That trend has accelerated in the last twenty four months as businesses are increasingly open to flexible work options for their staff.
“This disruption of work and the availability of large funds to rent an office in a commercial area has led to the increasing demand for co-work spaces by start-up entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote employees.
“The supply gap of affordable functional work spaces is heightened by the absence of sufficient libraries and a serene atmosphere for study and research in strategic locations all over the country, but more so in commercial city centres”

“Our subscribers can choose whether they want to work in a quiet space so they can focus, or work in a more collaborative space with shared work tables where interaction is encouraged. This further motivates subscribers as they become part of a social movement which enhances networking and mutual personal and business growth”, he added
