Many new years resolutioners decide that they are going to invest in themselves in the new year. Often, people narrow that declaration down, but as a whole it’s a very vague idea. Sometimes that can mean becoming more fit, it can mean keeping an eye on their personality and treating themselves and others with more respect, it can mean trying new things, new foods, or going new places. It can also mean starting that business with the idea that’s been percolating for months or even years. If the latter is the case, sometimes the biggest hump can be finding office solutions to best fit the needs of the business and the individuals who will be involved.

In today’s business landscape, office solutions don’t necessarily mean a storefront space or a private office suite. More and more shared workspaces are tailoring their offerings toward businesses who need more than just a few desks, or one office. Lots of relatively larger teams are gravitating toward shared workspaces or coworking spaces that have office solutions for their entire teams. Gone are the days where coworking is just a space with a bunch of desks where individuals just come in and take a desk (although those offerings still exist within most spaces, and are indeed still a hot commodity).

No, many new and existing workspaces design and build themselves out so that their office solutions cater to businesses of many different types and sizes. Not to sacrifice the community and traditional coworking style and principles, spaces seamlessly work in smaller spaces and larger spaces amongst each other. Just because a business has a dozen or so employees and occupies a space that happens to be larger no longer means that they are cut off from the rest of the coworking community. Common spaces are still shared, like kitchens, lounges, and conference rooms. Events that involve the entire space are shared with the larger companies as well, and the networking opportunities for members allow even the bigger companies to grow.

So whether that new business of yours involves just you as an individual, or your group of employees, there is space to be had in a modern, lively working community where office solutions most likely won’t break the bank. Sometimes, a storefront or a private suite is the right choice. Sometimes, an individual desk or office is all a startup business owner needs. But now, unlike before, more options exist within more affordable price ranges. Investing in oneself in the form of starting a new business is now more possible than ever, and can pay great dividends in the financial, professional, and emotional well being of an owner and employees alike.
