[Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[WHERE MMM]

We do have some community based discounts and are exploring a wider reaching
scope. It would be great to collaborate with anyone who is also looking to
incorporate this incentive for members.

Have you ever tried to do any kind of affiliate program to attract members?
For example, offering discounts to currently members to each indication.

[Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[WHERE MMM]

We also offer a discount for our pre paying members (three month min) and to
our incubator businesses who bring in multiple members/ meetings as well as
CBO's who hold Board Meetings in an effort to promote community
collaboration/ support. It has been, perhaps, one of our most popular
efforts.

Re [Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[Steven Heath]

I would avoid the term lease as in many countries this implies many
legal things.

AltSpace works on monthly. The first month is until the day of the
next month and then we prorate the next month to get them on calendar
month billing.

We have some members just sign up for a month but they tell us at the
time. Fine by us.

The rest are on monthly basis. Sometime people drop out with little
warning. Had my first member sign up drop out as his employer is
having some 'issues' with 'money'.

We offer discount for people prepaying 3 and 6 months. About 20% of
our members use that approach.

[Coworking] Re: CoWorking Architecture

[Jerome Chang]

Hi.

As one of the few architect/designers in this coworking sphere, I'll  
chime in.  I've had very very few architects or other building- 
industry designers here in my 16 months of operation.  So,  
collaboration is zilch.  Basically, this group of freelancers or micro- 
size firms just won't pay for space.

As for what works, are you asking about size of spaces, desks, and the  
physical construct?

[Coworking] CoWorking Architecture

[Ralf Lippold]

Hi everybody,

even though we all pretty much know when a place is holding the energy
that fuels creativity and innovation, is there any literature, links
of like-minded architects, experiences (stories of what works and what
doesn't)?

http://www.urbansplash.co.uk/ could be a start as they are doing great
work (not on CoWorking specifically but great).

Who can help on that? Then we can share and bring new business to
innovative architects.

Best regards

Ralf

If they pay the $150, they are welcome here for the month.  They can 
chose to come the next month or not.

[Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[Alex Hillman]

Our membership billing cycles are mid-month, giving people 15 days to pay
(due at the end of each month) when our bills are also due.

Also, I think there's a fundamental and important distinction between
"lease" and "membership".

Take a look at the great membership agreement by Beehive Baltimore:
http://coworking-baltimore.googlegroups.com/web/Beehive+Member+Agreement+-+2009012101.pdf

The structure and content are designed to impart a sense of responsibility
to the community, rather than to a desk, which we've seen people identify
much more closely with.

We've also offered incentives for signing up for longer periods of time,
especially with our lower cost membership levels. Not having to invoice a
basic member $25 every month lowers administrative overhead, and puts cash
in the bank.

-Alex

[Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[Tara Hunt]

At Citizen Space, we go month to month, but have recently added some
incentives to signing up for a 3 month period ($25/month off rent).

[Coworking] Re: Twitter is Down

[Raines Cohen]

OK, fess up: who broke Twitter?
I kinda thought it was my fault for trying to follow *...@deepak_chopra* this
morning, creating some kind of infinite loop with recursive follow requests
from the dawn of time to the future.
Time to break out the semaphore flags. How's your Morse Code?
Wait, how did we communicate before? there was this thing you talk into...
starts with a P...

Oh yeah, there's always good old IM: Age/Sex Check, anyone? Anyone? He-llo?

*Raines, your neighborhood **Coworking Coach*
Inspired by Whuffaoke  connections that drew me
there last month, seeing if I can help Pittsburgh (PA)
coworking-interested folks collaborate when back in town next week for
Netroots Nation . Also in the DC area this
Monday-Tuesday, available for consultation, scheming, coaching, and general
mischief-making. And looking forward to visiting and doing a talk at Workantile
Exchange  (L:Ann Arbor, MI) as part of a
midwest tour that will take me around parts of MI,WI,OH,MO, and
IL, looking for other coworking-related opportunities in the latter
half of August.

Do you guys start your thirty days on the first of the month, or every 30
days?
I'm working on writing up my leasing agreements right now, so this is a
great conversation! :)

[Coworking] Re: Standard lease length

[Tara Hunt]

We used to have something as flexible as Business Playce, but we found
out the 'let us know as soon as possible' bit led to people telling us
on the first of the month they wanted to leave (like that day), so we
have the 30 day membership agreement with 30 days notice now.

Andy,

We have a 30 day membership agreement.  One of the benefits of
coworking at Business Playce is flexibility.  We tell our new members,
try us out for free for a few days, then join for 30 days if you like
it greatif not why be tied into something that wasn't/isn't for
you.

I assume for cash flow projections it would be nice to have a long
term lease/agreement, but for us and our culture that seems to
"Corporate".  In fact our agreement simply says "When you decide you
don't want to be here anymore, let us know as soon as possible; No
Harm, No Foul."

[Coworking] Re: Hello from Frederick, MD

[pa...@arbotek.com]

Glen,

My business partner and I started Business Playce in Fredericksburg,
VA last November.  We've done 1 expansion in May and have filled our
space with full time residents, but still have room for 3 more part
timers.  My business partner lives in Frederick, MD and after we
finish working all the kinks out of our Virgina location we plan on
laying the ground work for a site in Frederick.  When you move to
Frederick give us a call, or visit our VA location we have a small
community already interested and would love to find like minded people
to help us defray the cost/responsibilities, etc.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking business planning

[Rhyeal]

With a business plan, I used the SCORE website.

http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html - Plenty of templates here
to chose from.

[Coworking] Standard lease length

[Andy McMillan]

I'm wondering - from others running coworking spaces - how are your
leases set up in terms of time, clauses etc? Are you offering
discounts for longer leases? Any information would be fantastic -
thanks!

[Coworking] Hey all

[Rhyeal]

Just joined up after lurking for a week or so. I'm glad to be here and
very interested in the coworking idea.

I'm a finance student that will be graduating this year, so I find the
coworking concept interesting from a financial point of view. I've
been trying to crunch the numbers and I can't figure out how some of
these places are cash flow positive; any help in that department would
be gladly received.

On a lighter note, I am located in (frigid) Minnesota and will be
getting involved in the local coworking scene soon. Community is a big
part of what I like about college, and I hope to continue with this
once I graduate.

Here's to hoping that all your spaces are profitable!

[Coworking] Re: A short Hello from Munich, Germany

[Jasper Morgan]

Hi Nils,

I've just started coworking in Berlin but spend most of my time in Munich at
the moment.  If you want to get some input or throw some ideas around for
coworking here in Munich then I let you know about my experience in Berlin
(for what it's worth).

cheers

Jasper

[Coworking] Re: Coworking business planning

[Patrick Tanguay]

Thanks for that post Alex, we're at that stage ourselves now. We have
an intern for a couple of months this summer who's taking some of the
admin too and I don't think we'll be able to go back to doing
everything so your experience is good to have as reference for our own
decisions.

[Coworking] Re: Any coworking spaces in Farnham, Surrey or surrounding area?

[Lloyd Davis]

Hi there, I'm not aware of anything happening in Surrey but if you're able
to pop into London for Tuttle on a Friday morning, it may be that you might
find some potential collaborators in setting your own space up.  We're at
the ICA every Friday morning from 10am - http://tuttleclub.wordpress.com/
