Use Peerspace to rent a coworking space in Birmingham

The first step is to begin searching the Peerspace website for your perfect coworking space.

Start out at the Peerspace homepage and input what you’ll be using the space for (presumably a work session, meeting, or some other professional event). Also include the area in which you’re planning to rent it (in this case, Birmingham and its surrounding areas).

Once the search results load, be sure to zoom out a bit on the map. This will update your search to include some more distant options as well (the search takes place within the area of the map that’s visible on your screen).

Then, filter your search results according to your top priorities to really narrow things down and make sure your results only include ideal options. You can filter the search according to criteria like price, the number of attendees, keywords in the listing, interior and outdoor spaces, amenities, and more.

Once you’ve narrowed it down, you’ll find that every individual listing includes detailed descriptions and plenty of high-quality photos of the space. Many listings also have reviews from those who’ve rented the spaces previously, giving you a realistic idea of what it’s like to rent the space in question.

How to rent a coworking space in Birmingham

Peerspace’s search tool significantly streamlines the task of renting a suitable coworking space in your area. But before you actually start searching, you’ll want to establish what your definition of a suitable Birmingham coworking space would be.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself to help you figure that out:

• What is your budget? Establish this one first, if possible, before you really start looking for a place. Otherwise, you might end up wasting time considering spaces that end up being outside of your actual budget.
• What will you be using the coworking space for? A space like a boardroom is more appropriate for a formal group meeting, while a more casual apartment-style space is going to work better for events like company off-sites.
• How many people will be using the coworking space with you? This one is pretty clear: if it’s just you, you’ll need a lot less space than for a larger group of people. Some Peerspace listings can accommodate hundreds of people, while others have space for less than 10.
• How long will you need the space for? Keep in mind that some Peerspace listings have minimum rental periods of more than one hour. Conversely, you can rent others for a minimum of one hour if desired.
• What amenities do you require at your coworking space rental? Are you looking for a coworking space with audio and video equipment needed for Zoom meetings? Or is your biggest concern finding a space with a projector for presentations? These are other questions to figure out ASAP.
• Are there any other important criteria that are definite must-haves for your coworking space of choice?

By this point, you understand the ins and outs of how and where to find a coworking space in Birmingham using Peerspace. You’re probably curious about what kinds of coworking spaces are available in the area. If that’s the case, keep reading for three unique examples ahead.
