Our 3 tips for choosing the right coworking space?

#1 A place that meets your needs

The key point is to find a space that fits your technical needs.

Indeed, you may be looking for a private office, a place with computers available or even a printer.

The key is to set aside spaces that don't match your work habits and needs.

Here is a list of criteria you could consider:

  • The distance from your home
  • 24/7 access
  • a car park/bike room
  • a conference/meeting room
  • A phone box
  • A kitchen
  • personal lockers
  • good network speed
  • A courier service
  • and many others...

#2 A place that offers services adapted to your desires

Once the essential criteria have been defined, here are the additional criteria that will allow you to find the ideal coworking space adapted to your needs.

Indeed, some coworking places emphasis on conviviality and networking while others focus on tranquility and calm.

Here are some examples of additional services offered by some spaces:

  • A welcome breakfast
  • Afterworks
  • A gym
  • A nursery service
  • Rooms for a few nights

All you have to do is make your choice according to your desires!

However, there is so much coworking space available and so many variables to take into account before making a choice, that it may be a good idea to go through a professional.

Indeed, according to your conditions, “near you”, with “private offices” or even at a “low price”, the most interesting coworking will be offered to you.

For example, you can use Leosquare, which allows you to classify more than 300 coworking spaces according to your criteria.
