I’m doing some academic work around coworking, and I’m really interested in how a coworking space founder sets up the initial business plan. What do the documents look like? What kind of startup budget , what kind of spreadsheets… what kind of information would you share with a bank or a potential landlord?
Also, what does an operational budget look like?
I realize that this information might be right in front of me, but I’m missing it!
Would anyone be willing to share the documents they used in the implementation and operation of a space?
I’ve been in contact with Anne Kirby and her amazing space in Lancaster PA called “The Candy Factory”… amazing.
Thanks Ramon,
very timely discovery for me. I’ve hit the wall a bit this week and now wondering if my expectation and reality were even closely aligned. So I have to go over all the baselines again.

We used standard business plan and cashflow model documents as the starting point and customized from there as we learn’t more. After all the business side of a coworking space is just that, business. You have overheads and outgoings. You have revenue. You have to make the latter larger than the former or you’re hooped in the long run and your vision won’t see the light of day.

I just checked with an incognito window and it worked fine. Anybody with the link can view it. To edit the form you have to either copy it to your own Google Drive or download it.
