FAQ
Questions and answers about flexible office solutions
What you want to know, in a nutshell.
Flex office, coworking, business center — what's what?
All three terms describe modern workplace solutions that adapt to what companies need today, without long contract terms, high upfront investment, or rigid layouts. Coworking is about collaborative work in open or shared areas. Flex office means private offices, small or large, from a single room to a whole floor, including service, equipment, and flexible terms. A business center, in turn, offers a more classic setup with reception, private offices, and added services. In the end, it's always about offices that adapt to how you work, not the other way around.
Does the CoWorking Capital service really cost nothing?
CoWorking Capital's service is completely free for you, because we work with the operators of the office space and are paid by them. That gives you two advantages: you pay no markup compared to renting directly from the operator, and you save time and effort while benefiting from our market knowledge, at no cost to you. The advice is independent, transparent, and focused on finding the best solution for your needs.
What office sizes does CoWorking Capital provide?
I broker office space of almost any size, from individual coworking desks to private team offices to entire floors or several thousand square meters for larger companies. Many providers offer scalable solutions that grow with your team, so you can find both short-term interim solutions and long-term locations that adapt as you change. Together we'll check which spaces truly fit your company.
In which cities is CoWorking Capital active?
CoWorking Capital is active across Germany and supports you in all major cities, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Stuttgart, as well as many other regions. I work with a wide network of coworking providers, flex office operators, and business centers, so I can quickly show you suitable options in whichever city works best for you and your team. On request, I also search lesser-known locations or specific districts.
Is there also off-market office space?
Yes. Besides publicly available office space, I have access to off-market options that aren't advertised online. These spaces are often especially attractive because there's less competition and they're available faster. Off-market solutions suit companies with special requirements or those searching discreetly. I review such options individually and only show you what truly fits your requirements.
What is usually included in a Flex Office?
A flex office gives you a fully equipped office with furniture, internet, cleaning, meeting rooms, a kitchen, reception service, and various extra services. Most operators handle the entire infrastructure, so you don't have to worry about setup, technology, or admin. That cuts time and cost and lets you get started with your team right away. Depending on the provider, you can add services like mail handling, IT support, or parking.
How quickly can I move into an office?
Many offices in coworking spaces and flex office buildings are immediately available and can be occupied the same day. In other cases, you can move in within a few days, depending on the provider and the equipment you want. I'll check which options can be set up quickly and which locations fit your timeline, so you find a fast, suitable solution without the hassle.
What are the minimum terms for Flex Offices?
Flex offices have much shorter terms than traditional office space. Many providers start from one or three months; others use six or twelve months as standard. For larger spaces, individual contract terms are possible, which I negotiate as needed. That lets you adjust the term flexibly to your growth and planning.
How does the deposit work with Flex Office providers?
Most providers ask for a deposit of one to three months' rent. The amount depends on the size of the space, the contract term, and the operator. Compared with traditional offices, the deposit for flex office solutions is often lower and more straightforward. It's refunded after you move out and return the space in good condition. I'll clarify which terms apply in each contract.
Can I scale my office space up or down later?
Yes. Flex office solutions are designed to adapt as your business develops. As your team grows or shrinks, spaces can often be adjusted at short notice. Many operators keep additional rooms available or let you move within the building. I'll check which providers offer the most flexible options.
How exactly does the process with CoWorking Capital work?
The process has three steps: first, we clarify your needs and define which office solutions fit you. Then I compare suitable locations and organize viewings. Finally, I guide you through the contract negotiations and support you until the final decision. The whole process is structured, clear, and fully managed for you.
Do you also organize viewings?
Yes. I coordinate all viewing appointments with the providers, so you don't have to coordinate with several operators yourself. You get a clear overview of the available time slots and can book appointments easily. That saves you time and gives you a quick impression of the offices that best fit your needs.
How long does the complete office search normally take?
It depends on your requirements, but many of my clients find a suitable office within one to five working days. If the requirements are more complex or larger spaces are needed, the search can take a bit longer. Thanks to my network and off-market options, though, the process is often faster than searching on your own. I'll keep you transparently informed at every step.
Which industries use Flex Offices the most?
Flex offices are used by startups, agencies, tech companies, consultancies, sales teams, and project groups. Large companies and corporations increasingly rely on flexible office solutions too, for project teams or short-term site expansions. The advantage is fast availability, low start-up costs, and high adaptability.
