6. Co-working space vs. MyOffice- what’s the difference?
A co-working space is a style of work that involves different start-ups working together in a shared environment, usually forming a collaborative community. There is no virtual office support for the different companies. Instead, the entrepreneurs present proactively help each other, whether it is taking a phone call for another or prepping the coffee for everyone. In addition, each co-working caters to specific industries, such as tech start-ups or social enterprises. Added services may also include events and mentorship. MyOffice on the other hand focuses on the nitty gritty details every business in various industries need when starting, such as business registration, office support solutions, private and shared spaces, accounting, etc. In addition, MyOffice is mobile friendly, since members of MyOffice don’t have to be physically present in the office to feel the benefits. Our front and back office services keep entrepreneurs connected to the office and help the business continue to run wherever they may be!

Various glass boards are located all over the area to encourage free-thinking, and a DIY station and trolley containing all necessary equipment such as a projector, scanner, fax machine, and desktop computer can be found, giving you complete access to office tools anytime.
