FINDING YOUR IDEAL OFFICE SPACE

In the article Traditional Workspace or Virtual Office? Three Tips for Founders to Consider, they discuss the 6 fundamental needs people seek to meet through work. The needs we seek are the feeling of achievement, autonomy, belonging, sense of purpose, sense of security, and status. They believe that both traditional office space and virtual offices can fulfill these needs, and that it is about finding the right fit as a startup business founder. Of course, there are financial setbacks when finding startup office space. Most founders cannot afford to spend funds building their own office but want the appearance of a professional office. But renting commercial office space “can come with a hefty monthly price tag”. This is why I think that coworking spaces are ideal for new business owners.

The article also gives tips for founders to consider when starting their business. The first being to “obtain a work mailing address”. They suggest getting a P.O box, but to avoid having it sound like one. This allows you to look professional, even if you do not have a professional office space yet. The second and third tip are to use free virtual conferencing tools and to find conference room options with low rates. Utilizing free or inexpensive space is best when starting your business. But overall, as a new business owner, you should “create your own combination of traditional and non-traditional methods to achieve optimal space conditions”.

WHY COWORKING SPACES ARE HERE TO STAY

Another article, Why Coworking Spaces Are Here to Stay, explains that “young entrepreneurs are looking to coworking facilities to grab relatively inexpensive office space”. Because of today’s technology, “an office worker can be mobile and an on-the-go entrepreneur would simply be wasting money by paying for a full time office”. The use of non-traditional office space taps into some of the fundamental needs I mentioned. We want autonomy, the freedom to not work in one space for 8 hours a day. But as social beings, we still seek for a sense of belonging and interactions with colleagues. Coworking office space helps bring these two needs together. This is why “young entrepreneurs with new companies that require very little office area are starting out in coworking spaces to save money and meet others to collaborate with”.

Have you been considering whether you should outsource some of your needs? Do you wonder if that would be a sound decision for you? Are you concerned that the cost will outweigh the benefits? Would you like your questions answered? For all these things and more, please keep reading as I discuss outsourced non profit services.

Budgets

Non profits tend to be on very tight budgets. Because of this each member ends up covering a lot of roles. Sometimes the roles they are covering are quite difficult and time consuming. Other times, there are no members qualified to take on those roles. This is where a non profit might wish to look into alternatives. These alternatives are outsourced non profit services and have a wide variety. Some non profits need help with their taxes as they are more complex than most. Others need assistance with day to day accounting. There are also those that need assistance with just payroll. The main point is that each non profit is different and due to those differences need different areas of assistance.

Solutions

With Officense, we offer you a large line of choices for outsourced non profit services. You can utilize us as one stop shop for your needs. What is even better is that as well as having a wide range of services, you only pay for what YOU need. We are very customizable.

There has been some great strides to end the worldwide effects of COVID-19. The global pandemic has impacted the business world drastically, causing owners and clients alike to adjust to a completely new norm.  Renting a private office for your work needs will help aid in the adjustment to this new realm.

Co-working was once to be the new way forward for many companies, given the current world climate, it is no longer the best option. Companies have leaned towards co-working in the past, as it provides varying rates, lease flexibility, and the security of not having to worry about office management.

Co-working spaces also often include all utilities in their pricing, provide a multitude of office resources, and have on-site staff to support their members. However, here at Officense we can provide you with all of those same amenities and services all while you enjoy a private office space! It is literally the best of both worlds!

We have been taking great measures to ensure the safety of everyone in the office including a daily office maintenance around the clock, cleaning any common areas within the office. In addition, with a private office space, you have less germs to worry about and the freedom to create your own sense of comfort within the workplace.
