From virtual offices to hotdesking solutions, the world of the flexible workspace has a solution for the needs of almost everyone.

These days, in areas like Sydney, Tokyo, New York, and London it is not uncommon to find more flexible workspaces than traditional offices—and for good reason.

Let’s take a look at why certain types of people are perfectly suited towards a flexible workspace as opposed to traditional offices or working from home or in coffee shops.

 

Who is the Flexible Workspace Ideal for and Why?

One of the major reasons why flexible workspaces are so popular is because they are able to accommodate the needs of various types of people.

Small Business Owners

Small business owners are drawn to the idea of flexible workspace because they can’t always afford to invest in traditional office space, but still, need a suitable place to conduct their business.

Serviced office space is a great option for the owners of small businesses because they can enjoy all the benefits of having an office, without the real estate investment of renting or buying their own.

 

Entrepreneurs

The next big idea might come to you a lot faster if you are working in an environment that is specifically tailored to boosting efficiency and streamlining the day to day operations of a business.

A shared office or co-working setup is a fantastic option for the entrepreneur, providing them with the security of having a dedicated workspace while also allowing them to pick the brains of fellow entrepreneurs.

 

Startups

Startups are often hesitant to rent, hire or buy workspace because they have no guarantee that their venture will be a success and they will see a return on their investment.

This is why flexible workspace is the startups best friend. Options like shared office space or serviced offices are great for startups.

 

Freelancers

It is a major perk for a freelancer to have a base of operation as and when they need it. You can still enjoy all the freedom of being a freelancer while enjoying the stability of a flexible workspace on your terms.

Hotdesking is the freelancer’s go to when they need a space with all the amenities needed to knuckle down and get their work done.

Remote Workers

These days we’re seeing a rise in the number of remote workers employed by larger organizations, on a full-time, part-time or fixed-term contract basis.

But just because you aren’t a business owner doesn’t mean you can’t afford the same ‘privileges’ as one. Hotdesking is a great way to ensure you stay productive and efficient while also allowing you to interact with other remote workers.
