I've never personally seen coworking offered on a credit system like this, at least not first-party through the coworking space.
Payment is due at the start of each membership period (generally monthly). I HIGHLY recommend setting up an auto-debit option so that you're not chasing invoices every month. Our first few years there were basically no tools available to easily and securely charge a card on file - now there are many and basically all of the coworking platforms support them. For larger payments (multi-month pre-payments, or single payers covering multiple memberships) we will accept a check but those are due immediately as well. We already assume the risk/liability of our leases and overhead, and give people the ability to pay monthly (vs long term agreements or prepayments). I'm not taking on a prospective members' business risks, too ;) I DID recently see this company which is offering a special line of credit for coworking deposits and some other "income smoothing" type tools: https://www.salaryo.com <https://mltrk.io/link/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salaryo.com/PZS5z4YK2RkggFfaiC0r> But I haven't heard any first hand accounts of how it works, only their press and sales pitch. -Alex ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Better Coworkers: http://indyhall.org Weekly Coworking Tips: http://coworkingweekly.com My Audiobook: https://theindyhallway.com/ten On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 12:47 PM, Chi-chi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > To anyone who may have some insight, is it a customary thing to sell > membership on credit... or is it expected that a customer/member pays > immediately for access to your coworking space.
