Co-working space for female-owned businesses

At Office Co., we believe that where you work can shape how you grow - especially when you're building something of your own.

This Women’s Month, we’re proud to celebrate and support the incredible women who’ve transformed side hustles into thriving startups, right from our flexible workspaces in Brooklyn and Menlyn. Whether it’s a consultancy launched from a spare bedroom or a creative studio born between school runs, these women are building businesses with purpose - and we’re honoured to be part of their journey.

Built for Female-Owned Businesses

We know the leap from side hustle to full-time startup isn’t easy. That’s why our office spaces are designed with growing businesses in mind. From plug-and-play desks to professional boardrooms and flexible lease options, our spaces make scaling up feel less daunting and more doable.

Need a private office to meet with clients? A collaborative co-working space to feel less alone? A business address to elevate your brand? We’ve got you covered - no long-term commitments required.

A Supportive, Like-Minded Community

Working alongside other driven professionals — including many other female founders — helps create the kind of energy that keeps you moving forward. Whether you're bouncing ideas around the coffee machine or finding new clients in your own building, community really does matter.

And for women balancing multiple roles — business owner, caregiver, partner, friend — being part of a space that gets that is powerful.

Spotlight on the Women of Office Co.

Our tenants include inspiring female entrepreneurs and business owners across industries: from HR consultants and legal advisors to event planners, wellness practitioners, and digital marketers.

Each of them has a story of grit and growth. Many started small - with a dream and a side hustle - and used the flexibility of our spaces to expand at their own pace. Today, they’re running successful businesses with impact.
