Self-Employment Has Increased The Demand For Co-working Spaces- Venia Boss
Category: Business News
Self-employment once considered vaguely disreputable, a term frequently
mumbled under one’s breathe and struggled to explain to friends and family has
become the largest growing sector in the Nigerian workforce.
It has come a long way from the concept of working in pajamas at home to
securing small, mid-size or large offices in shared spaces like Venia
Business Hub.
CEO Venia Group, parent company to Venia Business Hub, Kola Oyeneyin has
stated that the new era of self-employment has increased the demand for
serviced co-working spaces. “Apparently Nigerians are not waiting for
government to create jobs for them, they are creating jobs for themselves and
hiring others in the process”, he said.
The
serial entrepreneur who recently launched
his second business hub, a one-of-its-kind fully serviced affordable
co-working
space in Lekki Phase 1, stated in a release by the company; “Start-ups,
SMEs
and multinationals alike have a
driven demand for a new, flexible place to do business. There is nothing
like working elbow-to-elbow with interrelated companies-
feeding off, learning from and growing with one another in an enabling
environment”.
“Today we are experiencing a brand new culture where businesses don’t
necessarily see themselves as competitors but as co-habitants in the
eco-system. They have realized that they need each other. They want to belong
to something bigger than themselves and that is what Venia Business Hub
provides”, he added.
Venia Business Hub is the leader, by far, in a surging co-working and
serviced space trend in Nigeria. From setting up Venia Hub 1 in 2011 to the launch of the state-of-the-art premium
affordable workspaces at Hub 2 in December 2015, the company is fast growing
with plans to expand in infrastructure and partnerships across Nigeria and
Africa.
“Over the years we have built a community made up of start-ups, SMEs
and multinationals and are providing members of the hub with services beyond
just office spaces but an enabling environment to do business in Nigeria
without operational worries”, Oyeneyin stated.
Smack in the middle of a bubbling entrepreneurial driven
ecosystem, Venia Business Hubs serve as platforms for job creation, enterprise
building and collaborations. The business advisory services provided to both
members and non-members of the hub has been one of the major value-adds to
numerous Nigerian early-stage businesses.
Members of Venia Business Hub also enjoy high speed Internet services,
fully kitted conference room with video conferencing services, stocked
kitchenette and cafeteria and many other value added services.
Oyeneyin
believes that Venia Business Hub can be transformational to the budding
entrepreneurial and evolving white-collar industry, with plans to expand to
other districts within Lagos before the year runs out.
