Hi everyone I recently started the Coworking Content Alliance Facebook group to share content ideas, questions and resources and hold each other accountable with our content creation. Already we've had great conversations about Instagram

[Coworking] Re: Have anyone here applied Feng Shui in their coworking space decoration?

If I had to rate my knowledge of feng shui it would be 2 on a scale of 10 and if I had to rate my ability to use it while decorating I would give myself a 3 out of 10. My main tool is using mirrors to reflect light into dark spaces. Oh, and plants. The members really like having plants around.

Re: [Coworking] Mailbox Agreement

Hi Renee, Fill out Form 1583-A (just a 1 page form) and return it to your local post office. Also, you need to have each member fill out Form 1583 as well, and either show you 2 forms of ID or get it notarized and return it to you. (We actually automate this process for you if you join

YES!!! It will be very helpful as you sort through a range of ways to make and spend money!! Angel On Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 12:54:24 PM UTC-6, Kevin Haggerty wrote: > > I'm hugely appreciative of all who have weighed in. I know you are all > very busy, so it means a lot to me. > > Angel:

I'm hugely appreciative of all who have weighed in. I know you are all very busy, so it means a lot to me. Angel: I went ahead and picked up your cashflow spreadsheet. I can read through it while I'm listening to Alex's audiobook! :) -- Visit this forum on the web at

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

I'd like to add that square footage calculations can vary and mislead. For example, some markets list, say, 5000 "rentable sf" but that might include a proportional share of common areas in the overall building. Others list 5000sf plus a load factor, say, 30%. Focus on usable or net square

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

Correct, you claim 28ft2 as your work area but can then wander another 1,200ft2 of common areas throughout the day. Those number are super estimated as I've never measured the footage of our hallways, kitchen or patio. On Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 9:34:01 AM UTC-6, Alex Hillman wrote: > >

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

Our smallest office is 8x11 ft and rents for $425/month, our largest office is $208 ft2 and sells for $700/month but it's in the basement with only 1 little window. Aside from size, anything can be worked as a private office as long as it has a door, adding exterior windows seems to be the

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

Yes yes yes - look at Angel's numbers. I also really love the "total number of people/days you can sell per week" model. It's absolutely the most realistic. Also, in practice, we've learned that it's valuable to track the number of unused desks on a daily basis (even if it's a rough count) so you

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

Alex, Thank you! This is hugely helpful too! Totally hear you on adding value beyond the space. I've recently begun to talk to another local entrepreneur who had previously been interested in starting a local small business incubator. A mutual friend of ours (who acts as a mentor for us both)

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

While we're on the subject, is there a guideline for private office size (i.e. offices that are permanently rented out to members on a monthly or even yearly basis)? I was originally thinking 10'x10', which fits into the 100sf rule. But maybe it's different when you've got four walls to define

Re: [Coworking] "Corporate Memberships"

Hi All- Just revisiting this post as a lot has changed since my initial post. We have found that corporations are definitely interested in the idea of providing flexible options for their employees (for both recruiting and retaining employees). We've had Unum (a large insurance company) join

Re: [Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

Jen's numbers are pretty close - 100sf per person (that's counts for all common areas, too) is a decent rule of thumb. The 4-to-1 ratio only works on flex desks though, so that final count isn't quite right. I generally recommend staying between 40-60% full time desks, and keeping the rest

[Coworking] Re: Determining capacity

I once read that 100 sq ft per person is the norm for coworking spaces, and then you can multiply that up to 4 for a total membership cap (since not everyone will be there at all times). So, 5000 sq feet = 50 member capacity x 4 = 200 member cap. Jen On Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 8:50:08 PM

[Coworking] Re: Opening a coworking space

Hi Nick, I've just been reading this thread. How is your plan for a coworking space going? I'm looking to opening a space in Belfast, N.I. We also have regus here, they seem to be expensive and inflexible in their terms in comparison to what I hope to provide. I'd be interested to know
