Why Co-working is Great for Female-Led Businesses

Starting a business is a demanding challenge, but can be immensely rewarding for your career. More and more, we’re seeing the rise of female-led businesses and female entrepreneurs. They’re finally being recognized for their work and supported by their local and online communities. 

Co-working is a great space for women to find a way to get their work done while being celebrated and supported by their peers. If you’re struggling to get your business started at home or in public workspaces, consider a co-working space for your business needs. 

Being Able to Network with Like-minded Women

The great benefit of co-working is everyone else who is there shares similar work habits to yours. Co-working spaces are filled with like-minded, self-driven individuals who are passionate about their work. 

Having the platform and space to be creative in your business and be surrounded by others who are doing the same thing opens up the door to networking, especially with other women and female-identifying persons.

“Women are no longer living a linear path to success. Careers came with a built-in infrastructure. You were given your colleagues, networks, retirement accounts, insurance, etc. Today it’s different especially for women who want to design their own work lives. That structure doesn’t exist and we have to build it for ourselves. We have to collaborate to get access to the resources we want, which requires a heavy level of commitment, understanding and community. It’s the crowd sharing economy realized, but in the workplace.” -Jen Mojo

Freedom in the Workspace

Co-working is great for meeting other women and it can also be a very freeing space to drive your business to your ultimate goals. Being a self-run business or entrepreneur gives you complete freedom to accomplish what you want, and being in a space with others can provide you with that support. 

Co-working entrepreneur Felena Hanson explains this further: 

“Women have long operated in a business world we didn’t create. So many women feel like outsiders in various industries that it’s great to create room where our needs come first.”

The Rise of Community-Driven Events 

With more women running their own businesses, comes more ways to engage in the community. And with making so many connections at co-working spaces, your network of peers and colleagues will have lots of ideas to put their work into action. 

This is not a new idea, as workplaces have initiatives made for women and new businesses to network together. Co-working spaces allow complete freedom to make your own initiatives and have the ability to organize and plan whatever you and your peers want. 

While it can be a difficult challenge, the rewards completely pay off and people who experience marginalization in the workplace can find a new sense of freedom in co-working spaces.
