Frequently Asked Questions

DeskShare is a platform that connects companies with unused desks, private offices, or meeting rooms with individuals or small teams who need flexible workspace in Pakistan. We bridge the gap between companies with spare space and freelancers, startups, and remote workers who need affordable, professional workspace without long-term commitments.

Any company or organization that has unused desks or rooms and has the right/permission to rent them out temporarily can list on DeskShare. This includes businesses with spare office space, meeting rooms that aren't always in use, or companies that have downsized but still have extra workspace.

Freelancers, remote workers, small teams, startups, consultants, and anyone who needs a professional workspace for short periods and prefers flexibility over long leases. Perfect for those who need workspace occasionally or are testing different locations.

We offer various workspace options to suit different needs:

• Open/Hot Desks: Individual workstations in shared areas
• Private Offices: Dedicated private spaces for focused work
• Meeting Rooms: Spaces for client meetings or team discussions
• Flexible Use: Book by the hour, day, or week as needed

Pricing depends on the type of space, location, amenities, duration, and frequency. Providers set their own prices, and DeskShare may charge a commission or service fee. For example, in Karachi, day passes often start around PKR 2,000, while meeting rooms may vary by hour. We ensure transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

No minimum contract required! One of our main advantages is flexibility. Many listings allow short-term booking by the hour or day. However, some providers may offer discounts or better rates for longer commitments or frequent users.

It depends on the provider and space availability. Some listings allow same-day bookings, while others prefer advance notice. We'll show real-time availability calendars on each listing so you can see what's possible and plan accordingly.

Each listing has its own cancellation and reschedule policy clearly stated. We require all providers to specify their terms upfront. Refunds, credits, or rescheduling options depend on the provider's policy and timing of the cancellation.

Absolutely! Many listings are for partial availability, such as weekdays only or specific hours. When creating a listing, providers can specify exactly which days and hours they offer, making it perfect for companies that only have spare space during certain times.

We maintain high quality standards through several measures:

• Required photos and detailed descriptions of each space
• Verification of provider identity and business registration
• Minimum standards for internet speed, power backup, and cleanliness
• Review and rating system by actual users
• Regular quality checks and feedback monitoring

Standard amenities include:

• High-speed internet connection
• Reliable electricity with backup power
• Professional furniture and seating
• Air conditioning and climate control
• Clean restrooms and kitchen facilities
• Access during business hours (or 24/7 if specified)
• Meeting rooms and presentation equipment (varies by location)

If the space doesn't meet what was advertised, renters can report the issue within a defined period through our platform. DeskShare will work directly with the provider to resolve the issue quickly. Refunds or credits may apply depending on the severity of the issue and our policies.

If you're a provider, you must ensure your lease or ownership allows you to sublet or share space. DeskShare requires confirmation of these rights when listing. We recommend checking any landlord agreements and getting written consent if needed. We provide guidance on legal requirements for Pakistani businesses.

Payments are processed securely through DeskShare's payment system. Renters pay at the time of booking, and providers receive payment after usage or according to an agreed payout schedule. All fees are transparent and disclosed upfront with secure transfer methods.

DeskShare charges a platform commission or booking fee on top of the provider's listing price. Providers pay a portion to DeskShare for using our platform, while renters pay the listed price plus any applicable platform fees. All fees are clearly disclosed before booking.
