Freelancers of Bedfordshire: Co‑Working vs WFH

Freelancing gives you freedom, co-working gives you momentum. If you work across Bedfordshire, Ampthill is an easy base with strong community and client‑ready space.

Co‑working vs WFH

• Focus: fewer house distractions and a clear start/finish to the day.
• Professionalism: booths and meeting rooms beat kitchen‑table calls.
• Energy: being around other doers lifts output, without the office politics.

Keep costs lean

Start with day passes, then move to a flexible monthly plan as your pipeline grows. The right tier pays for itself in velocity and client perception.

Simple ROI mini‑calculator

Break‑even hours for a day pass = (day‑pass price) ÷ (your hourly rate). If your rate is £x and a pass is £y, you only need y÷x hours of extra focus or one client win to cover it.

A practical starter path

1. Try one day pass for your hardest work (proposal writing, month‑end, client prep).
2. Add one ‘client day’ per week on site, calls in a booth, reviews in a meeting room.
3. When your pipeline grows, move to a flexible membership so space scales with your week.
4. Block The Sanctuary for deep work before/after big meetings.

Next steps

• Book a day pass for your next proposal or sprint.
• Pre‑book a booth or meeting room for client days.
• Test the commute and routine for a week, then choose the tier that fits.
