Reasons To Choose Co-working Space Over Working From Home

Fine for self-starters and responsible folks; not so great for junior and/or unproven teammates.

One might have to go long lengths in trying to rectify this problem.

Conflict Between Home and Work-time:

Although one might think working from home means doing less, the opposite might be true for diligent employees. When there is no separation from you don’t have that separation of going to and from the office, your workday fits and conflicts directly with your home life. Feeling like you’re always “at work” could even lead to a psychological burnouts.

Trust worthiness and Reputation:

Working from home is a great way to cut cost on rent and transportation until you have to meet clients. This happens especially when you render certain services that require you meeting up with the client to wrap up discussions. Having an office or co-working space goes a long way to win over the clients confidence in you and your product. In cases where one might want to win grants or investors working from home doesn't help much in marketing your brand, service or business.
