Here are some guides for you to choose the right Coworking Space that you will not regret it in the future.

Amenities in Coworking Space

Amenities in Coworking Space
Will a desk and a chair among dozens of others do, or must you have a private office with a lockable door, file cabinet, guest seating, and even a live plant? Coworking offices run the gamut from bare-bones to fully tricked out. There may be lockers to secure your stuff, loading docks for deliveries, full kitchens, beer on tap, gyms, and game rooms. Some are geared to specific niches such as nonprofits, computer coders, or only women. Sixty percent of the space is designated “quiet” with no talking. Private, soundproof phone booths could also be reserved for calls. Members can use a smartphone app to ascertain who is functioning at any given time, reserve a spot and even unlock the doors after business hours.

Ambiance

Let shop for a coworking space the same as you would for a hotel. “Do you want a standard room with the basics to meet your needs, or do you prefer a four-star environment with high-end furniture, full-time concierge, and upscale amenities such as an on-site cafe?” he asks. “Are you more comfortable with a lively bar vibe or more attuned to a Four Seasons-type crowd?”
Coworking spaces are often sedate or social, so consider whether you would like to surround yourself with people playing Ping-Pong or to be ready to concentrate without such distractions.

A one-day pass with reciprocity at more than 23 Venture X locations will run you about $40, while a shared desk starts at around $195.

Location of the Coworking Space

A coworking space needs to be close enough to home that you’ll use it. Search online for “coworking space + city name.” If you hold face-to-face meetings, factor in its convenience for your clients. Is there many parking and/or nearby public transportation?

Security around the Coworking Space

Security around the Coworking Space
Some coworking spaces are stand-alone, while others use specific floors of a larger office building. Are there security guards, or is there someone manning a reception desk? How do people access the doors and elevators? Is there a way to safely store any belongings you leave at the space? Security is especially important to consider if you like to work off-hours or on weekends.
Once you’ve considered these factors, take the subsequent steps before signing up.

Take a tour

There’s no substitute for eyeballing a space firsthand, give it the once-over. Is the space flexible with ample chairs and tables? Check out the restrooms. Is the kitchen clean? Make sure the landlord and/or building is not in financial distress or foreclosure. Consider the noise level. Some rehabbed spaces act like an echo chamber.

Test it out

Test it out
Ask for a free day pass or two. Then visit during your regular work hours and re-create your typical workday. Are the chairs adjustable and still comfortable after a couple of hours? Are desks the right height? Test the Wi-Fi speed. Make calls. Print out documents. Take breaks and inspect nearby food and drink options. If the space features a kitchen, bring your lunch. Planning on meeting clients? See if a friend can drop by for a quick chat. If have the option, visit on different days. There may be certain days or times that are more crowded or quiet.

Dive into the details

Carefully review the paperwork and contract terms. What are normal operating hours, and does one need to pay extra for 24/7 access? Get a list of any additional fees. Ask to see the conference room schedule. Is it always jammed? Are you guaranteed a certain number of hours’ use each month? Is there always someone on-site if the Wi-Fi goes offline?
