Guess what? There is! “Coworking spaces” is a new trend in today’s working world enjoyed by startups, independent entrepreneurs, and freelancers. Coworking spaces are shared work environments that are usually affordable, conveniently located, and provide amenities needed to be productive (high speed wireless internet, desks, meeting rooms, etc.). Not all working spaces are the same, but the goal is to give independent employees and new companies a viable place to get important work done.
