When An Office-for-a-Day Would Be Useful
You’ve found that having a business address would help your Google business listing (and keep mail for your company going to a place separate from your personal bills and letters).
You also prefer to keep your home address private and avoid sharing it with your clients.
You’re in a new town for a week on a family trip, but you need a place to work remotely for a few mornings.
You consider posting up at a coffee shop, the sweet, toasty aroma of freshly ground coffee beans tempting you to buy a second latte and the occasional milk frother noises cutting into your calls.
Or, a couple times a month, you need to meet with clients in a space that has private, conference rooms and in a space that supports your credibility and professionalism.
Do you invite them to your home office, or find a meeting space nearby that’s equipped with what you need to project your screen or bring someone in on a conference call?
Let’s face it: working remotely or from home can be challenging as much as it can be enjoyable. Sometimes the nature of your work (updating your client on project progress face-to-face, perhaps) requires you to step out and find a different space. Or, you’re a remote worker who has the freedom to travel and work from anywhere, which is great, until you need a place with impenetrably secure and reliable internet and zero distractions/noise to check in with your supervisor or team.
How Do You Acquire Office Amenities Without the Office Price?
Executive office suites and coworking spaces offer options if you’ve found yourself in any of the situations above. At coworking spaces specifically, virtual offices/memberships and day passes can provide you with temporary, professional work and meeting space if what you need is only occasional access. Coworking spaces typically offer month-to-month agreements that don’t lock you in to an annual contract and allow you to grow as your add more people to your startup team or hire full-time employees as your business needs change.
Membership levels at coworking spaces range from infrequent access to daily, year-round access. You can choose the option that makes the most sense for you, your workstyle, your business, and your travel plans. Whether you need a temporary workspace (one day or a few months) or long-term in that you’re projecting expanding your team and need work and meeting space frequently, you can rest assured that coworking spaces will have the room and amenities that you need to focus on your business.
Coworking spaces have options like “hot desks” (Find an open desk and comfortable chair and plug in!) which is the coworking membership level at Stoke, or more permanent, “solely yours” spots (Leave your monitors and supplies at your desk or in your locking file cabinet!), which is the dedicated membership level at Stoke. DFW is the 5th largest shared office/coworking market in the nation; if you live in Denton or surrounding towns (Highland Village, Flowermound, Argyle, Sanger, Krum, Crossroads, Corinth) working from Stoke keeps you off of I-35 as much as possible. If you’re in Dallas or Fort Worth, you have coworking companies like WeWork and executive office suites, Regus, and their locations to choose from.
