What is coworking, and can it help you grow your business?

Because the needs of small businesses are ever-changing, coworking is more popular than ever. But some folks still don’t know what it is or how it can help them grow their business. 

Simply put, coworking is a flexible, no-commitment, hassle-free office space, featuring offices that can be rented for as short as one month. Cowork by RSD also offers memberships and day passes for our common areas. And we boast the most high-tech, elegant conference rooms and event spaces in Alaska.

Who Coworks?

You’ll meet everyone from the sole proprietor who just can’t work from their kitchen table for one more day, to the client-facing entrepreneur who needs an upscale, professional atmosphere for client meetings. 

Cowork by RSD boasts a wide variety of the most innovative entrepreneurs in Alaska. Interior designers, non-profit administrators, marketing gurus and wealth advisors are just a few of the folks you’ll visit at Cowork by RSD. 

Some need long-term office space and enjoy our award-winning design and high-tech amenities. Others need a more flexible approach and the freedom of month-to-month office rentals. Still others don’t need a private office and opt for a dedicated desk rental or the occasional day pass for our common areas.  

Turnkey business solution

There’s much more than just offices or desk space at Cowork by RSD. 

The job market is tough and hiring good staff is even more so, but we have desk staff for you. Our common areas are cleaned professionally. 

The secure, screaming-fast WiFi/wired internet is always free, as is the Kaladi Brothers coffee and espresso from our state-of-the-art machine. We have a fully equipped kitchen stocked with cups, plates, cutlery and more at no extra charge. 

First-come-first-served onsite parking is available. We love our bike commuters and know how important your bike can be, so our secure cage is a great option to keep it out of the elements. 

Your health is important, so we have sit-stand desks, adjustable lighting and water coolers on every floor.

So should you try coworking?

If you need flexibility, appreciate award-winning design and prefer a vibrant, collaborative atmosphere to working from home, you should try coworking. 

If you love lattes, mochas, espressos and tea, you should try coworking.

If you want a top-notch experience for your visiting clients, you should try coworking. 

If you want a high-tech, award-winning workspace without worrying about desk coverage or janitorial staff, you should try coworking.

If you like overpaying for your office, hiring your own desk staff and janitors, want to pay for parking or leave your bike out in the elements, are happy with dial-up internet speeds, or enjoy hiding in your man-cave or she-shed instead of rubbing elbows with Alaska’s top entrepreneurs …well, coworking probably isn’t for you. 

Schedule a tour or try a day pass today. We’ll help you find the right membership or office space so you can concentrate on growing your business.
