[Coworking] Re: Running Coworking During a Recession....

Angel - This is great. I hope that operators keep this in a handy spot to pull out when (assuming) the next economic downturn comes. As someone that opened centers in both 2008 and 2009 - when I thought things were tough but had no idea what misery was to come - I would say a lot of this is 'r

[Coworking] Want to start up...should I buy or lease a co-working space?

Hi everyone, I am thinking about starting a co-working space in New England (USA) and I was wondering if it is better to buy a building or lease an existing building. I am also looking to buy a house right now and was wondering if I could roll a co-working space and house into the same propert

Hey Craig, How big is your coworking community? Is it primarily members or non-members that are renting the space? -Scott On Fri, Oct 26, 2018 at 10:09 AM Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking < baut...@gmail.com> wrote: > 6 months update: > The podcastings studio is just now starting to get

[Coworking] Re: We are setting up a podcast studio. Any advice?

6 months update: The podcastings studio is just now starting to get traction.The studio only had one or two uses a month, charging $15 an hour, for the first three months. Now it's starting to pick up to about 5 to 7 reservations a month. Overall, it has been a poor investment from a P & L stand

[Coworking] Opus Virtual Offices

Does anyone have any experience with Opus Virtual Offices? They called today asking if we would like to partner and provide mailbox services for their members and they will pay us $30/month to accept mail for their members. We are already set-up to accept mail for our members. I can't imagine t

RE: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Business Plan

I worked with the Small Business Development Center at my Community College. They were a great resource for me. 1. We looked at office space for rent in a 20-30 mile radius, what was included in the rent, what the office and surrounding neighborhood looked like. 2. I also did research online f

Re: [Coworking] Commissions on rentals by a real estate company or agent

Hi Steve, Other things to keep in mind: - will you pay comission on all your products - is there a minimum term the prospect needs to sogn up for - will you pay the broker when the tenant renews/renegotiates/expands - who will you grant the comission when 2 brokers sent you the same prospect - t

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Business Plan

This discussion is very important to me. We own our space (2 story office building--2800 sq ft, plus functional basement) -- two tenants including us intend to keep some of the space. My concern is the viability of the location, need, and interest in doing a co-op space in our neighborhood. How

Re: [Coworking] Commissions on rentals by a real estate company or agent

Industry standard seems to be 10% commission of the initial contract, up to the first 12 months. Some prepay those 12 mos of commission; others pay 10% per month paid. JEROME CHANG <> talk to us: (323) 330-9505 <> chat w/ us:  <>http://www.BLANKSPACES.com/chat S

[Coworking] Re: Commissions on rentals by a real estate company or agent

Hi, Steve, Whether it is legal or not will depend on where you are, laws very substantially. But in principle I can't think of any reason it would not be. Within the network of coworking spaces I operate, we generally pay the first month's rent for new signups; but this assumes a longer term
