Frequently asked questions

Coworking companies are growing quickly in the U.S. because businesses and freelancers increasingly prefer flexible workspace solutions over long-term leases. The coworking model offers agility, community, and cost efficiency, making it ideal for today’s hybrid work culture. For operators, this means more opportunities to serve diverse user needs and scale through tools like Optix that streamline management and member experience.

Independent coworking operators can compete by focusing on community, personalization, and niche experiences. Unlike national brands, smaller coworking spaces can build strong local networks, host tailored events, and adapt quickly to member feedback. Using flexible management software like Optix helps independents match the operational efficiency of big players while maintaining their unique local edge.

The biggest coworking companies — from Regus to Industrious — succeed because they combine professional design, consistent service, and scalable systems. Smaller coworking operators can learn from these models by implementing flexible memberships, improving branding, and leveraging workspace management tools to deliver a consistent experience across multiple locations.
