Flexible Offices and Coworking in Luxembourg

 Flexible Offices and Coworking in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Luxembourg is our favorite city, and it's also where Fiveoffices was born! With its dynamic economy and strategic position in Europe, it has become a fertile ground for the development of coworking spaces and flexible offices. These spaces meet the growing demand for flexibility and modernity in the work environment.

Accessibility and Transportation: Optimal Connectivity

Since March 1, 2020, all modes of public transportation in the Grand Duchy, including trams, trains, and buses, are free for everyone, whether residents, cross-border workers, or tourists. You can access any destination comfortably thanks to an interconnected network of buses, trains, and trams.

Urban centers, as well as the southern and northern agglomerations of the country, are particularly well-served by public transportation. Even more rural regions have guaranteed service, both on weekdays and weekends. You can easily find information about connections through the "Mobiliteit.lu" application or the Mobilitéitszentral (Mobility Center) website

In addition, the country has enhanced cross-border connections, with direct access to the German, French, and Belgian networks. This allows you to easily travel by high-speed German ICE trains or French TGV trains through Luxembourg City. To plan your cross-border journeys, consult the Mobiregio platform for the Greater Region.

Coworking spaces in the country benefit from excellent public transportation, making them easily accessible from various locations:

• Trains: The central station offers frequent connections to the main cities in the country and beyond.
• Buses: A dense network covers the entire Grand Duchy, including bus lines to business districts like Cloche d'Or and Kirchberg.
• Tram: The development of the tram improves access to Kirchberg, one of the main business districts.

1. Amélys: Luxembourgish and French cuisine in an elegant setting.

Advantages of Coworking in Luxembourg

Coworking spaces and flexible offices in Luxembourg not only provide places; they offer a new vision of work. Being in a coworking or flexible office means a significant cost reduction while improving employee satisfaction and well-being.

The flexibility of coworking meets the expectations of the new generations of workers and adapts to the needs of both large companies and startups.

The development of coworking spaces in Luxembourg is symptomatic of a shift in the concept of work and the professional environment. This movement towards more flexibility and innovation is essential for attracting and retaining talent in a competitive market. With varied options and exceptional connectivity, Luxembourg asserts itself as a privileged location for companies looking to evolve in a dynamic and future-oriented environment.

Advantages of Coworking in Luxembourg

In Luxembourg, coworking spaces stand out for their friendliness, fostering creativity and productivity. Whether you are a freelancer, a small business owner, or a corporate executive, coworking offers a range of solutions adapted to all needs, with competitive rents compared to the European average.

In Luxembourg, coworking offers an interesting alternative to traditional spaces with long-term lease contracts. It can be managed by an operator or shared with other teams. In the capital, there are several coworking spaces that provide solutions tailored to contemporary workers.

The flexibility offered by coworking and service contracts, compared to traditional long-term leases, is a significant advantage. It allows you to choose from various options, such as coworking, occupying an office managed by a professional, or even sharing with other companies. All these benefits are included in a turnkey contract ranging from 2 to 24 months, renewable if necessary.

By choosing coworking, you can enjoy a professional work environment that includes additional services, such as equipped meeting rooms and an atmosphere conducive to productivity. Moreover, there are different rates and packages tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are a small growing company, a freelancer, or simply looking for temporary workspace, a meeting room, coworking in Luxembourg is a practical and cost-effective solution. So, don't hesitate to explore the many coworking spaces in Luxembourg City to find the one that perfectly suits your professional activity.

The offer of flexible offices in Luxembourg is recent. The rise of teleworking and the demand for flexibility and tranquility for companies have favored the growth of turnkey spaces in the last decade.

One of the advantages of coworking spaces is that the price is all-inclusive. Everything is included in the price, without surprises. Cleaning, security, wifi, electricity, heating, charges, everything is taken into account! There are no additional taxes, fees, or other taxes to consider because everything is included 100%, even meeting rooms or your favorite relaxation room!

Some coworking spaces in Luxembourg also offer flexible rates, allowing entrepreneurs to only pay for the space and extras they actually need, when they need them. This approach allows them to efficiently manage their workspace and budget, avoiding unnecessary expenses. Prices are usually transparent, with no hidden fees, allowing office managers to accurately predict the future costs of their workspace.

Number of Available Workstations in Luxembourg

What is the maximum number of workstations that can be reserved in a coworking space in Luxembourg? The range goes from a single workstation to an unlimited number of workstations. Typically, requests are for access for 5 to 10 people in private offices. However, some coworking spaces offer the rental of entire floors with several dozen seats.

If you are looking for a single workstation, you have the choice between an "all-access pass" or a private office with one workstation. It is also possible to have a private office for 2 workstations. Prices range from 300 euros for the pass to 600 euros for a private office, monthly (not daily, obviously).

For a small team, consisting of 5 to 10 workstations, you can opt for an open space, but most clients prefer a private office. Some even choose to share offices with other companies, which is more akin to shared renting than coworking. If you appreciate this model, Fiveoffices also offers this option. In fact, we share our spaces with 3 other companies. 

Your choice will depend on your personal preferences, the size of your team, your budget, your typical workday, the available transportation options, and most importantly, your current objectives. Fiveoffices is here to help you explore the different options and guide you towards the spaces that best meet your professional expectations.

In summary, in Luxembourg, you have many coworking options offering spaces, areas, and meeting rooms tailored to all needs.

Duration of Coworking Commitment in Luxembourg

The commitment duration is flexible, allowing you to choose according to your needs, ranging from a few weeks to 35 months. This adaptability allows you to focus on developing your business while benefiting from an office solution that evolves with you.

Cross-Border Work, Remote Work, and Coworking

The exercise of professional activities through remote work, whether partially or fully, can have implications for taxation and social security. As of January 1, 2023, agreements between Luxembourg, France, and Belgium allow for up to 34 days of teleworking per year. In Germany, this limit was previously 19 days. Since January 1, 2024, it has also been 34 days. These numbers are calculated based on a full year of full-time work, 40 hours per week, from January 1 to December 31. If the employment contract is part-time or the work year is not complete, this limit of 34 days or 19 days must be prorated based on the country of residence.

Since the framework agreement signed on June 5, 2023, and applicable from July 1, 2023, any non-resident employee working in Luxembourg can carry out their activities remotely, among other places, in their country of residence while remaining subject to social legislation.

It is important to consult the CCSS link to learn about the social conditions related to this framework agreement on remote work.

Before July 1, the limit not to be exceeded was 25% (unless modified agreement for the transitional period). However, caution must be exercised as this can be very costly, as we will see in the following examples.

To learn more about the extended transitional period regarding affiliation to social security for cross-border workers, please consult the indicated link.

Fiveoffices Accompaniment Service

Fiveoffices offers space rental in the Grand Duchy with a 0% commission! You have a wide choice, with coworking options, variable duration service spaces, or shared spaces with other companies, all privatized (sometimes in open spaces).

In addition, you will benefit from personalized assistance from a competent and impartial sales representative who will help you define your search criteria and accompany you throughout the process until the contract is signed. Fiveoffices offers you the opportunity to discover flexible offices that are twice as cool in this district of the capital, with spaces ranging from 1 workstation to 100 workstations, hundreds of available places, and approximately 40 new listings published every week. Our qualified teams specialize in this field all year round!

If you are looking for a collaborative workspace in Luxembourg, our coworking network is at your disposal. We offer many coworking spaces in different neighborhoods, equipped with all the necessary services to allow you to work in the best conditions: private spaces, meeting rooms, rental rooms, cafes, etc.

There are many reasons not to opt for a traditional commercial lease of 3-6-9 years: first, you don't have to plan for investment expenses because the work, layout, decoration, and furniture are already included. In addition, the rent is all-inclusive, encompassing fees, taxes, electricity, heating, insurance, fitting out and decorating works, furniture, internet, cleaning, maintenance, and supplies such as coffee and printing. You also benefit from great flexibility in terms of commitment, from 2 to 36 months, and you can move in quickly in less than 48 hours.

• If you are a startup, a long-term commitment may be unsuitable. Therefore, you are looking for ready-to-use spaces that allow for easy expansion or quick termination with short notice. This can take the form of one or more offices in a coworking space, a turnkey independent space for a minimum of 6 months, or a "sublease" in Luxembourg for at least 12 months.
• If you are an SME, even with some experience and long-term establishment, opting for a service contract for your offices allows you to better manage the hosting capacities of your employees. Flexibility is essential for agility in your business. Coworking offers you the opportunity to place a project team in a coworking space for a few weeks or months, quickly open local branches to test the market without significant initial investments, or reduce the size of your offices while increasing amenities for your employees, such as a cafeteria, a gym, or a concierge.
• If you are a large company, you may face several challenges. Your headquarters may be located on the outskirts, making it difficult to attract talent, especially as teleworking develops and your offices risk being empty. You may also lack space in your current premises to fulfill a new contract and may temporarily need more surface area. Lastly, if your real estate department is tired of managing commercial leases and wants to move to a flexible solution across multiple sites in France, we can handle the feasibility study, search for spaces that meet your needs, and even provide you with a single monthly invoice for multiple sites.
