It used to be the design - and in some cases, it still is - for a small office space for rent to be available to a new small business until they grow out of it. But some companies remain small on purpose. While they are able to hire more than three or four employees, some teams cap at eight to ten members. These companies may also enjoy the space they had used from the beginning. But with their members on the brink of outgrowing a small space, how do the spaces themselves stay flexible?

It starts with design. As spaces have realized that as businesses grow, they have been designing their offices in different sizes. Some offices are built for individuals or up to four people, while others are larger and can fit entire teams. Other spaces make offices modular. They could either be separate, smaller offices or a bigger office for more people to work comfortably. A removable wall or pane of glass here or there can give many different offerings of small office space for rent to an already flowing workspace.

Enough spaces are discovering the advantages of modularity, that as businesses grow, the demand for small office space for rent is not limited to one size. While one space may not offer exactly the right fit for a growing company, another space will have what they need. Due to the network of coworking spaces and their accessibility, these small businesses have a much less difficult time finding the right type of offering - it’s making the decision that is the most difficult part.
