How to best choose office or coworking space in London

Choosing the best-shared office space for your business is vital to making the move a successful one. When looking around, you should consider the following factors.

Location

Where you are based can have a massive impact on your business, from the cost of rent to local amenities available. You may also want to consider what the area is known for, for example, if you’re a creative company, basing yourself in Soho could bring in extra clients local to you.

Amenities

Whether this is in an office or locally, amenities are a huge selling point and for a good reason. Office spaces may offer amenities such as a gym, parking or bike racks as perks, whilst locally you may want to look at access to transport (to ensure your employees can get to work easily), restaurants and cafes as well as shops. This is inviting for any clients that may visit, especially if they travel, as they can experience the local area and leave with a positive impression.

Cost

Startup businesses are typically the most drawn to coworking spaces as they cut costs and reduce outgoings during those critical first few years of business. However, coworking and hot-desking are great for any business to consider.

On the other hand, the cost can rise depending on the size of your office space, your location and your added extras such as breakout spaces and perks such as gyms and showers. Consider what you need and don’t be tempted out of your budget.
