From Freelancer to CEO: How Coworking Can Transform Your Business
Are you a freelancer or a small business owner with big dreams and major goals?
As a freelancer or small business owner, it’s common to feel isolated or stagnant in your work. Growing your business is much harder when you’re doing it alone, and working from home can be isolating and unprofessional.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Coworking spaces are designed to help you and your business thrive by providing a one-stop shop for all the resources you need, from networking to space, events, and amenities.
“People who belong to [co-working spaces] report levels of thriving that approach an average of 6 on a 7-point scale. This is at least a point higher than the average for employees who do their jobs in regular offices,” says the Harvard Business Review in a September 2015 publication.
Flexibility
Coworking spaces offer a variety of flexible options to suit the needs of your growing business. Whether you need a private office for focused work and appointments or a collaborative space to network and share ideas with other entrepreneurs, coworking has an option for you.
Our staff is always happy to help you find the right plan for your needs. Depending on the plan you choose, you can have 24-hour access to the space, allowing you to work whenever you need to.
Affordability
Cost can be a major pain point for entrepreneurs, but coworking spaces offer a more affordable option than traditional office space.
“Services such as cleaning, maintenance, and utilities are included in the [fees]. This allows companies to allocate more resources to strategic areas of their business,” says Ibercenter.
By saving money on these extra services, you can invest in other areas of your business, like marketing, technology, and labor costs. Being intentional with your spending can pay off in the long run, making your business more valuable and increasing its growth potential.
Networking
Coworking is the total package – even networking is built into the space. Whether you choose a private office or a collaborative workspace, you’ll always have opportunities to make connections throughout your day, without having to go out of your way to attend networking events!
Our open workspace allows you to collaborate with other brilliant minds, sparking new ideas and breaking out of repetitive thinking patterns.
Even if you opt for a private office, you’ll still encounter countless entrepreneurs in and outside of your industry. You’ll make valuable connections in the community kitchen, by the coffee machine, or just walking down the hall.

Meeting Rooms
As you work to expand your clientele, you may need a space to host meetings for small or large groups. Coworking spaces offer meeting rooms in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your needs. Whether you need a small conference room, a large presentation space, or something in between, we have options to accommodate your meetings.
Resources
Coworking is not just about space and amenities; it’s about people and opportunities.
Picture this: you’re working in a coworking space, surrounded by other driven and creative professionals. You strike up a conversation with someone at the coffee machine and discover that they have the perfect solution to a problem you’ve been struggling with. Or perhaps you attend a networking event hosted by the coworking space and meet a potential new client or collaborator. These chance encounters can lead to valuable connections and unexpected opportunities.
Our staff is always on the lookout for valuable and useful information and resources to share with our members. From publications and educational materials to tools and directories, we provide everything you need to elevate your work and grow your business.
Some of our locations even offer a business library or a rotating selection of magazines and publications in our common areas for members to enjoy.
Any question you have, we can answer it. That’s why we say coworking is a one-stop shop for all your business needs!
