Advocates of co-working have long purported that one of the greatest benefits of these spaces is the opportunity they provide to network with like-minded entrepreneurs, stimulating positive business growth. One South African solopreneur has realised this and quadrupled the size of her business in less than a year, all thanks to the networking access provided by Flexible Workspace – the business centre that hosts her virtual office in Umhlanga.
“A significant part of my current client base has been generated through the contacts I’ve met within the broader Flexible Workspace community. It’s truly incredible how co-working spaces act as magnets for networking, actively promoting new business opportunities, innovation and collaboration,” says Terica Reddan, founder of B2B new business agency, ProLead.
