Hi Ramon, 

What I meant is, for our first and second membership locations (second one 
is opening November 
1st: 
http://collectiveagency.co/2016/10/07/press-release-after-five-years-collective-agency-members-start-second-location-at-3050-se-division/
 
) people voted on a general need and geographic area of interest, and then 
visited a location, and for the first location members prepaid rent (and 
one person who didn't want to be a member but wanted to support, gave a 
donation) and I put in $35 of my own money and risked being paid (and we 
recouped all expenses within 5 weeks), and for the second membership 
location members prepaid more than 100% of what was needed to prepay the 
lease and furniture/equipment to start.

For our second meetings location, we're paying base monthly rent to an art 
gallery and sharing a percentage of gross revenue when the base rent is 
exceeded, and doing a timeshare. Their artists provide the art, and we 
provide the meetings. (It also recouped all expenses in the first 5 weeks 
and total revenue was 2x total expenses after 4 months.)

In both cases, there are regular weekly meetings and members ask for and 
make happen what they very much want, including setting the rates 
(self-governance), at Collective Agency for the membership locations and at 
the art gallery for their artist co-op members (and here for the second 
meeting location, which was inspired because enough members here strongly 
didn't want part of our Loft to be blocked off for a new conference room to 
be built).

Hi Ramon,

You might want to have a look at what La Cordée in France is doing. They 
have a dedicated page on their website where people can register their 
interest for new locations:

http://www.la-cordee.net/les-projets-de-nouvelles-cordees/

They are not franchises as such but still their system seems to work!

Improvements to come in the future. I would still appreciate your help :)
