WHAT IS CO-WORKING? AND WHY IS GETTING SO POPULAR?

withanidea

We are so glad you asked. Co-working is a working style that involves several people from different organizations working in a shared space. It often chosen by free-lancers, independent contractors, start-ups and others in search of synergy and inspiration, that often comes when a number of talented individuals gather in the same place.

The benefits of a co-shared space are evident: low-cost, creative, great for networking…The list goes on and on and in our upcoming blogs we would like to look at each one in a bit more detail.

Low cost

Saving money is one of the major benefits of a co-working space. The ability to invest all your resources in unlocking your idea is a great privilege, especially in Hong Kong.

The average cost of an office space in a prime location goes up to HKD 30 000 (for a two-people office) – and that is not taking into account administrative and upkeep costs.  For a small business this can be a significant commitment and a significant source of pressure.

So the chance to cut down on costs is often jumped at by young entrepreneurs. And with a shared office, this chance comes with great benefits:

–       you may be able to work in a prime location, in the business heart of Hong Kong  – and yet not pay astronomical rent

–       you will not have to spend extra on Internet, telephone and other bills

–       you will have a comfortable working environment, complete with a business lounge and refreshments

–       you will work in an international environment, meeting fellow-entrepreneurs – with no additional cost for attending networking events

–       and all the saved resources you have acquired can go directly to unleashing the full business potential of your company.

什么是共享办公？为什么越来越流行？

（图片）
共享办公是一种工作方式，包括来自不同组织的几个人在一个共享的空间中工作。自由职业者、独立承包商、初创企业和其他寻求协同作用和灵感的人经常选择它，这通常是在许多才华横溢的人聚集在同一个地方时出现的。
共享空间的好处是显而易见的：低成本、有创意、非常适合建立网络……这个一系列的内容层出不穷，在我们即将发布的文章中，我们想对每一个都做更详细的介绍。
低成本
省钱是共享办公空间的主要好处之一。能够投入所有资源来释放您的想法是一种极大的特权，尤其是在香港。
位于黄金地段的办公空间的平均成本高达 30 000 港元（两人办公室）——这还不包括行政和维护成本。对于小型企业而言，这可能是一项重要的承诺，也是一项重要的压力来源。
因此，年轻企业家往往会抓住降低成本的机会。有了共享办公室，这个机会带来了巨大的好处：
– 您可以在香港商业中心的黄金地段工作 ，却无需支付天价租金
– 您无需在互联网、电话和其他账单上花费额外的费用
– 您将拥有舒适的工作环境，配有商务休息室和茶点
– 您将在国际环境中工作，结识同行企业家，参加社交活动无需额外费用
– 您获得的所有节省的资源都可以直接用于释放您公司的全部业务潜力。

共享办公室-共享办公空间：灵活性

（图片）
难怪共享工作空间在当今的工作社区越来越流行。它们提供了一定程度的灵活性，这在当今的商业世界中备受追捧。想想看：
– 您可以随时随地工作，设定自己的工作时间
– 如果您需要扩大您的团队，您将不必考虑获得更大的办公室 ，共享办公室将有足够的空间来满足您的新员工的需求
– 实际上，您可能会在您的共享办公室里遇到其中的一些人（或者他们可能是业务合作伙伴或投资者）
– 您无需签署长期租赁协议，这让您可以灵活地搬家、休息、探索其他选择等等
在不断变化的商业环境中，以创业的心态，我们还能要求什么呢？

Centre o at Your Service: Virtual Offices

virtual office Hong Kong

What is a virtual office?

It sounds like something from the Matrix, but, actually, a virtual office is a popular form of business organization, particularly for SMEs and startups.

A virtual office is an office that exists in cyberspace

So where will you work?

Technically, your office is wherever you are – which makes this working arrangement popular among businesses that do not have to deal with clients directly, but rather remotely. And it makes sense. You will have flexibility, a chance to travel and move around, most importantly, save money.

What about my company?

Good question. While running your business from a laptop is perfectly convenient for you, it may not look the same way for your clients. A reliable service provider is expected to have an office and as business address. This is just how it works.

So what will a virtual office give me?

Just that. A virtual office will give you an official presence, as well as the so-much needed help in dealing with administrative and secretarial tasks.

Centre o provides a wide range of virtual office services, including:

  • prestige registered address
  • professional receptionist services
  • dedicated telephone line
  • dedicated fax line
  • receipt of letters/parcels with notification via phone/email
  • office hours customized call handling
  • non-office hours customized voice to email
  • 24/7 customized voice to email
  • 24/7 unlimited fax to email
  • 3 hours free usage of conference room/ month

Additional Services

  • listing of corporate signboard
  • usage of conference room
  • usage of voice conferencing
  • administrative support
  • printing/ copying
  • courier/ postage and stamps arrangement

“A simple cost effective solution to your office needs with exceptional service. What more can you ask for?” Steve, Managing Director at Reflexion Research Ltd

什么是虚拟办公室？
这听起来像是来自 Matrix 的东西，但实际上，虚拟办公室是一种流行的商业组织形式，特别是对于中小企业和初创企业。
虚拟办公室是存在于网络空间的办公室
那么你会在哪里工作？
从技术上讲，您的办公室无处不在，这使得这种工作安排在不必直接与客户打交道而是远程处理的企业中很受欢迎。您将拥有灵活性，有机会旅行和四处走动，最重要的是，可以省钱。
我的公司呢？
好问题。虽然通过笔记本电脑开展业务对您来说非常方便，但对您的客户来说可能看起来不一样。一个可靠的服务提供商应该有一个办公室和一个商业地址。这就是它的工作原理。
那么虚拟办公室会给我带来什么？
虚拟办公室将为您提供正式的存在，以及处理行政和秘书任务的急需帮助。
Center o 提供广泛的虚拟办公室服务，包括：

Centre o at Your Service: Serviced Offices

In view of a few new services coming up soon in centre o, we have decided to do a detailed review of all the services centre o is happy to provide, as well as the new ones to come.

We proud ourselves on being a professional provider of a comprehensive set of services, taking your existing business, start-up or idea to a new level.

Serviced office

Serviced offices are gaining popularity in the business world and even more in Hong Kong. Why?

Basically, for most of us, working environment and location are the two key elements to a happy office. However, these things come at a price. And in Hong Kong it’s not a small one.

More than that, just renting an office will not create an inspiring atmosphere. For this you need good administration, efficient cleaning services, refreshment facilities, as well the general tooling for an international working environment like internet, telephone, mail and such.

Now, these things do not sound like a lot of work, but they are – especially if you are a young company, start-up or a one-man business.

Serviced offices help you get all the headache out of the way and keep your all your focus on the big picture.

So what can centre o do for you?

  • prestige location

8 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, next to a beautiful park, restaurants and coffee shops.

  • 24/7 secured access
  • private, secure and furnished
  • professional receptionist servicestelephone call forwarding and message taking
  • daily mail collection services
  • digital telephones with caller display, voice mailbox and conference features
  • dedicated telephone and fax lines per work station
  • high-speed wired/wireless internet access via pccw
  • fully furnished ergonomically design furniture
  • meeting room for 4-6 persons
  • business lounge with unlimited complementary tea and coffee
  • international television newscast
  • professional printer, newspapers and magazines
  • daily cleaning and office management
  • electricity, water, air-conditioning

With us taking over the administration and day-to-day management, you and your team can get right to work. 

And if you have any questions about Hong Kong legal system and taxation, you will always have a team of expert consultants at your service.
