For small businesses in Chicago, the benefits of a shared office provider, like Amata, are many. But the biggest benefit of being a shared office tenant may surprise you. And no, it’s not the café. It’s the ready-made business networking opportunity right outside your office door.
The Amata Difference
Lawyers, marketers, IT professionals, healthcare professionals – dozens of different industry professionals – interact each day at Amata Office Centers, sharing conference space, amenities and, yes, the café. But even more valuable are the networking contacts they share.
What’s special about Amata is that we have many shared office and virtual office clients who count other Amata users among their client roster, having met at one of the networking events we host or simply in the halls of one of Amata’s office centers. And many have taken these networking opportunities to the next level, tapping into each other as resources for their clients, too. This could be an advertising executive connecting his client with a web designer in the office next door, or an attorney putting her client in touch with the registered dietician down the hall.
So when you’re shopping for shared office space in Chicago, be sure to ask about networking opportunities with your fellow shared office professionals. Those contacts represent a whole new field of prospects for your small business.
And speaking of new business opportunities, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our latest Chicago shared officecenter, located at 150 S. Wacker Drive. For more information on the new center, visit www.amatacorp.com. Or connect with Amata on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for sneak peeks inside the new center, information on our networking events, and more.
Until next time,
