When each option makes sense
Coworking makes sense if…
- Your team is one person to a few people.
- You don't know how long the project or operation will last.
- You need to start this week, not in two months.
- You'd rather invest in your business than in furniture and fit-out.
A traditional office makes sense if…
- Your team is large and will keep growing in the city.
- You'll stay several years and can commit to a long lease.
- You need special installations or full-space branding.
- You have budget for a deposit, fit-out and furniture.
