Best Coworking Spaces In LAMarch 4, 2013 6:00 AM

The digital age has given rise to legions of freelancers, start-ups and telecommuters. While working from acoffee shop or home is convenient, it lacks the collaboration and office amenities that a traditionalworkspace provides.

Coworking spaces serve as a middle ground between traditional workplaces and the solitude of a homeoffice. They give mobile workers a reason to get out of their pajamas and into productivity mode without thehuge rental expense of traditional office space.

There is also the benefit of shared common areas, such as conference rooms and kitchenettes stocked witha variety of caffeine delivery systems. Office equipment, WiFi, workshops/events and use of their addressfor your business mail are typically part of the deal. A variety of workspaces are available to suit yourbudget and space needs.

The biggest perk of coworking is the built-in community of talented people. There are so many opportunitiesto network, share expertise, refer business and spark inspiration with “coworkers” from a variety ofindustries.
