Why is Renting a Serviced and Flexible Workspace So Popular?

Renting a fully serviced flexible workspace, also known as a coworking space or a shared office, has continued to revolutionise the business landscape. Unlike with traditional office spaces, small businesses, startups, freelancers and entrepreneurs don’t have to be locked into an expensive and lengthy office lease with a real estate.

However, an affordable, flexible and transparent monthly rental plan is not the only advantage to renting a fully serviced coworking space Australia.

All you need is your laptop

As the name suggests, fully-serviced coworking spaces are fully equipped with all the facilities and amenities a company needs to operate and grow their business. This is a major benefit for startups, entrepreneurs and freelancers as they won’t have access to every piece of equipment they will need to hit the ground running.

By renting a coworking space, they will have instant access to a wide range of IT equipment. This can include VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephones, audio and video conferencing gear, photocopiers, business-grade high-speed internet, mouses, keyboards, scanners, printers, desktop monitors and more.

Even the office furniture is supplied such as spacious office desks, secure staff lockers, comfortable ergonomic office chairs, mobile storage cabinets under each desk and more. They feature modern kitchens that are fully equipped with dishwashers, fridges, filtered flavoured water, selections of tea and barista-quality coffee machines.

No need for long-term commitment

Even though flexible workspaces are fully serviced, this doesn’t mean that they are more expensive than leasing an empty traditional office space. To rent a flexible workspace, all that is required is to sign up to a month-to-month plan. There are no lengthy or expensive lock-in contracts and all the costs are outlined in each plan, eliminating the risk of being caught off-guard by surprise fees such as building maintenance costs.

As they are monthly plans, there is no need for long-term commitment. Businesses can rent a coworking space for as little or as long as they require. If business starts to increase, then they can simply upgrade their plan, and if business starts slowing down, they can easily downgrade their plan.

Affordable prestigious locations

People generally think that the closer their business is to the CBD, the higher the costs will go up. With coworking spaces, this simply isn’t true. Renting an affordable shared office space means that you will be situated in a prestigious location such as Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney CBD without an expensive price tag.

Being located in a major city, each location is only a few minutes’ walk to public transport such as taxi, tram, train and bus stops. Apart from avoiding a long commute to work, staff will also be surrounded by many restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs and other entertainment spots. This is perfect for taking clients out to lunch and kicking back on a Friday with co-workers.
