Work Space Outside of the Home

Sometimes, we need to have a place to work outside of the home, whether it's to concentrate on a project or to meet with clients in a more formal setting than a coffee house. That's were co-working can help. Co-working basically is a shared office space where a group of small businesses or entreprenuers can hold meetings or simply work at a desk. CNBC's recent article entitled "5 Ways Co-working Helps Small Businesses" gives some tips on how sharing office space can be a smart move for home-based businesses and other small companies.

Networking. Getting to know other small business owners can help you make new contacts to expand your business.

Perspective. Having a wide variety of businesses in the same space can be a great way to tap into other experts when you need it.

Balance. Having a separate office from home can help you keep your work at work and your home life at home.

Efficiency. Most shared spaces provide mailing and copying services right on the premises, which can save on time.

Money. Sharing space with others can be a significant savings over renting your own space.


Co-working isn't for everyone, but it might be just the ticket your business needs to grow.

Until next time,
