Hey Cristina, Welcome to the group!
I have a free starter kit that includes a basic business model template here: http://nwc.co There's also a more robust premium package here: http://nwc.co/3/coworking-business-model-template/ Coworking has become incredibly diverse, so there are different ways of approaching the model based on the needs in your region and your own personal disposition. This can include: 1. Just a casual club 2. Coworking in under-utilized space (restaurants, cafes, etc) 3. Coworking only 4. Coworking + cafe 5. Coworking + consultancy 6. Coworking + private offices 7. Coworking + events & educational programming 8. Coworking at scale And many more. When I work with a new client to help them with their planning, one of the first things I'll do is get a sense of which of the above models might be the best fit for their interests. Often they already have an idea in mind, though it's still good to go through the process of examining all of the possibilities—I frequently help people temper their expectations by recommending starting with something smaller, to help pave the way for a more ambitious undertaking. Once you have a rough idea of the high-level approach you want to pursue, then you can start looking at numbers to get an idea of how a model might work. What you may find, however, is that unless you happen to already have an existing community or related network and a space lined up, it may be a while before you can get too specific—building interest in the project and rallying stakeholders around the general idea will likely be necessary before you can plug in real-life numbers with a real-life space. Once you have a particular space in your sights, you can plug in the actual square footage and cost per square foot (at least that's how we do it with my templates) to get accurate projections and an estimate of what you'd have to charge to make it profitable. I hope that helps! Would you like to tell us a little more about your project?
