Co-working spaces vs. own office – the benefits and disadvantages of shared office spaces

When you run a business, there are a lot of decisions to be taken into account. One of the most important ones is where and how you want to work. The options are countless: Your own couch, the coffee shop around the corner, a fast-food restaurant, mom’s living room – basically any place, where you can get internet access may be a possible office. But sooner or later, you might think about setting up an office at home, renting one or join a co-working space. But this decision shouldn’t be made lightly! While co-working spaces and own offices can provide a long list of benefits, both of them also have their disadvantages. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons.
