Coworking office spaces tend to be in central locations, with prestigious postcodes and nearby transport links. With an \u2018all-inclusive\u2019 service that includes facility management, a staffed reception, and access to several types of workspace, startups don\u2019t have to worry about set-up or maintenance \u2013 as everything from WiFi to utilities and furniture is included. This is a great option for startups who don&#8217;t want to spend time worrying about choosing, designing and fitting out their start-up office space.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, in a flexible workspace you gain instant access to a huge network of like-minded entrepreneurs and small businesses &#8211; perfect for startups who want to expand their professional network, make the right connections and grow their business.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different types of coworking spaces, from female-only, to corporate or high-end, to tech-focused. Each coworking space has its own personality and selling points, so if you\u2019re looking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/coworking\/\">co shared office space<\/a> it\u2019s worth doing your research, and pinpointing your must-haves and nice-to-haves.<\/p>\n<p><em>Check out our full list of private flexible\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/office-space\/london\/\">office spaces in London<\/a>, Reading and Manchester.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Find_The_Right_Office_Location_in_London_and_Beyond\"><\/span><strong>How To Find The Right Office Location in London and Beyond\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even if you know which city you want to base your business in, finding the exact location can be more tricky. There are pros and cons to every area, and different locations might be better suited to different types of businesses.<\/p>\n<p>There are areas of London known for certain things; East London\u2019s \u201cTech City\u201d, for example, is home to a number of tech startups, while Central London \u2013 areas like Soho, Holborn and Fitzrovia \u2013 house a range of agencies, creatives, mid-sized businesses and larger corporates. When you\u2019re choosing your office location, do some research on where might be best for your business to grow. Just do a quick search for the best coworking spaces in your chosen area and you&#8217;ll find hundreds of useful lists, like this one: &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelmag.com\/articles\/coworking-soho-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coworking Spaces in and around Soho<\/a>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider the local area. A great office layout with beautiful d\u00e9cor is all well and good, but if it\u2019s far away from any transport links with nothing to do in the surrounding area, it\u2019s likely to cause dissatisfaction in the team, not to mention make it difficult to meet with clients. When you\u2019re choosing your HQ, try to think long-term \u2013 is this location going to help us to thrive and grow as a business in the next 6-12 months and beyond?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23359\" src=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3.jpg\" alt=\"A team working together in an open plan start up office space \" width=\"2125\" height=\"1418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3.jpg 2125w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl3-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2125px) 100vw, 2125px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Desks_Do_I_Need_In_A_Start-up_Office_Space\"><\/span>How Many Desks Do I Need In A Start-up Office Space?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A startup\u2019s workspace requirements can change drastically in a short space of time, so it\u2019s important to keep the design of your office space as flexible as possible. As with your workspace location, try to think ahead when planning your office design \u2013 if you hire 10 new people, is your space going to be able to accommodate this growth?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a coworking office space, you get the benefit of being able to up-size or down-size your space as and when you need to. If you\u2019re going for a traditional leased office or a managed office, think about your future hiring plans and how you can design your space to accommodate a growing team. There\u2019s no point renting an office space with room for 10 desks, if you\u2019re looking to recruit 30 new people in the next year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to find your ideal office space?<\/em><em> Book a <a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/book-a-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">startup office tour<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start-up_Office_Design_and_Decoration_Ideas\"><\/span>Start-up Office Design and Decoration Ideas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a startup, collaboration and teamwork are key. When looking for your startup office space, make sure there\u2019s some kind of common area or kitchen where your team can meet to socialise, as well as clearly signposted areas for meetings, focused work and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Many startups choose to adopt agile working, where their employees work in the way that best suits them, utilising different types of workspace to achieve their best work. An agile office design might incorporate private workspaces to focus, meeting rooms to collaborate, and more laidback &#8220;breakout&#8221; areas to talk through projects. Agile offices make it easy for employees to move around between workspaces; with different areas to optimise different types of work, and the flexibility to also enable part-time home working.<\/p>\n<p>Your startup office space also needs to be a reflection of your brand and identity. As a new business you want the world to know who you are and what you\u2019re about, so when designing your space, brand your office with your logo, and make sure any other colours you&#8217;re able to add are part of your branding. Your startup office d\u00e9cor and setup should be professional, but a reflection of who you are as a company. After all, you want any guests, clients, or anyone walking past to get a clear sense of your business from stepping into your workspace environment.<\/p>\n<p>Some other great office decorating ideas include bringing in plants and art to brighten up the space, choosing ergonomic desks and chairs to improve comfort and safety, and ensuring there\u2019s plenty of natural light around the space to keep your team productive. Remember: the best startup office design is one that keeps your team happy and motivated at work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23360\" src=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4.jpg\" alt=\"A start-up team working together in a new start-up office space \" width=\"2125\" height=\"1418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4.jpg 2125w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wl4-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2125px) 100vw, 2125px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start-up_Office_Equipment\"><\/span>Start-up Office Equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a start-up, there\u2019s some office equipment you can\u2019t do without. Start with the basics: Wi-Fi and computer systems. It goes without saying that no office can function properly without these. When you\u2019re choosing your start-up office space, find out whether Wi-Fi is included or not. With a coworking space or a managed office, it\u2019s usually included in your monthly bill, but in a traditional leased office, you\u2019ll need to manage and pay for it yourself. The same goes for a phone line, scanners, printers and office furniture like desks, chairs and whiteboards.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re renting a leased office, the likelihood is that you\u2019ll need to completely fit out the space yourself, so you\u2019ll need to factor in the costs of start-up office furniture, office decoration and connectivity. Likewise, if you\u2019re not planning to rent a serviced office where all furniture is included, some great start-up office furniture ideas include investing in ergonomic desks and chairs, guest chairs, quality meeting room furniture, and ample storage. When you\u2019re searching for office space, make a list of everything you want to be in the space and work out how much it will cost to fit it out and furnish it yourself. This will help you decide between a serviced office space or managed office space, vs. a traditional leased office.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, there are also some start-up office supplies you need to remember. Think desk essentials like stationery, post-it notes, staplers and folders, printer paper, filing systems, paper shredder, and monitors \u2013 plus extras like coffee machines and kitchen facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Start-ups need office spaces that are flexible, cost-effective and collaborative. Finding office space that ticks all of these boxes can be difficult. With clear start-up office needs, it\u2019s important to plan in advance, and take into account all of the factors when making a decision: including the type of workspace, location, size, office space design, office d\u00e9cor, and layout.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for business start-up office space in London, Reading or Manchester?
