Hi Mark, great to hear that you will open a space in Iowa.
>From my experience it is hard to get public money, because as jonathan said city governments are generally low on money and unlikley invest in such a new thing as coworking. From what I know other people succeeded by getting a bunch of full time members on board that pay some months in advance. We started coworking out of a normal normal office with one desk left over. After getting enough momentum and some long term members we moved to a bigger place to offer real coworking. Hope that helps Cheers Thilo coworking: http://co-up.de coworking managment: http://cobot.me On Sep 10, 3:54 pm, Mark in Iowa City <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings everyone, > We are in the process of developing a coworking facility in Iowa City, > IA. > Wondering if any of your spaces received any public assistance to get > started or to help subsidize your ongoing costs and if so, how did > that work? > > Also, if anyone is willing to share some basic financials with us it > would be greatly appreciated and helpful in our development of a > business plan. just monthly costs (obviously they will differ by > market) like rent, internet, phone, etc > > Any thoughts appreciated. > marknolte at iowacityarea.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
