Coworking Spaces Suit Corporate Needs

Just when you thought entrepreneurs and freelancers dominated coworking spaces, corporations have taken notice of the same benefits that startups and solopreneurs enjoy in flexible offices. Corporate companies are increasingly leveraging the benefits of coworking spaces in lieu of growing their own real estate footprint.

Whether they want to identify their brand with innovation and technology, keep their employees happy, or want to save some money or look better on their balance sheets, corporations are joining the entrepreneurs, freelancers, and startups using coworking spaces. And they hope to fuel collaboration by locating their employees next to those very solopreneurs and new businesses.

Forward-Thinking Identity & Branding

By associating themselves with innovation, collaboration, and technology, corporate brands differentiate themselves from competitors. By working from coworking spaces, corporations better position themselves to hook innovative business opportunities. By collaborating with entrepreneurs who sit alongside them in the coworking space, corporate employees enjoy inspired innovation. The desire to establish a forward-thinking identity fuels corporations’ decisions to embrace coworking space.

Employee Satisfaction

Corporate employees who work in coworking spaces report the same experiences as their freelancing and entrepreneurial counterparts: they feel inspired; they feel in control; they’re learning skills faster; and they’re making more connections while working in a coworking space. The innovation and collaboration appear to be a win-win for both employees and their corporate bosses alike.

Saving Money

By saving companies 20-40% in costs compared to a lease for a regular office, coworking spaces offer measurable savings for corporations that locate an entire team at a coworking space. Avoiding setup costs and overhead, corporations can quickly expand into a new market via a coworking space. Everything is taken care of, including furniture, design, cleaning, and building management. Not only do corporate companies save money on coworking spaces, but they also streamline the process of moving into a new area or new space, saving everyone time.

Leases Now Liability on Balance Sheets

Whether decision-makers are looking to reduce costs or take advantage of flexible lease terms, they respond to pressure to decrease real estate operating costs, including the claimed need for space. In addition to the high price of real estate, publicly traded companies have had to list leases of 12 months or longer on their balance sheets as both assets and liabilities since the start of 2019. Large private companies have had to do the same since the beginning of 2020.

With fears that these long-term fixed financial obligations in clear sight will impact market valuations and credit ratings, corporations are looking to coworking space to keep lease commitments short and, possibly, off of the balance sheet.
