More and more people are interested in freelance work. They enjoy a high degree of freedom, both in terms of working hours and location. Many of them can choose to work in shared offices. These offer a wide range of facilities, enabling professionals to get up and running straight away. However, they need to bring their own equipment to ensure they have everything they need.

INVENTORY EXISTING INSTALLATIONS

Before working in a coworking space, it’s important to know all the facilities available to professionals. They’re just as suitable for start-ups as they are for freelancers. You also need to take into account the layout of the space and the interior design.

Some people are only creative when they work in a space where they feel comfortable. So sometimes it’s useful to add a personal touch. This could be a flower pot or a picture frame. These can be stored in individual lockers, saving freelancers the hassle of carrying them each time. Most workers and startup members spend an entire day in shared offices. It’s important to know whether hot drinks are available on demand, or whether professionals have access to the equipment they need to prepare them. You’ll need to make other arrangements, depending on the circumstances, to eat and drink.

BRING YOUR OWN COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

Going to a coworking space is similar to going to work. However, the self-employed worker or startup employee needs to bring his or her own work equipment. A coworker needs a smartphone to stay in touch. It’s best to keep it charged. The same applies to laptops. If the battery discharges quickly, you should also take along your power supply. Coworkers know how to organize themselves so that everyone has access to a power socket. In some cases, extension leads are essential to avoid having to change places.

In terms of accessories, a freelancer needs a mouse to optimize production. Headphones are a must for those who listen to their playlist while working. Earplugs are also advisable for those who need peace and quiet.
