The companies now don't require a full scale office. They can downsize the seating space to half or even lower.

Its a Win-Win

Companies now opting coworking space can size up or down based on their in-house staff. Not only this, they don't have the burden of office maintenance, security and utilities as they are all covered by the owners of the coworking space.
