Things that you need to remember before moving into  a co-working space.


Co-workers should check accessibility, location, amenities provided and the deals offered by the co-working space. It is not very difficult for very small startups to rent a place and use it as an office. Collaboration, conducive environment, helpful coworkers motivate “inmates” to work hard and party harder. For example, if I get $1000 worth of aws credits from a co-working space, it effectively pays for my seat. Other important thing to ponder is the flexibility and security that the place offers. How easy it is to work late and get food as well. It is highly recommended to do proper research and tour the property before making a final decision. You would find Offices very helpful in your search for the perfect workplace. Happy Co-working!

Off the top of my head, these are a couple of things that I can think of:
  1. Location - Prime business location with access to public transport nearby is important.
  2. Offerings - Do they provide proper desk space, meeting rooms, private cabins. Since I am going to be working 8–12 hours at my workstation, it needs to be comfortable and not too crowded.
  3. Hygiene factors - Do they have a cafe for a quick bite? Do they provide ACs? Do you have access to open spaces? Are the meeting rooms noise proof?
  4. Facilities - I would love for my workspace to have a place isn’t just a bunch of desks, but a meaningful space where I can relax. A gym is an added bonus. So is a crèche - it ensures that your members can work without worries.
  5. Community and Events - Events help in networking with people from different industries. Who knows, my next bit of business could come from someone under the same roof!
  6. Infrastructure - Access to uninterrupted Wi-Fi is a must! Same goes for coffee when you are burning the midnight oil.
One of the good co-working spaces I have come across is Shareofficesolutions http://www.shareofficesolutions.com/about.php in Bangalore. It provides all of these facilities and many more. It even has a gym, a wellness room, a crèche, snooze rooms, a game room and a rooftop cafeteria.
