Coworking

What is coworking?

Coworking means working in a shared office space used by people from different companies or freelancers. Members rent a desk, an office or access to the space, often with meeting rooms and shared services included, on flexible terms instead of a long lease.

Why organizations use coworking

  • Flexible terms instead of long leases
  • Space for small teams in new cities
  • Extra capacity when the main office is full

Coworking vs. flex space

Coworking is shared space rented from a provider and used by several companies. Flex space describes flexible use of space inside your own office.
