Why Rent Office Space as a Freelancer?

Are you a freelancer? If so, you may want to consider renting office space. Here are five key reasons to do so. We also offer great temporary offices which can be rented by the hour. If you need to get out of the house or coffee shop for a while, these are great for you!

Why rent as a Freelancer?

Business Opportunity

First, working in an office offers businesses the opportunity to use large scale office equipment, including industrial size photocopiers, fax machines, and projectors, as well as access to meeting rooms. Unless you have invested in a state-of-the-art home office (which, if your business grows, you will probably outgrow anyway), it is unlikely that you can match the technology and productivity of competing businesses working from offices themselves.

Minimize Distractions

Secondly, working from an office or shared office can minimize distractions and increase efficiency for many entrepreneurs. Working from home or from the local coffee shop rarely, if ever, affords an environment as conducive to productivity as that of a professional office space.

Reputation

Thirdly, having an office space can enhance the reputation of your business and make it appear much more professional in one stroke. Meeting with clients can take place in meeting rooms there, which ostensibly makes a better impression than would otherwise be made at the local coffee shop. Having an office space also means that clients have a physical business address to contact. It is imperative that an emerging business or startup confer professionalism; anything less can cost an entrepreneur their business.

Networking

Fourth, working from an office as opposed to home can increase opportunities to network as well. This is especially true of shared office spaces, where several freelancers and startups will share office space so to save money on their rental fees and leases. There, an entrepreneur can meet other innovators in the field and even other potential clients.

Affordability

Lastly, office space is becoming more affordable. Offices are no longer reserved for just large businesses and corporations. With the dawn of the internet and Wi-Fi, virtual offices have emerged whereby any space can be converted into an office. As such, office space can now be rented for much more affordable rates, making them a popular option now for freelancers and startups.
