Coworking has become the go-to choice for freelancers, start-ups and professionals seeking flexible, modern workspaces that adapt to their needs. It offers the perfect balance between community and independence allowing people to collaborate with like-minded professionals while maintaining the autonomy that traditional office environments often lack.
Whether you’re exploring coworking for the first time or looking to switch from a conventional lease, it’s natural to have questions. From pricing and plans to flexibility, collaboration opportunities and amenities, this FAQ covers the essentials to help you understand how coworking can support you and your business.
Why is it called hot-desking?
Hot-desking refers to the practice of using shared desks on an ad-hoc or flexible basis perfect for people who don’t need a permanent workstation. The term is believed to come from “hot-racking,” a naval tradition where sailors working different shifts shared the same bunks. The concept is similar: different people, same space, at different times.
What are the benefits of coworking?
Coworking offers a wide range of advantages for businesses of all sizes, including:
- Lower overheads – No need to worry about utilities, cleaning, maintenance or furnishing an office.
- Flexibility – Easily scale your workspace up or down as your business evolves.
- Community and culture – Enjoy an established, supportive work environment without the isolation of working from home.
- Business support – Many coworking spaces provide access to expert advice, workshops and free support (especially helpful for start-ups).
- Networking opportunities – Regular community events help you connect with potential collaborators, clients and partners.
In short, coworking gives you professional space, community, and room to grow—without the cost or commitment of a long-term lease.
What’s your pet policy?
We love welcoming well-behaved furry friends into the workspace. To ensure everyone has a positive experience, pet owners are responsible for their animal’s behaviour and must clean up after them. We simply ask that all members respect others in the space who may not be as pet-friendly.
Can I use more than one location?
Yes! With Freedom Works multi-site access, members can make use of the amenities at any Freedom Works location at no extra cost. It’s ideal for remote workers, business owners on the move or anyone who likes a change of scenery.
If you’d like multi-site access or want to find out more, just get in touch.
