It is common for plug and play offices and co-working offices to be confused by their characteristic of being equipped to start work as soon as possible. However, the main difference between these offices is the length of lease they have. While co-working offices offer day-to-day or hourly space rentals, plug and play offices are leased for longer periods of even years.

In addition, co-working offices are usually equipped with electronic equipment, or amenities for coffee breaks. Plug and Play offices offer you furniture in good condition, with wiring and telecommunications infrastructure (WiFi) and the basic equipment for an office.

Which workspaces will we find?

These offices have various workspaces that adapt to the needs of different employees of a company. The spaces can vary between individual work rooms, group work, conference and meeting rooms, and even spaces for phone calls.

Furniture such as desks, chairs, printers, and teleconferencing technology must be present. Remember that the main thing is to get there, connect, and work.

Plug & Play offices have become particularly popular after the pandemic, when we find ourselves with a large inventory of offices that have literally been equipped. Currently, some of them are offered under this model and others are built with this approach, which is very attractive for companies that are getting back on their feet or starting operations, since equipping an office requires a significant investment and in the case of Plug & Play offices, this amount is diluted in the monthly rental payment.
