[Coworking] Re: Opening a coworking space where the landlord is a web design agency

Thanks for your comments.

The web design agency would be supportive of the coworking community and 
I'm sure we would be friends. But the two companies would be operating 
independently. The offices are adjacent with common kitchen and entrance 
areas but they are separate so the agency would not be part of the 
coworking community, other than as landlord and friends.

[Coworking] Opening a coworking space where the landlord is a web design agency

2016-09-19 Thread Clive Walker
I'm considering opening a coworking space where the landlord is a web 
design agency who work in an adjacent office. The offices are separate but 
the communal areas, kitchen, entrance, meeting room will be shared. 

Initially, I thought this would be great because of friendly landlord and 
potential for 'synergy'. However, a couple of people have raised concerns 
about this, particularly if clients were to move from agency to coworking 
freelancer or vice versa, and have said that the agency might be looking 
for 'cheap labour'. I'm not sure they are but it's a concern some people 
have.

Does anyone have any experience of this type of arrangement? If yes, how is 
it working?

Many thanks for any suggestions, comments, advice.
