Shared office space is technically a form of subleasing. It is also similar to an executive suite. Basically, in a shared office situation, you will be able to lease anywhere from a single workstation to an entire group of office suites, depending on what is available. In theses situations, companies with extra or unused office space will choose to rent out the space to others. In this situation, you will be sharing all of the surrounding facilities (kitchen, conference rooms, reception area) with the company that you are leasing the space from. All office supplies and furniture may also be provided in these situations.

Shared office space situations are ideal for small companies or individuals who do not want to lease an entire office space, but are rather looking for an already furnished space that they can utilize immediately without a long term commitment.
