For entrepreneurs that want to be a part of a coworking community without necessarily being out in the open, Private Offices are the best of both worlds.
Get all the benefits of coworking, such as networking, community, and sharing knowledge and jokes around the bean coffee maker, while still having a private area to take client meetings and important calls, or just hibernate with your laptop and coffee.
Private offices are great for established companies as well as individuals, making them excellent for enhancing teamwork or getting your most important work done in peace and quiet. If you’re looking for an oasis of privacy amidst an active community, a private office in a coworking space may be just the ticket.
Some of these are already included in default plans and some comes as add-on to any plan and office you choose:
Be the part of the community in your rules. Focus on your work and making money, we will handle all admin work for you.
You can access your private office 24/7 unlike our membership plans which are limited to business hours.
Yes, networking and growing your circle is good. But sometimes you will need your privacy with your office.
We would like to take a moment to answer some of the most common questions.
