There are lots of benefits as a growing business to consider starting out in a coworking space, and with a plethora of options available; the question is how do you choose the best one to fit around your business.

If you’re thinking about joining the coworking community, check out these four simple questions to help narrow down your coworking options.

What Type of Coworking Space Suits My Business Best?

Do you need a hotdesk, dedicated desk or a private office? Depending on how much equipment you have will influence both the size and location required. While a hotdesk is ideal for a remote worker only needing a laptop to work, a graphic designer would likely prefer a dedicated desk or private office, simply because it’s not practical moving multiple screens and equipment.

What Facilities Are Included in the membership?

Many coworking LeadCandy spaces offer free Wi-Fi as standard; however, if you intend to send and receive large graphics files, it might be worth asking how much bandwidth the Wi-Fi can handle before moving in. Most providers will include services such as complimentary coffee and tea, unlimited printing and photocopying, access to meeting/conference rooms, access to private soundproof phone booths and event spaces, however if these aren’t important to you, you may be paying too much for amenities that you will never use, instead make a list of the things you need and cross them off as you go on your tour.

Who are the other members?

Ask yourself; does the venue have a strong sense of community? A top tip would be to ask to see the events calendar to see if they match your interests or if they could distract you from for your work. Finally, if you travel frequently, ask if the membership grants you access to multiple locations. No cost of internet/maintenance. Shared amenities mean the reduced cost of furniture and equipment. No long-term contracts (365+). Networking opportunities & access to multiple start-ups and scaling businesses.
