As a business founder, finding the most effective ways to scale your business can be the difference between staying ahead of the competition and struggling in fast-evolving market conditions.
So, how can you maintain the agility and dynamism from early startup days whilst scaling your company? Flexible workspaces can be the ideal solution, supporting sustainable growth without overcommitting financially, and helping to build that all-important team culture.
Options to suit all budgets
Whether you are a solo entrepreneur or a growing team, flexible workspaces provide choices that will suit any stage of your scaling process. All Clockwise locations offer club lounges for hotdesking, dedicated desks, and private offices, all with access to the full range of amenities. From breakout areas, kitchenettes and meeting rooms, to onsite cafés and showers, your business will benefit from great facilities that were once only available to larger companies with big CAPEX budgets.
Flexibility without long-term commitment
Being able to pivot quickly when necessary is a key driver of success in growing businesses and that should include your workspace requirements. Whether you need to add more desks or accommodate different working styles and patterns, flexible workspaces can support your plans. Clockwise offers monthly rolling licences, priced per desk, that can grow as fast as your business needs. Should you need to scale down, reducing your space is just as straightforward. You can book meeting rooms and event space as and when you require it, saving the need to invest in extra square footage that is underutilised.

Community and culture
Flexible workspaces provide scalability in terms of physical office space but also support your team’s wellbeing and productivity in ways that traditional office space or remote working cannot offer. Coworking environments attract diverse professionals from different industries, providing interesting networking and collaboration opportunities. All Clockwise spaces are designed with connectivity in mind, and all our members have access to our networking portal and bespoke programmes of events at each location, supporting personal and professional growth. Every workspace also offers 24/7 access so that your growing team’s working preferences can be accommodated, improving work-life balance and productivity.
Attract a wider talent pool
Scaling your business successfully means finding the right people to work with. Flexible office space can help you do this by providing workspaces across multiple locations. This means recruiting from a wider talent pool, offering access to high-quality workspaces even if your team is spread geographically. Clockwise has 18 flexible workspaces across the UK and mainland Europe, in strategic locations easily accessible by road, rail, and air. So even if a key team member wants to move from Exeter to Edinburgh, they will still be able to enjoy the benefits of Clockwise membership in their new city. Keeping remote workers connected to the rest of the team is easy too, thanks to state-of-the-art video conferencing technology and secure, high-speed WiFi available in every location.
