COWORKING SPACE RENTAL IN PARIS

Are you looking for a practical, comfortable coworking space in the heart of Paris or the Ile-de-France region? Would you like to benefit from a flexible working environment to set up your business or develop your activity in complete tranquillity?

To help you in your search, we take you on a tour of coworking spaces, true oases of collaboration and innovation.

How a coworking space works

A coworking space is a place where independent professionals, nomadic workers or corporate employees can work together in a shared environment. These workspaces usually offer a fully-equipped office, an Internet connection, meeting rooms and sometimes other services such as printers, shared kitchens, etc. The aim is to create a working environment where everyone can collaborate, exchange ideas and benefit from a professional network, while retaining their freedom of action and organization.

The growing trend towards coworking

Over the past few years, coworking has taken on a prominent place in the professional world. This popularity can be explained by several factors: the evolution of working methods towards greater flexibility and autonomy, the rise of freelance workers and start-ups, and the quest for lively professional communities. More and more people are opting for coworking spaces because of their many advantages in terms of cost, flexibility and networking.

What are the advantages of coworking in Paris?

Profitability

- Lower fixed costs

Coworking spaces enable professionals to reduce their fixed costs, as they share the expenses associated with renting an office: rent, Internet access and premises maintenance. This pooling of costs enables users to benefit from a professional workspace at a lower cost than an individual office, which is particularly advantageous for self-employed workers and small businesses with limited budgets.

- Flexible pricing options:

Coworking spaces offer different types of pricing to suit the needs of each user. They usually provide monthly packages, daily passes or even hourly formulas, allowing professionals to choose the plan best suited to their use. This pricing flexibility allows them to pay only for the services and space they need, without making a long-term commitment.

- Avoidance of long-term leases:

Unlike traditional private offices, which often require long-term leases, coworking spaces offer an alternative without extended commitments. Users can rent a workspace for as long as they like - whether for a day, a week or a few months - without having to sign a binding contract. This flexibility enables them to adapt quickly to changing business needs, while avoiding the financial and administrative constraints associated with long-term leases.

Flexibility and convenience

- Customizable workspace options:
Coworking spaces offer a wide range of layouts: private offices, open-plan workstations, meeting rooms and relaxation areas. Professionals can choose the work environment that best suits their needs and working style, and even customize their space to suit their preferences.

- Access to amenities and facilities

Coworking spaces generally provide a host of complementary services to meet the requirements of professionals. These include high-speed Internet access, printing and scanning facilities, equipped meeting rooms, relaxation areas, a shared kitchen, and sometimes even reception and mail management services. These facilities enable users to work efficiently and comfortably, without having to worry about logistical organization.

- Ability to adjust space size according to needs:

Coworking spaces offer great flexibility in terms of space size. Professionals can easily adjust their workspace to suit their needs, moving from a single office to an open-plan space, or adding extra workstations as required. This flexibility enables companies of all sizes to find the right space for them, and easily adapt to their growth or fluctuations in activity.

How to choose the right coworking space in Paris?

1) Location

Finding the right location for your coworking space can seem like a real challenge. Whether you're looking for an office or a coworking space, location is an essential criterion to consider. When looking for your future workspace, take the time to observe the surrounding neighborhood. Is it located in the heart of the city? Is it easily accessible by public transport or car?

Like all our customers, we understand that you're looking for a coworking space at the heart of the action, close to other services and in a lively neighborhood. However, the choice of neighborhood for your coworking space will also depend on the nature of your business. For example, if your company aims to be close to the main players in the business world, opting for a coworking space in La Défense in Paris would be advantageous. Likewise, if you prefer to be at the heart of the hustle and bustle of Parisian urban life, choosing a central location in the capital might suit your needs.

2) Equipment and services

Define in advance what you're looking for in your coworking space. While some people are simply looking for a workspace, others are looking for additional service offerings that set them apart. Here's a (non-exhaustive) list of the equipment and services on offer at Deskeo:

- High-speed wifi connection : Fast, reliable Internet access is essential for efficient working.

- Comfortable office furniture: Ergonomic desks, comfortable chairs and well-appointed workspaces promote productivity and comfort.

- Printer: The availability of an on-site printer makes it easier to manage administrative tasks.

- Heating and air-conditioning: A comfortable, temperature-controlled environment means you can work in optimum conditions whatever the season.

- Kitchen area: The presence of a fully equipped kitchen means that meals can be prepared on site.
- Relaxation area: Hot beverages are available for relaxation breaks and exchanges between members of the community.
- Cleaning: Regular cleaning services ensure a clean and pleasant working environment for all your employees.

- Available meeting rooms : Fully-equipped meeting rooms are available for meetings and group work sessions.

Some of our spaces even offer terraces and gardens to soak up the sun and relax! Just like our Deskeo Levallois - Villiers coworking space.

4) Number of workstations

Legislation is clear on this point: the employee's workstation must offer freedom of movement in terms of height and surface, taking into account the furniture. Every workspace must therefore be comfortable and adapted to the activity of your employees.

According to the Afnor standard, here are the requirements in terms of surface area per person

- For an individual office, we recommend 10 square meters per person.

- For a shared office, 11 square meters per person is recommended.
- In the case of a noisy collective workspace such as a call center, the standard recommends 15 square meters per person.

The document also specifies the following points:

- In a closed office, we recommend limiting the number of employees to 5.

- If the surface area of an office is less than or equal to 25 square meters, its length must be less than twice its width.

- If the surface area exceeds 25 square meters, the length of the office must be less than three times its width.

Before renting a coworking space for your offices, we strongly advise you to take these points into account.

5) Accessibility

Some coworking spaces never close their doors. This constant availability gives night owls the freedom to work late into the night, or early risers the freedom to start their working day at the crack of dawn. In this context, it's essential to have a workspace that's accessible when and where you need it. That's why Deskeo workspaces are available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

6) The community

Coworking spaces also offer a valuable collaborative dimension. Here, you can meet other professionals, exchange ideas, collaborate on projects or share best practices. To avoid disappointment later on, make sure that the atmosphere and culture of the space match your values and working style. Before you make a decision, take the time to visit several coworking spaces and meet members of the community to make sure you'll feel comfortable and be able to seize networking and collaboration opportunities. At Deskeo, our experience managers will be happy to answer all your questions and help you make your workspace a real place to live.

7) Price

The final element to consider when choosing the right coworking space is the price factor. Pricing can vary depending on the type of workstation you select: unassigned office in a shared space, assigned office in an open space or enclosed private office.

On the other hand, beware of hidden charges! Some coworking spaces charge extra for services such as hot drinks, parking or access to meeting rooms. These extra costs can quickly add to your overall budget. So make sure you understand what's included in the price, and check whether optional services are available and at what price.
