• Shared amenities, meeting spaces and community events
• Room to scale as you grow, without a traditional lease

Best for: growing start-ups, small to large businesses and professional service firms that desire confidentiality, storage or a space of their own that reflects their brand.

Dedicated desk: your own spot, every day

A desk in the shared workspace that is yours and only yours.

• The same desk and routine every day
• Leave your monitor, notebooks and belongings in place

Best for: freelancers, remote or hybrid employees and entrepreneurs or small business owners who want a space that feels like theirs.

Hot desk: flexible, social and cost-effective

Sit at any available space in the shared workspace. Arrive, settle in, get to work.

• Lower cost than a fixed desk or private office
• Use it as often or as little as you need
• Shared facilities and a wider community to meet and collaborate with

Best for: freelancers who want to build a community, remote or hybrid workers and start-ups who don’t need a permanent set-up.

Day pass: the no-commitment way to try coworking

How to choose the right coworking membership

1. How often will you use it? Occasionally suggests a day or weekend pass, a few days a week a hot desk, and most days a dedicated desk or private office.
2. Do you need your own space? A dedicated desk gives you a permanent seat. A private office gives you privacy, security and personalisation.
3. How many people are you? Solo workers suit passes, hot desks and dedicated desks. Teams usually do best in a private office.
4. What’s your budget? Passes and hot desks keep costs low. Dedicated desks and private offices bring more consistency and privacy.
5. How much flexibility do you need? If your plans change often, start with a day pass or hot desk and move up as you grow.
