Hi! I'm in the same dilemma—looking for cashflow templates. Here's a good example of a biz plan with cashflow forecasts. It's in Australian dollars, however. http://www.urbanworkspaces.com/wp/business-model/ You could contact the owner to see if he would make the template available to everyone

[Coworking] Is your coworking space going to make it?

2009-08-05 Thread ourspacefortwa...@gmail.com
In the conversations with many leaders in my region, I have been questioned about the failure rate of coworking sites. As I have witnessed Cube Space and others fold, I ponder will more coworking sites become victims of the economy and/or other problems? Or will you thrive? Thus, coworking

Jodi, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will write this, but I will speak only for myself when I say - I would not be an owner of Office Nomads or a member of the ON community if I didn't think it was going to survive and thrive even despite economic yo-yoing. I have the utmost confidence in

Every time a business opens, there is a risk of failure. Even coworking spaces. We go through ebbs and flows...always have...always will. I didn't go into this thinking I would get rich off coworking. Nice thing about a coworking space, though, is that the community will help when times are

Just uploaded my cash flow statement. It's a work in progress. One issue that I'm challenged with, that you'll see on my cash flow, is that I can't be at the space all of the time once it's up and running. I own an IT consulting company, which requires me to be at client locs 2-3 days a week.

I think you should hire someone to run the space or monitor it at least on an admin level. At some point, you'll get sick, injured, or on vacation, let alone your regular on-site client visits. For liability reasons, I wouldn't hand over supervision to a customer unless you're set up as

I'm working on that same question myself... I hired someone as an admin, who is motivated and dedicated enough to keep the place running and also help me with the consulting side of the business. I'm also working with a possible partner. The space has to be able to run without the owner there.

Glad to hear things are moving up, Mike. It's tough to wait and wait while people are making up their mind... I take cash, checks, credit cards and PayPal. Paypal allows me to process credit cards, so it's consolidated under a single provider. I don't like paying their gouge fee. Cheers,
