Shared workspaces, serviced offices, virtual offices and co-working spaces offer start-ups and new businesses a chance to establish an office swiftly and efficiently. Hong Kong’s choice of co-working facilities has expanded in the past decade to offer a broad range of spaces in locations across the city.

Offering start-ups and SMEs the opportunity to reduce overheads, share resources and scale up office space when needed, co-working spaces also foster an entrepreneurial spirit and provide a support network. They may also lead to collaboration opportunities with like-minded entrepreneurs and exposure to new ideas and opportunities.
