Coworking is the future of business space

I used to pay too much council tax for renting an office and now there is a new solution.

COWORK LOCAL, funded by the Denbighshire County Council and the Welsh Government, has coworking spaces near my home in Llangollen.

If you were an introvert like me, you probably find working from home quite attractive, as long as there is enough space at home. My home is too small and so I rented the small property next door as my "home office". I get the convenience of working from home, however, I pay 50% more council tax than usual as my home office is classified as a "second home".

There is a new co-working space down the road from my house, where I could rent a desk for £12.5/day. This just costs roughly as much as the council tax I am paying for my "second home", and it means I can potentially save all the bills and the rent of my "second home".

If this doesn't sound exciting enough, I can also get to mingle and co-work with others and potentially co-creating new business opportunities for each other.

"What if I need a quiet space to conduct a meeting?"

There is another small room next door, as a break-out room, and other extra spaces in the community hall downstairs where I should be able to find a corner where I can take my laptop and work away quietly if I needed to.

Just imagine the potential for more creativity to happen in this kind of co-working environment. In my experience, whenever people collaborate in a safe environment where people respect and trust each other, communicate openly and transparently, listen and ask questions, new ideas happen.

Last but not least, there is a 30 days trial for free. I am going to sign up and see how this co-working journey is going to benefit me, and the community.
