I'm currently renting a two-room office for 4000 lira. The landlord wants to raise it to 5000. I'm considering a coworking alternative, where desks can be rented for 1500-2000 lira. But I couldn't do the full math, which one is better?
Decision criteria: 1- Number of employees (3 people = desk is cheaper, 10 people = office is cheaper), 2- Stability (office = fixed location, coworking = flexible) 3- Extra costs (office = heating, electricity, water; coworking = all included).
Your 4000 lira for 2 rooms = 2000 per person (for 2 people). If coworking is 1500/person coworking is cheaper (advantage: you can change desks, no procurement hassle). But watch out for networking, coworking offers connections with other people.
i sat in a coworking space bro, it was great. honestly no rent hikes, flexible, and i found a network too... but with 3-4 people a private office might be better. i know some coworking places have private rooms, that's a hybrid option
edit: fixed a few typos.
Math: 1- Office 5000 lira (rent only) + 500 (electricity, internet, water) 2- Coworking 2000/person (5 people = 10k, 3 people = 6k)... honestly depending on volume which is cheaper: 3 people coworking is cheaper, 5+ people office is cheaper.
Wondering: how many people work in that office currently? Because the coworking advantage changes depending on the headcount.
bro switching to coworking when rent goes up is supeer smart! anyway flexible good networking low costs then stay in coworking for 1-2 years then get a private office when the business grows... good luck!

rent: the landlord's choice solves your problem. :) Switching to coworking could be great, it's flexible, cheap and good for networking. think about it.

You're right I've been down that road too. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.
Good luck with that.
Let me summarize what's been said so far. Measure first, then divide. When the order is right, the debate ends.
Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
timely topic but if it's your first time, stat small; scaling comes later.
people defend habits, not processes. resistance comes from there then if I were you, I'd go this route.
I have no experience with moving due to rent increase, so I'm asking. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
My questions are cleared up, thanks. Everyone rushing into moving due to rent increase gets stuck at the same point.
Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.
we got stuck at the same point for a while and anyway everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.
if you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.
Timely topic. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.
That's all, sorry if I went on too long.
Let me share my experience. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Correct. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.
The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule. Hope this helps.
Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.
