How great to see Coworking Frederick thriving! I think the idea situation is owning the building and would not give that up. And moving is not I think all that easy for a community.
Is it possible to open another location instead of moving? It is what we have done. All the locations we have are joint venture or revenue sharing, except the original which is in a building I own. All new memberships, approaches, ideas, and what have you start in that location, because owning the place gives you so much more flexibility to try things out. It is not an approach I recommend for everybody, because for starters it is important to be able to work with the expectations and wishes of the partner and not everybody is really up for that. In general landlords are in a different head space than spae operators and it is necessary to be very clear about what they expect and what you expect. People do tend to be rather more hopeful than clear in approaching this kind of project and that can make things difficult two yearws out just when everything starts rocking along. Just some thoughts, always open to more discussion! Jeannine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
