Today we’re seeing a real evolution in the way businesses are being run. In the past, there was a set idea of how business could be conducted, and a lot of it hinged around having a set place to be with a “one size fits all” style and feel. Today, that idea has really come apart, as we see many companies starting up that are embracing a feeling of fluidity in their style, at least until they develop into a major player in their niche market. All of this is why today companies that need an office space, conference room and training room MA are going in a very different direction, and using shared spaces rather than committing to a long-term lease.

Getting Communal

The idea of starting up a business in a office space with a monthly commitment and shared spaces like a lounge area and a kitchen might seem radical to some business owners, but for many, the idea is working. Office spaces are springing up all over today with environments that are beautifully furnished and fully equipped and move-in ready. Renting out a space that is ready to go as an office alleviates the need for an office manager to take on all the work of leasing a space and buying furniture and equipment. By taking on a place with some private areas like an office space, and then sharing a communal kitchen and lounge area, overhead is greatly reduced, and more flexibility in growth is added in.

For companies that are more mature, this may not be the solution, but for companies that want to stay more lean and ready to explore their options, it can definitely be a wise way to go. If your new company is just getting its sea legs, consider the idea of using a communal work space until it’s time to really “put down roots.” The idea is working for many companies, so why not give it a try?
