More often than ever freelancers, remote workers, and other independent professionals are opting to conduct their day-to-day work in a coworking space. Instead of a traditional cubicle or makeshift set up in a coffee shop, they’re choosing to share an open, non-traditional workspace. According to a recent survey taken at the Global Coworking UnConference, an annual event that explores the various ways we work today, 84% of attendees said they are more engaged and motivated while working from a coworking space than from their homes.

But why pay for a coworking space when your business can be based directly from your home? Despite what you might be thinking, coworking spaces come with several advantages over home-based businesses.

Here are a few reasons why a coworking space may be a good workspace option.

• Coworking is an affordable way to maintain an office space within a shared communal environment equipped with all the necessary resources and support services.

• You’ll find that networking, both professionally and personally, happens quickly and organically within a coworking space. You’ll encounter people from all sectors of business who may serve as a useful connection in your future.

• Unlike most conventional office spaces, creativity flows freely in a coworking space. Open coworking spaces allow for constant collaboration. So sharing ideas, getting feedback, and brainstorming happen naturally.

• Not only will you connect with other business-minded individuals, but you’re likely to grow your client base as well.

• A coworking space is much more than just a kitchen counter. Unlike the distractions of a home office, coworking allows for maximum productivity.

You may have never considered the impact a coworking space can have on the success of your business. But if you’re looking for an affordable office space that encourages collaboration and increase productivity within your business, a coworking space is an effective, proven way to accomplish your goals.
