Being self-employed comes with a plethora of benefits and challenges. It is a unique work situation that not many people understand. Working for yourself is incredibly rewarding- whether you’ve been doing it for years or are just starting out, a shared workspace has the solutions you need for success. 

A shared workspace provides an opportunity for the self-employed to enjoy the amenities of a larger organization. Gym facilities, outdoor spaces, and fully-stocked lounge areas with complimentary beverages are just a sampling of what is available to clients. At AdvantEdge Workspaces, these amenities are included in your monthly membership. You no longer need to worry about grabbing your coffee in the morning or commuting to the gym after work! 

Being self-employed can present the issue of where to work. Whether you are solo or have a small team, there is no “one size fits all” solution. Traditional office spaces likely do not provide the flexibility you need. You risk locking yourself into a contract in a cookie-cutter cubicle-style space. Those who are self-employed deserve better! A shared workspace has a variety of workspace solutions, from a dedicated coworking desk, to a private office, to a suite. You can move between spaces as your team and needs shift. Additionally, access to meeting rooms is an often overlooked necessity. Reserve by the hour for a spacious, modern, and tech-savvy room to host guests in. 

Self-employment can be lonely. You are a jack-of-all-trades, wearing many hats. A shared, serviced workspace will provide much needed support. A space like AdvantEdge Workspaces is alongside you every step of the way. Live reception provides customized call answering, mail services, and a professional area to receive guests. Client services coordinators are on-hand to help with small admin tasks, which is one less thing you have to worry about. Also, as a workspace client, you’ll have access to a printer center, office supplies, lounge areas, and more.

Self-employment no longer means losing that sense of office community. In a shared workspace, you are surrounded by like-minded professionals, many of whom work solo or run their own businesses. Happy hours, holiday events, and learning lunches are just an example of the programming you can access. For those who enjoy socializing but love being their own boss, this type of workspace perfectly balances both.

Overall, there is no doubt that a shared workspace is the best office solution for the self-employed. From amenities to flexibility, AdvantEdge Workspaces provides the support and options you need. Come check out one of our two prime D.C. locations today!
