Coworking spaces are popular among entrepreneurs and freelancers. For only RM400 a month, you can get an office space with unlimited coffee machine drinks, high-speed internet, productivity apps on your computer monitor, friendly coworkers, collaboration events every week/month/quarter/semester to meet new people outside of the coworking space.

The benefits of coworking space

1)Unlimited coffee machine drinks- some coworking spaces in Kuala Lumpur have unlimited beer, wine, or champagne for their patrons. Whoever said freelancing was not-fun has never been to a coworking space.

2) High-speed internet- high-speed Wi-Fi is essential when you are doing remote work & collaborating with your coworkers. All computers in the office should also be connected to high-speed internet to be fast to access each other’s files, images, videos, etc.

3)Productivity apps on your computer monitor- entrepreneurs always want to maximize time and be productive, so they need productivity apps like calendars, reminders, or alarms on their computer screens to stay organized and alert. It will be very inconvenient if there aren’t any monitors attached to the computers in the coworking space.

4)Friendly fellow coworkers- entrepreneurs and people working from home often get lonely and miss human contact. Coworking space in Kuala Lumpur provides a sense of community, community events to meet new people outside of the coworking space, and friendship with people who work for different industries or have the same interests as you do.

5)Collaboration events every so often: some coworking spaces even host monthly/quarterly/semesterly collaboration events where everyone in the room comes together and talks about their ideas, experiences, etc. It’s beneficial because it provides inspiration, motivation or just enhances your knowledge on specific topics that might be related to your industry or project at hand.

6) It provides a conducive work environment. Some freelancers go in and out of coffee shops to get their job done, but they can’t really be productive when people chit-chatting, loud music, or the pungent aroma of coffee may distract them from their focus.

It isn’t easy to meet new people, especially if you are socially awkward. Still, coworking spaces provide an environment where it is easier to make friends and network among the other members/companies who are also members of the same industry.

7) It is a community where you could ask for help, connect with people or collaborate on ideas & projects.

8) You don’t have to clean up after yourself because there are separate rooms for individual work & collaboration.

9) Some coworking spaces in Kuala Lumpur have the ability to customize your desk/office layout, so it is convenient for you.

10) You get a lockable storage space, so it feels like you have an office at home without the pressure of cleaning up after yourself. You can just come in, do your work and leave when you’re done.

Conclusion

Thus, coworking space in Kuala Lumpur is beneficial for entrepreneurs and freelancers. The only setback is that the rent in Kuala Lumpur is not cheap, which is why some people prefer to work from home or at cafes instead.
