The number of freelancers is increasing day by day. For these people, there are two options for work: work from home, or work in a shared space.

No problem! You can find a space at a location of your choice to work out. All you have to do is book the space, drop in and work away.
- just pay hourly not the whole day or month: When you choose to work out of a coworking space you will have access to a dedicated seat and Wi-Fi, whenever you need to work. And you only pay for the hours you use the space.
- If you need Discipline: As a freelancer, it’s hard to get into a routine since your time is yours. But when you book a seat at a coworking space you know you’ll show up and concentrate on the work at hand. In this way, you get some structure into your day.
- If you need someone to motivate you or a context of success: in a coworking space, you’ll have people around you, many working away and that sense of community can increase your productivity.
- Choose based on your budget: Whatever your need or budget you can find a space—you could choose to work out of a fun coworking café for a chilled-out vibe, or a more formal restaurant for a quieter space to work from.
