Redhalia, which also means ‘beautiful flower’, has launched its co-working space for start-ups that desire an office environment in a prime business location and provides mentorship for acceleration.
The co-working space which is located at Emina crescent, Toyin Street, Ikeja opened its doors in March 2017. The serviced office facility provides 24 hours electricity, fibre optic internet from MainOne, secretarial services and virtual services.
For the virtual office, users do not need to come in to work, but can use the office address. Redhalia will provide mail delivery and call services with the option of a dedicated phone line. Users can also take advantage of the international standard boardroom and meeting rooms available in the facility.
Florence Chikezie, founder and chief executive officer of Redhalia who spoke to BusinessDay said the company started out as a business media platform.
“We decided that young people need real information from real people and our writers are entrepreneurs, they are seasoned but they understand what it means to do business and when they write they can relate as they write from experience,” Chikezie said.
The idea for the co-working space came in 2016 when they brought together young entrepreneurs.
“We were able to gather what makes a business lag behind and one of them is internet and that has been a major problem. Another problem is the ability to come together to move the business forward after being established for long,” Chikezie said.
She noted that three things separate Redhalia from competition including location, brand and experience.
“Experience not in working spaces, we mean experience in running a business. It is also about the determination to be different. It goes beyond ecstatic. It is also about our customer.
relationship and we would be helping our clients market their services with our platform which we are really going to invest in. It is all about interaction and growing a community, we intend to build a different kind of community and we also have relationships with businesses where we get discounts. It is an aggregate of so many things,”
