6 Questions to Ask When Touring a Coworking Space
The search for your new office doesn’t have to be hard or stressful, especially when you are considering a coworking space. However, it is important to ask the right questions when touring a coworking space to ensure it will be a good fit for your business.
Read more to hear some of the most frequently asked questions during a coworking space tour:
1. What are the membership options?
There isn’t just one perfect way of working and coworking spaces completely understand that. When touring a coworking space, it’s important to find out what the different packages are to gain a sense of which option will be most productive for you.
At CommonGrounds, our membership options are:
- Communal
- Dedicated Desk
- Private Office
- Enterprise
If you are seeking complete privacy and a locked space to store your belongings – a private office membership will likely be a good fit. If you are considering a space that you can pop in and out of every few days or weeks, with little to no storage – a communal membership might be your perfect match.
24/7 building access typically comes with coworking space memberships, but it’s not available with every package. If you are needing to work weekends or late nights, you may want to consider a membership option that includes those hours.
2. Will I have to sign a long term agreement?
When it comes to flexible workspaces, the length of your term is typically up to you. At CommonGrounds Workplace, you can have a month-to-month agreement, purchase day passes or conference room hours as you need them, or even sign a one year term if that is what works best for your business.
3. What is included with my membership?
We have one word for you: everything. Our spaces aren’t advertised as “all-inclusive” for nothing. A huge benefit to leasing an office from a coworking space is every resource you could need is at your disposal.
Amenities may include relaxation rooms, complimentary beverages, printing stations, conference room hours, fitness centers, outdoor patios, wellness rooms, keyless entry, and more. Amenities do vary depending on the CommonGrounds location, but each space will still provide you with an unmatched experience. All you need is to focus on your job, and we’ll take care of the rest.
4. What is the coffee situation?
It’s on us. Complimentary and speciality coffee* is available to you at no charge during workspace hours. Our workspaces are well equipped with the coffee resources to make your day a little stronger and a little sweeter!
Coworking companies tend to host member events all throughout the year. Attending these events are another great way to meet people in the office and make connections. You already have something to bond over and you are all there for the same reason (even if it’s just to enjoy some great snacks). If you are having any trouble, make sure to connect with your workplace team for recommendations on who might be a good connection for your business.
6. Is this workspace within my price range?
We can’t speak for other coworking spaces, but at CommonGrounds our workspaces are premier, both in quality and in price. When it comes to pricing, our rates at CommonGrounds are affordable and all-inclusive. All-inclusive pricing means that the luxury amenities and features we offer are included in your rate. You get to enjoy the entire package without having to worry about additional charges.
Another differentiator is that we believe in our members getting the “bang for their buck”. Our offices are more spacious than our competitors, and at very competitive rates. We won’t squeeze you into a closet-sized office and over charge you for it. Instead, our spaces are ample and allow you room to grow, all at a fair price.
Feeling more confident now that you’re prepared to ask these questions (and even have the answers in advance)? Schedule your tour today to find the perfect workspace near you!
*Specialty coffee is only available at select CommonGrounds locations. Please see your workplace team for more information.
