The first and only facilities of its kind, this new boutique office center/conference area/networking hub located at 1113 West Main Street in Richmond VA supports home-based entrepreneurs, freelancers, those looking to start their own business venture, and anyone else in need of transitional facilities. “There is a great need for small business and home office proprietors to have public meeting resources, networking opportunities and professional development seminars without the overhead of a fulltime office,” comments Ted Randler, WorkMagazine’s Executive Editor. “Telecommuting and technology allow folks to work from home, but one’s home isn’t always the best place to meet and greet clients.”

To accommodate those with a part-time need for office space and a full-time need to connect with other entrepreneurs, The Work Factory provides member businesses with a place to meet clients, state-of-the-art work stations that can be accessed from home computers around the clock, high-speed wireless internet access, and printer/copier amenities as well as an array of services ranging from technology support to accounting advice.

A Different Kind of Business Space
What sets the space apart from typical, drab conference centers is its emphasis on personality and creativity. More than providing a place to merely “do business,” The Work Factory makes all members feel comfortable and above all, inspired. “As a business publication, blending our publishing offices with a facility for business innovation seemed like a natural fit,” Randler says. “We wanted to mix a sense of nostalgia—the kitschy ’50’s idea of an office/factory—with the Wifi-cozy atmosphere of a contemporary coffee shop.”

Aside from fulfilling the business needs of its clients, the new space is also fun, juxtaposing funky furniture, meeting rooms, a private patio, and a user-friendly kitchenette with the weathered, professional look of a building dating back to 1920s. Structured enough to focus in, relaxed enough to kick back in, The Work Factory is THE place where small-time capitalists can get down to big-time business.
