Hi, I manage a network of coworking spaces in Portugal, e have to spaces, one in Braga and another one in Lisbon.
The cost of our coworking space investment were envolved in a much larger investment in a Business Center, because coworking is only one of a wide variety of services that we provide for companies. In Braga we invested 5Meuros, in buying and building our facilities. In a building that has 10.000 m2. I think that a facility that has only coworking does not provide a good image to coworkers, because they need that their visitants assume that the coworker has a backoffice that is able to provide all their client needs.. If a visitant enters our Business Center, to a meeting with our cowworker client, he doesn't hnow that the coworker is in a coworking space, because the meeting is in our meeting rooms, used also by larger companies... to see our concept, look in: http://www.ideia-atlantico.pt/Servicos-Solucoes/espaco-nomada-open-space-empreendedores.html On Jan 31, 4:33 am, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > I was thinking about writing a blog article about the costs of > starting a coworking space on my website and I thought what the hell? > Why not just start a thread here and get actual feedback from people > who have been through all this before.
