Many freelancers and entrepreneurs still have not tried coworking thinking that it is the same as working from home or working at a coffee shop or thinking it is not worth spending the money. However, there are many advantages to working at a coworking space as compared to working at a coffee shop. Here are some reasons why working at a coworking space is better than working at a coffee shop:  

1. Networking Opportunities 

Although there are a lot of freelancers and entrepreneurs who often work at coffee shops, but most people who work at coffee shops are not there to socialize with other people. On the other hand, freelancers and entrepreneurs who choose to work at coworking spaces inherently have a desire to connect with other members in the coworking space. This presents a great networking opportunity for you! 

2. Security 

Have you ever worked at a coffee shop and hold off using the restroom for hours because you do not want to leave you laptop and valuables behind? When you are working at a coworking space, this will not be a problem at all! Everyone in the coworking space pretty much knows each other and the offices are secured with CCTV surveillance. You will be able to work with a peace of mind!  

3. Boost Company Image 

Committing yourself to a coworking or private office lease shows clients that you are serious about being in the business long term. Having a well-established business address improves your credibility in the eyes of clients and customers, and help reassure clients that you will not run away once they award you with a contract! Thus, having a prestigious business address can help you clinch bigger deals thus growing your business.  

4. Affordable Plans

Coworking Space plans are actually more affordable than you think! A coworking space daily pass in Jakarta typically only cost as much as a few cups of coffee. Plus, you will get free flow gourmet coffee (macchiato, espresso, cappuccino, latte, you name it!), tea, mineral water, and snacks! A daily pass will also give you unlimited access for the day, unlike in café where you might have to purchase a beverage from time to time within the day to secure your spot. Here at Avenue8, our coworking daily pass only cost Rp 150,000/day and our monthly pass only cost Rp 60,000/day!   

5. Still Like the Nomad Lifestyle? Set up a Virtual Office! 

If you still like the flexibility of working at different places every day, then get a virtual office to help you hold down your fort! A virtual office plan will give you access to a prestigious business address, back office support (mail & phone handling), dedicated phone number, meeting room and workspace access, and more!
