Welcome to Independent Studios Coworking Spaces, Melbourne
Why would you lease a new office space when you don’t know how big your team will be in 12 months time or whether you need to expand or contract quickly with client work adjustments? Independent Studios can help your team of 4 grow into a space for 6 then to 8 or 10 and then shrink back again when you outsource!
Your team can have dedicated areas and workzones all within a light filled warehouse surround near Greville St, Prahran in inner Melbourne.
Independent Studios Prahran have cost effective workspaces for your core workers that mean you are getting the ‘virtual’ benefits of an office but not paying for full time usage.
We can provide you with an address for mail /website and building access for 2-3 days per week for 2 or more of your staff including working from desks with superfast wifi so that they can maintain productivity at the office or maintain a product based business eg with pick& pack items.
Hopefully, as conditions ease you can upgrade to full time, or more employees or keep working from a mix of home & office and still have low business overheads.
We have low density per desk, we maintain CovidSafe practices and we are setup to enable physical growth once your revenue & office budget lifts – smart thinking, huh? Normally, we are ideally setup to help creative based businesses of 4-6 people or just those who like the clean aesthetic of a clean, black & white based warehouse space.
If you are have a business that needs to either grow (without lease lock-ins) or possibly shrink (esp. in terms of costings 😉 then book a tour at Independent Studios next to the famous Greville St.
We are effectively a managed share space so you get all the benefits of working alongside like minded individuals without having to worry about paying utilities, sorting out slow internet or putting out the bins. Our offices are styled to be ‘client presentable’ so are clean and stylish without looking like your professional rates aren’t overspent on the rent line. So for businesses grappling with Covid19 but still need professional office space please contact us and mention the ‘part-time team’ desks.
More broadly, a range of onsite assets such as meeting areas, rooms, boardtables, are available at not charge for full time, internal members .
Use the form or get Andy on our chat popup to make an appointment to tour the site on Porter St, Prahran and see how Independent Studios coworking spaces can get to work to help your business.
