Newbury – Geauga County is getting its first Class A coworking space. Bonitas International, located at 11110 Kinsman Rd, Newbury Township, OH 44065, proudly introduces a 15,000 square foot workplace branded “The Bonitas – Be Bold, Be Brave and Be Brilliant,” which officially opens its doors on May 3, 2018 in celebration of small business week. Coworking, or shared office spaces allows for an open work environment where freelancers, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, telecommuters and small businesses can mix, mingle, and collaborate.
“Of the 30 million small businesses in the U.S., 23 million people are “solopreneurs.” This increase in self-employment, as well as advancements in technology, is changing how people work. We see evidence in every neighborhood cafe: laptop screens, conference calls while drinking coffee and crowded tables. Freelancers, independent consultants, telecommuters, and other people working from home are looking for a new place to work, connect with people, and get away from the distractions that creep in while working at home. The coffee house has traditionally filled that role–but was always a compromise with loud noises, small tables and unreliable Wi-Fi.” says Kimberly Martinez, a former Geauga County resident and cofounder of the new venture.
In addition to fewer distractions than in the typical work-from-home situation, coworking often results in a synergy created from a community of like-minded participants. Coworking provides face-to-face interactions, with the added benefit of new friends and networking opportunities.
“The Bonitas” Co-founder Lisa Harrington was responsible for the building design concept and layout. “The space is designed to solve problems many freelancers face, like providing a professional environment to meet with clients by providing a stunning 20-person conference room, creating quiet areas to focus in a space with private work areas and the opportunity to fill our need to connect with communal spaces for collaborations and our yoga/ exercise studio to optimize well-being and help manage stress. The colors and furnishings create a modern edge. But more importantly, The “B” expands beyond our space. Our goal is to be connected to our entire community including artists, techies, students, businesses and startups.
Our purpose is to allow entrepreneurs to connect to the people, resources and talent they need to be successful.”
