Learn more about SUCCESS Space, a coworking franchise model with three revenue streams; recurring and on-demand revenue from coworking memberships, a full-service cafe, and Success Certified business coaching.

1. The profits from your coworking space are usually highly correlated to the size of your coworking space…until your supply is too large for your market demand.
2. Smaller spaces can be more profitable with diversified revenue streams such as business identity packages, events, f&B offerings (uber eats originator)  and specialized/niche memberships
3. Smaller spaces don’t work for management agreements. If the LL is trying to beat market rent, but has to pay out a management fee in addition to paying the opex….the premium to market rent is not usually high enough to make it work.
4. If you are running a small space and you are getting to your take-home pay goal by being the community manager, make sure that it makes sense for you to be doing that job. 1) I hope you love it if you’re doing it. 2)  The community Manager role is generally a $20-$27/hour job. If you can make more per hour, you should consider doing something else. Example - all of the space owners that run other businesses.
5. It’s hard to create the diversity of workspaces that people want in a small space. The intentional design will matter a lot.
