Private office in Tirana: serviced office or a lease?
By Coolab · · 2 min read
When a team outgrows the kitchen table or the café, the next step in Tirana is usually one of two things: lease an office, or rent a private office in a coworking space. They solve the same problem in very different ways.
What is a private office in a coworking space?
A private office is a lockable room for your team inside a coworking space. You have your own four walls and your own key. The kitchen, the meeting rooms, the internet and the community are shared, and someone else looks after them.
What does a Coolab private office include?
From 60,000 L / month you get:
- a lockable office, open to your team 24/7
- sixteen meeting-room hours a month
- a business address for the company, with mail handled for you
- every event and workshop at Coolab
Private office or a traditional office lease?
| Private office at Coolab | Traditional lease | |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Move in when the room is free | Search, negotiate, sign, fit out |
| Furniture and internet | Ready | You buy and set them up |
| Utilities and cleaning | Not your problem | Separate contracts and bills |
| Meeting rooms | Sixteen hours a month included | Only if you build one |
| Kitchen and common areas | Shared, looked after | You equip your own |
| Business address | Included | Yes |
| People around | Other teams and freelancers | Only your team |
A lease can make sense for a large team that is sure of its size for years. For a team of two to eight people that might grow, or shrink, a private office keeps the cost predictable and the decision small.
What to check before you rent any office in Tirana
Whatever you choose, ask about:
- The total monthly cost: rent plus utilities, internet, cleaning, building fees and furniture.
- Access: can the team come in at night and at the weekend?
- Meeting space: where will you meet clients, and is it included?
- The address: can you register the company there and receive mail?
- Room to grow: what happens when you hire the next person?
- The invoice: do you get an Albanian fiscal invoice every month?
Who chooses a private office at Coolab?
A private office suits small teams that need a door that closes: a startup after its first round, a foreign company opening its first Tirana base, an agency with client calls all day. If you are one or two people, a dedicated desk may be enough.
