If you are running your own business or are thinking of doing so, basing yourself in a co-working space may prove to be a fantastic alternative to working from home.

It has all the flexibility of working the hours that suit you but the benefit of engaging with like-minded entrepreneurs at a lower cost than renting an office by yourself.

Generally, they are operated on an 'easy in, easy out' basis which means that you are not tied to a lengthy lease and can move to larger business premises whenever the need arises.

A list of co-working spaces in Bristol is shown below.

Benefits of Coworking

In recent years, a significant shift has been observed in the way people work. Traditional office environments are no longer the sole option, as remote work and freelancing have gained momentum.

Working from home has become increasingly popular, providing employees and freelancers the flexibility to manage their schedules and work from the comfort of their own spaces. However, amidst the growing trend of remote work, coworking spaces have emerged as a viable alternative with several distinct benefits that enhance productivity and collaboration.

1. Professional Work Environment:

One of the primary advantages of coworking spaces is the availability of a professional and dedicated work environment. While working from home might offer comfort, it often lacks the structured atmosphere required for focused work. Coworking spaces are designed to facilitate productivity, providing ergonomic furniture, high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and other amenities, which foster a professional and efficient setting.

2. Networking Opportunities:

Isolation can be a common challenge for remote workers, especially those who work from home. Coworking spaces bring together diverse individuals from various industries under one roof. This creates a dynamic community that encourages networking and collaboration. Interacting with like-minded professionals can lead to valuable partnerships, new clients, or even fresh ideas for your projects.

3. Increased Productivity and Creativity:

Coworking spaces can significantly boost productivity. The presence of other focused individuals working around you can create a positive peer pressure effect. It encourages you to stay on track and maintain a higher level of productivity. Additionally, the diverse environment can spark creativity, providing exposure to different perspectives and ideas.

4. Improved Work-Life Balance:

While working from home offers flexibility, it can also blur the line between work and personal life.This can lead to overworking or distractions from household chores and family responsibilities. Coworking spaces provide a clear separation between work and personal life, allowing individuals to leave work behind when they step out of the space, thereby promoting a healthier work-life balance.

5. Access to Resources and Amenities:

Coworking spaces often come with a range of amenities that may not be readily available at home. These may include printing and scanning facilities, office supplies, complimentary refreshments, and even fitness centres in some cases. Having access to these resources can save time and increase efficiency.

6. Overcoming Loneliness and Isolation:

Working remotely can sometimes be isolating and lead to feelings of loneliness. Coworking spaces provide a social atmosphere where individuals can interact, share experiences, and build connections. Engaging in conversations and networking with other professionals can have positive effects on mental well-being and combat feelings of isolation.

7. Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness:

Renting or setting up a traditional office space can be expensive and often requires long-term commitments. Coworking spaces offer greater flexibility, with options for part-time or full-time usage. This makes them a more cost-effective solution, particularly for freelancers and startups with limited budgets.

Coworking spaces present a compelling alternative to working from home, offering a plethora of benefits that can significantly enhance productivity, creativity and overall well-being. Whether you're a freelancer, remote worker, or a small business owner, exploring the advantages of coworking spaces could potentially be a game-changer. By fostering a collaborative and professional environment, these spaces encourage individuals to thrive and succeed.

Gather Round Bristol
Gather Round was founded in 2018 by Ben and Jason after trying and failing to find a creative workspace for their design studio, Fiasco Design. Having established Fiasco Design in 2010 from an incubator space in the centre of Bristol, the studio has moved premises 5 times, expanding as the team has grown. Now a team of ten, when it came to moving again, Ben and Jason struggled to find a workspace that wasn’t an office and didn’t tie them into a long term contract – at extortionate rates. Speaking to other creatives they realised that they weren’t alone in their quest, so they decided to do something about it. Gather Round is the manifestation of two years of hard work, research and planning in an attempt to design and build a space for creatives and creative endeavours. A co-working space that genuinely encourages community and collaboration. Gather Round, Cigar Factory, Raleigh Rd, Bristol, BS3 1QU
