Selecting the Right Coworking Space for Your Business

Are you ready to move your office out of your home or out of your local coffee shop? The standard office and the typical workday have changed so much over the course of the past two years, due to the pandemic. Businesses are searching for more flexible solutions, and after two years of being stuck inside, they are ready to rejoin the community.

 

Leasing an office in a coworking space is a great way to have privacy when you want it and community when you need it. You don’t have to be stuck at home to have privacy and feel safe, and you don’t have to be locked into a long term lease to work alongside other people again.

 

You have probably heard the term “flexible office space” when looking at potential coworking spaces. Coworking spaces are considered “flexible options” because they offer plans that will adjust to fit the needs of your business and the way you want to to work.

 

Type of Memberships

At CommonGrounds Workplace, we offer several different membership plans so you can choose what is best for you.

• Private Office
• Dedicated Desk
• Communal

Whether you are looking for complete privacy, a hot desk to work at when you so choose, or a semi-private workspace, you can find it within a membership plan here.

 

Amenities

One of the major benefits about a coworking membership is that it offers so much more than a desk and a chair. Each location at CommonGrounds is unique and offers all-inclusive amenities (so there are no additional charges).

 

These amenities* may include complimentary and speciality beverage stations, printing stations, relaxation rooms, stocked kitchens or pantries, soft seating areas, lounges, wellness rooms, and even fitness centers and outdoor patios.

 

All of these features are included with your membership for you to use at your convenience. Your business will even have access to conference rooms of all sizes that are available by reservation, as well as private phone rooms for the moments you need to take a call away from your colleagues.

 

Locations

Coworking spaces can be found in cities around the world. CommonGrounds has locations all over the United States, so our members are welcome to access our workspaces when they travel.^

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.

 

One of the greatest flexibility options about a coworking space like CommonGrounds is the lack of long term commitments. You have to option to sign an agreement month-to-month, or even just purchase day passes as you need them. There are no hidden fees or pressures of a long term contract; you determine the term that works for you, within your preferred budget.

 

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. CommonGrounds truly is premier in everything we do – premier product at a premier price.

 

Networking

You never know who you’ll meet or how a single conversation could change things for you or your business. Coworking spaces are filled with start ups, entrepreneurs, and business professionals of all trades. You never know how reaching out to someone or starting a conversation could positively affect both of your businesses. It’s even possible that they will recommend you to a friend or colleague if your services do not suit their needs.

 

Networking is another way to get comfortable talking about your business. Especially if you are a new business or a startup and need practice in pitching what your business does and can offer others. There is less pressure, and for the most part, members are genuinely interested in getting to know you and your business because it’s an opportunity to grow their business as well.

 

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.

 

Technology and Security

As technology has advanced, keyless entry has become more common throughout industries and is frequently offered in products with protective features. At CommonGrounds, keyless entry is one of the many differentiating features that will make your workspace convenient and efficient.

 

Keyless entry offers the ultimate protection and privacy. If you were to lose your fob, your Workplace Manager would easily be able to shut off the controls on your missing fob and set you up with a replacement*. You would not have to worry about someone finding your key and immediately gaining access to your private area. The fobs we give to our members are a much more secure method of access.

 

Our innovative technology can also been seen in our printing stations, as well as our conference rooms. Conference rooms at CommonGrounds with four chairs or more come equipped with Crestrons and advanced technologies like screen mirroring and HDMI that make it easy to connect during virtual meetings. If your personal devices do not have web cameras or the proper speakers to conduct a virtual meeting, connecting to our high speed technologies are a great solution.

 

 

At the end of the day, a coworking space can be a great solution for your business. There are endless opportunities and features that will make your workdays more productive and help your company grow. Our teams are eager to meet you, so schedule a tour today!
