2. What is best for my company, a co-working space or a private serviced office?

Serviced offices are ideal for growing start-ups, small agencies, small businesses and corporations that require more compartmentalisation and dedicated office and meeting spaces. Co-working spaces can be better for freelancers and individual professionals that don’t need dedicated private offices on a regular basis or don’t have a fixed work schedule.
