Coworking Space

A shared, membership-based office where remote workers and freelancers rent a desk instead of working from home.

A coworking space is a shared workplace you pay to use — a hot desk, a dedicated desk, or a small private office — with wifi, meeting rooms and coffee thrown in. Remote workers use them to separate work from home, meet other people, or get a reliable connection while travelling.

Some remote employers cover the cost through a remote work stipend. If working from home leaves you isolated or unfocused, a coworking membership is one of the simplest fixes.
