Private office vs coworking
Both live inside flexible workspace, but they serve different needs. A coworking membership gives you a desk in a shared room, cheapest and most social. A private office is a lockable room for your team within the same building, with more focus, security and branding.
Choosing between them
Solo founders and very small teams often start on coworking desks, then graduate to a private office as they hire and need confidentiality and quiet. Both include reception, internet and meeting-room access, and both let you scale room-by-room without a long lease. It is common to mix: private offices for the core team, coworking passes for visitors.
