Inofan Co-Launch Services

Today, in the field of services, in the advanced industrial countries of the world, a high percentage has been allocated to the service sector. Developed countries have concluded that one must be an entrepreneur to succeed in employment and the economy. The main priority of these countries is entrepreneurship and creating a business for each individual. The entry of the private sector to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem is a higher priority than that of government and semi-government institutions, but the agility of this sector causes the standard of this activity to rise. In most cities with different capabilities in creative industries, representatives of the private sector must take a small step towards improving the entrepreneurial ecosystem by investing in the field of creative industries by utilizing the potential of entrepreneurship as a tool, and by linking it with healthy economic cycles, it can create a positive social impact on the social and economic situation of the city.

Shared workspace

Today’s coworking spaces are more than just providing a desk, chair, and Wi-Fi. They are redefining the concept of a workspace for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and teams looking for an inspiring, professional, and comfortable environment.

What is a coworking space?

In today’s world, we are witnessing a massive transformation in how and where work is done. Remote work, freelancing, and startups are becoming more common, and people are looking for spaces that fit their new needs. In the meantime, coworking spaces have attracted a lot of attention as a new solution. A coworking space is an environment designed to accommodate people from different companies so that they can work there. Imagine a large office that is used by different people and teams from different companies, rather than just for one specific company. The benefits of a coworking space go beyond cost savings. These spaces help foster creativity, innovation, and networking by providing a platform for interaction and collaboration between people with different expertise and experiences.

What are the benefits of a coworking space?

A coworking space can be a lifesaver for freelancers, but it also plays an important role in any entrepreneur’s and business’s strategy to move towards a more flexible way of working. Here are some of the most important benefits of a coworking space:

More flexibility

Most coworking spaces in Iran do not require long-term contract commitments. Instead, freelancers and startups can take advantage of short-term leases and flexible payment terms, which help save costs for startups.

Community exposure

The original idea behind starting a coworking space was to help early web entrepreneurs escape the monotony and isolation of working from home. While these spaces have evolved to meet a wider range of needs, they are still primarily social spaces. A coworking space connects you to a group of like-minded professionals.

Effortless Networking

This benefit goes hand in hand with the community-oriented aspect of coworking mentioned above. When you share a physical space with employees from your industry and others, you uncover potential opportunities, build strong relationships, and make lasting connections with new people.

Boost Productivity in a Professional Environment

Sharing a coworking space with a group of motivated and focused colleagues is a surefire way to boost your own productivity. Not only is it harder to procrastinate in the presence of others, but traveling to a space dedicated solely to work helps organize your schedule. Unlike working from home or a coffee shop, a coworking space provides a professional environment that can increase productivity. Compared to working from home, a coworking space can provide an environment with fewer distractions.

More Creativity

We are more creative when we are around other people. Whether you work in a creative industry or simply need a creative solution to a complex problem, talking to friends and colleagues can help kick-start new thought processes and introduce perspectives and ideas that you hadn’t considered.

Reduced Costs

One of the main benefits of coworking is that it is more cost-effective. By sharing facilities such as office space, recreational services, internet, and more with employees from other companies, businesses with limited budgets can reduce the cost of ancillary services and eliminate many of the additional expenses associated with long-term real estate rentals. So if you’re thinking about starting your own startup, don’t forget about coworking!

Learning and skill development

Many coworking spaces host workshops, training sessions, and networking events that provide opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Brand image and meeting spaces

Having a professional address and access to meeting rooms can enhance a freelancer’s or startup’s brand image and provide a convenient space for meetings with clients.

Who is the coworking space audience?

Coworking spaces have become a melting pot of innovation and productivity, attracting a wide range of professionals and companies looking for a dynamic network.

Remote workers

At the heart of this community are people who are working remotely, trading the isolation of their homes for the dynamic energy of affordable coworking spaces.

Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs discover an environment full of potential here, where ideas flourish and networks expand without the overhead costs of a traditional office or the expense of a shared workspace. Flexible office space is ideally suited to the increasingly popular hybrid work model.

Small businesses

Small teams thrive in this workspace that offers flexibility and scalability through short-term coworking spaces. It allows them to progress at their own pace without the constraints of long-term leases.

Larger teams

Teams from larger companies are also joining the coworking movement. They are drawn to these spaces for off-site conference rooms, collaboration on projects, or simply to escape the confines of the corporate office for fresh inspiration.

Freelancers

Freelancers continue to be a core element of the coworking ecosystem, finding both a private space for deep work and a community for collaborative projects.

The diversity of users, from tech startups to creative freelancers, from non-profits to international corporations, creates a unique mix, making coworking a hub for creativity, innovation, and networking. This dynamic mix not only enriches the professional experience of its members but also fosters a culture of collaboration and mutual growth.

Dedicated offices

A private office is a small room or space that is separated from the open office by partitions. These spaces are usually for senior executives such as the CEO, secretary, general manager, sales manager, and the like. Sometimes a private office is provided to a group of people who are working on a specific project, are skilled at confidentiality, or need to focus on work.

What are the benefits of a private office?

You get all the benefits of a shared workspace with an added sense of privacy and the ability to create your own culture. A private office brings you several benefits:

Privacy

In an open office, you will have problems if you have a private and confidential meeting or an important confidential and important phone call. But this problem does not exist in private offices. Private offices help you keep your clients’ confidential information, and you will not face any problems if you have a private meeting or a confidential phone call.

Increase Productivity

A person who deals with complex information, handles finances, or prepares and compiles strategic documents for the organization often takes refuge in the company conference room to do these tasks. Going to different departments of the company and losing the train of thought can be a factor in the loss of productivity of the individual. With a private office, the individual can hold all his important work appointments with more focus in his office, thus increasing the productivity of the company.

Save time

When partners attend meetings, you no longer need to try to find a cozy and quiet corner. Or you don’t have to invite a client out for a private consultation for lunch. In fact, business owners can save a significant amount of money per year on food. With a private space, you can invite clients to your office at any time. Enjoy complete peace and quiet during business meetings.

Organized appearance

A private office design with separate or partitioned rooms has a more organized appearance than an open office space, which conveys a sense of clutter and chaos to clients. In a private office, each person is in their own environment, and it will be easier for clients to access.

Security

Don’t worry about leaving your expensive equipment, computers, and monitors in a large public area. With a private office, you can keep your belongings at your desk. Sensitive information is protected behind locked doors, reducing any concerns about leaving confidential reports and client files open.

Healthy atmosphere

A private office is specially air-conditioned, heated, and cooled, and there is no transmission of disease from one person to another.
