A Bahamian shared work space provider is expanding its office offerings to a new Bay Street location that will cater to corporate clients.

Incudesk, which launched nine months ago, has seen its inaugural 12-office Chesapeake Road location fully occupied with a waiting list of more than 100 persons. The company was started by William Bastian, its president, and Ericka Wilson, its vice-president, who themselves are small business owners.

Mr Bastian told Tribune Business: “When we set out we wanted multiple locations. We just didn’t expect it to happen this quick. Our expansion into Number One Bay Street is going to be for the corporate sector of Incudesk; a bit more upscale with a lot more services. It will includes services such as our concierge; something were really excited about.”

Ms Wilson added: “At this point we have over 150 members. We have a waiting list of over 100. Our demand for private offices is dramatically increasing; not just from locals but internationally as well.

“We have international members that utilise our services when they come to The Bahamas. Incudesk Corporate will be at a different price point than we offer here [at Chesapeake Road] but will still be very much affordable and everything will be automated. Even though the demand is there we’re making this move because we’re ready as a company to do it.”

Both Mr Bastian and Ms Wilson agreed that the strong demand for Incudesk’s work space offerings has demonstrated the difficulty start-ups and small businesses have in finding affordable offices from which to conduct their business and meetings.
