, and most importantly, available to any startup. We have already written about the benefits that coworking has over a regular office, but there are also special bonuses that only residents have. We will talk about this today.

Benefits for the members

Opportunity to work at night

This is a great chance to start your own business without leaving your main job. During the day you work at the main job, and in the evening and at night you promote your project. The possibility of round-the-clock work is a very valuable bonus for freelancers cooperating with foreign partners and clients. You can adjust to their time zone and negotiate during their working hours. In addition, at night you can finish urgent projects, submit reports (if, of course, you have someone to report). And, of course, the opportunity to work at night is a gift for night owls. Now they can work when productivity is maximum.

Additional options: shower, gym, games

Another nice bonus that promises to make the co-working office your second home. Agree, it is very convenient when you do not need to go to the gym, but you can only go down the floor below and then just take a shower and go back to work. If you are tired of the difficult work, you can play board games. The company will definitely be there because there is a whole community of people with different interests and hobbies in the “communal office”. There are also co-working centres, which organize their space with humour, for example, there are street trampolines in the Hubba space in Bangkok.

The presence of a kitchen and, accordingly, the ability to cook your own food

Another convenient option for people with special eating habits, those who work at night and just want to save money at a cafe. Of course, you cannot cook soup here (and why?), but it is quite possible to warm up homemade food and make tea. By the way, cookies in co-working offices are usually free. And there is even beer in the global WeWork network.

Catering services

Some coworking centres for an additional fee organize catering, coffee breaks and provide secretarial support – for example, if you need to make a meeting report. This is very convenient. You can hold an event within the walls of your home office and it is profitable – you do not need to pay for meals in the cafe.

Discount on lectures and training

Many coworking centres often hold training sessions in the conference room: workshops and seminars in business, psychology and everything that can be useful for young entrepreneurs. For residents, a discount on attending such events is provided.

But the main bonus, in our opinion, which covers all of the above, is community and communication. It is very important in any business. After all, in co-working, you can meet other companies, start-ups and people who may become potential business partners.
