These are estimates. Actual numbers depend on the location, the economy, the business environment, geopolitical events and other things nobody controls.

Why the numbers hold

A desk here is never assigned. The night-shift member, the nine-to-six member and the weekend member share one chair — and never meet.

A staffed nine-to-six office cannot do this, which is why the usual coworking figure is closer to one member per desk. Ours depends on the hours being real: the door has to work at 4am with nobody there to open it.

The hard parts of unmanned coworking are the door, the app and the members already inside it. Those exist. You are not building them.

Plants, desks and a Second Space sign on the open floor

The brand

You open as Second Space — not as a name nobody in your city has heard of.

02

The member app

Members find your branch, sign up, book and pay in an app that already exists.

03

Face ID doors

Members walk in on their face, at any hour. No keys, no cards, nobody at the door.

04

AI camera security

Cameras watch the floor around the clock, so nobody has to sit there doing it.

05

Online payments

Built in, from day one. Money arrives without anyone handling it.

LINE Pay

Apple Pay

Google Pay

06

E-invoice automation

Every payment issues its e-invoice on its own. Nobody keys one in.

07

Accounting software

Revenue, fees and invoices land in the books as they happen, so month-end is not a project.

Mostly it depends on how much work the space needs. The rest is already built.

01

Tell us where

The district you are looking at, and roughly how big a space.

02

We look at the site with you

Before you sign a lease, not after. The wrong building is the expensive mistake.

03

We run the numbers together

The calculator above — with your real rent and your real contractor quote.

04

You build it

Our layout and supplier list, your contractor and budget. You own the fit-out.

05

We switch it on

Brand, app, access and the door. From then on you run a branch and we take 5%.

Before you ask

The awkward questions.

The awkward questions.

The awkward questions.

The ones a careful investor asks second. We would rather answer them here than have you wonder.

What if I never fill the space?

Break-even in a 50-ping venue is about 40 members — roughly a quarter of what it holds. Below that the branch loses money, and the calculator shows exactly where that line falls for your rent and your build.

Do I need staff?

Nobody has to be on site; members let themselves in at any hour. You will still want someone to clean and restock, which is what the internet, cleaning and supplies line in the calculator is for.

Who holds the lease?

You do. The venue is yours and the fit-out is yours.

Can I sell the branch later?

Yes.

How long from signing to opening?

Three to six months, depending mostly on how much work the space needs.

What do I actually pay Second Space?

5% of revenue, monthly. Nothing up front, no licence fee and no minimum.
