If you are looking for some business or startup and want to become rich then Invest & Open a CoWorking Space.

Friends, I genuinely believe that Co-Working is the future of Office Spaces and giving dimension to developed real-estate. We at Rent Vestr and OfficePostBox want to help entrepreneurs as we think everyone should be able to work remotely. It’s evident now that co-working spaces allow much better productivity than working from your home, some coffee shops or even offices.

I am one of the many success stories who have gained from working from co-working spaces to shape my startup Spare Rooms & OfficePostBox to next level, & many more examples are there to share. My fellow co-workers (term used for people working from Co-Working spaces) are credited with high productivity, work ethics with open mind & friendships with likeminded. Not only have I been a member of Co-Working since 2016, I’ve till now referred literally hundreds of people to coworking spaces through networking and my website blogs.

At the same time I really want to help Co-Working spaces to become better as I always look to work from better spaces & happy to pay for it. I am based out of SpaceJam Coworking in Chandigarh and I love the way they value their each member. Now I’m promoting the culture of remote working, location independence, and give entrepreneurs cool places to work from wherever they are in the world. Soon I’ll be sharing the best co-working spaces city wise in this part of world.

Smart Investment option 

As we all are aware that, now days the biggest cost for any business is real estate. Those who own the real estate having large developed office spaces can enter into coworking or shared office spaces business. It makes sense i.e. If you give your space on lease to a company then they may or may not be able to afford the high rent. Either they will run out of business or they will shift to less expansive space. So build your own shared office space and let out portions, chairs or cabins to different companies or start-ups. They are easy to find and once it’s full it will give you better returns as not all the occupants will leave same day.

WeWork biggest coworking company in world entered India and expanding aggressively. They need more foot prints in India. Recently, Oyo the hotel booking company entered into coworking space by acquiring INNOV8 Coworking for whooping 200 crores. It’s still beginning of big things to come. So ride the wagon and turn the wheel of fortune and take our help to open exciting coworking space and make money.

Now let’s discuss how to build a perfect coworking space. At the end of the day, opening or finding the perfect coworking space is bit complicated. But without a doubt Shared spaces & coworking is the future of work.

Let me share with you the checklist for Co-Working must haves.

  1. Location – It’s the Key.
  2. Coffee – Need access to cheap good coffee in Pantry.
  3. Water – Required unlimited free filtered water.
  4. Wi-Fi – Stable & fast enough wifi to use.
  5. Natural Light – it saves on energy with big windows with natural light.
  6. Artificial Light – The space decorated with bright & comfortable lighting.
  7. Design – Interior is very important, Ergonomic design is must.
  8. Chairs – Comfortable enough to sit in for a long working day.
  9. Tables – Correct height to be comfortable.
  10. Nature – Enough plants, trees or green to feel grounded.
  11. Meetings – Have one or two meeting or conference rooms & Community area.
  12. Timings – Open 24 hours or late hours and open on weekends.
  13. Value Price – Space membership to have a good value not to be overpriced.

I must say just like any business, location is the key and sometimes can make or break a coworking space. Now let’s focus on basics, that being said, there is always enough room and growth in Coworking for there to be a successful space in virtually every area or city around the world. My super tip is, be the first one to open space in area where doesn’t yet have one. Simply fill the gap will make you the “the” choice until a better co-working come along.

Its very important to build a better Coworking space. People don’t realize value creation and are short sighted as they built cheaper, smaller or otherwise inferior spaces and tried to compete on price, which can lead them to failure and to close within months of opening. Here is a list of must haves in a coworking space.

Space Must Haves 

Hi speed Internet – It needs to be fast and stable. Co Working Space can opt for 2 service providers simultaneously as backup. On full capacity logged in people will be doing downloads, uploads and most importantly one need to be able to have video call without it dropping.

Coffee & Pantry – Everyone need coffee, a good coffee. Aside from hi speed internet & comfortable chairs, free good coffee is one of the main reasons why people opt paying a monthly membership for a co-working space. Provide a Cafeteria or Pantry so people can enjoy their lunch. It’s always a plus point if there is cafe nearby within walk of the coworking space which provides good cheap lunch and coffee.

Water – Install a RO Machine instead of buying 20 ltr water bottles as unlimited free filtered drinking water is a must. Many co-workers are tenant in city so encourage your members to refill their water bottles, even to take home.

Appliances – Although fancy coffee makers seem to be the norm in coworking spaces now a days. A fridge, Microwaves can add to facilities where co-workers feel valued. Place 2 to 3 LED TVs on places from where they are visible to all.

Play & Leisure Room – It’s always good to have some indoor games like Chess, Carom, Zinga or if you have space then put foosball Table as well. Make some corner a lazy corner where Big life size pillows and some Net is paced for relaxation.

Ergonomic Design – Space should have design which can help in mixed use of things so it should not look boring and at the same time positive flow of energy.

Chair – You must be wondering what am I talking about, as their will be chairs for sure. But I need to mention it as Chair should be of this design and must be comfortable for long seating hours. Do not use cheap chairs or chairs without cushion.

Chair has to be like this for Cabins and hot desks. Net Back and rolling chair for comfort.

Opening a coworking isn’t that simple, Actually it’s an art. We need to keep in mind that many single entrepreneurs will come for space as many coworkings make silly mistakes like not having hot desk memberships & have a lobby space or only fixed desks. Over the top they buy terrible furniture & sometimes bad buildings or locations all together.
