What exactly is coworking?

Coworking is a global movement that provides collaborative and innovative office space solutions for people to grow their businesses. It is generally defined as flexible, membership-based workspaces, where diverse groups of freelancers, remote workers, and other independent professionals work together in a shared, communal setting.

Is a coworking space just a more exclusive coffee shop?

Unless your local coffee shop offers a meeting room, personal offices, a private day office, and an extensive list of business amenities, then the answer is categorically, no. Replace noisy patrons, shaky tables, and tiny chairs with comfortable seating selections, printing services, whiteboards, and environments designed to enhance productivity. And not to worry, you won’t experience a caffeine shortage in our coworking space.

Can I use a coworking space if I’m not a member?

This depends on the coworking provider, but most coworking spaces provide a daily option for guests. FlowTheory offers Day Passes for just $25 per person or a private Day Office for just $25/hour. Your Day Pass allows you full, all-day access to FlowTheory’s innovative work environments and business class WiFi.

I need a fast and reliable Internet Connection, what do you offer?

We have a secure Comcast Business fiber network. Our space is equipped with wireless as well as hardwired Internet connections and almost every private office has an access point. The average Internet download speed is 180 mbps and the uploading speed is on average 50 mbps. Our Internet is fast enough to accommodate any business.

Are there any additional expenses that aren’t included in the fees?

There are no hidden fees. Any additional expenses such as, extensive printing, mailing services, notary, or additional meeting room hours above your membership allotment may require additional fees and will be discussed when reviewing your membership plan options.

Do I have to sign a lease?

While we do not have traditional leases for our drop-ins and dedicated desk spaces, we do have a membership agreement for use of the space. For long-term private offices, we offer a 6-month or annual lease agreement.

Is there a minimum commitment?

For private offices we require a minimum 6-month commitment, while all other memberships are month-to-month.

Is a deposit required?

We do require the final month of the membership agreement to be paid up front for our Private Offices only.

Can I share an office with another business owner?

Yes, you can share an office but we don’t split office cost. One person is the paying member and is responsible for the full-term agreement for the office, regardless if the person you are sharing with leaves.

Do I need to have rental insurance?

Rental insurance is not a requirement but we do recommend it for members of Private Offices or Dedicated Desks.

What are the office hours at FlowTheory CoWorks?

FlowTheory CoWorks office hours are 8am-5pm Monday through Friday. Full-time members have 24/7 access.

Can I only work out of the space during “office hours”?

All of our full-time memberships have 24/7 access. Daily drop-ins and part-time flex plans are limited to business hours.

Do you have a conference room that is more than just the basics?

We have two conference rooms that are specifically designed to seat up to 20 people comfortably. We’ve wired them with state-of-the-art video and audio equipment so your teleconferencing experience can feel as close to in-person as possible.

Do you have printing services?

Yes we have a printer onsite at FlowTheory. It is an additional fee of $50 per month for unlimited printing & scanning, but we do not charge for the occasional printing.

Can I bring my kids to work with me?

At this time we are not able to accommodate children unless previously discussed with our team. In instances of an emergency, we may make exceptions for short durations in the workplace.

Can I bring my fur friend(s) to work with me?

While we absolutely love our fur family members, at this time we are not able to accommodate pets.

Can I bring a friend to work with me?

If you would like to bring a guest with you to work in our space, we offer a day pass for them on your member account or they may purchase a day pass through our website.

Are there any types of businesses that aren’t a good fit for coworking?

Businesses that aren't a good fit for FlowTheory would be retail, massage, chiropractic, etc. - the type of businesses that are appointment based and have frequent traffic in and out of the space. There are spaces that allow these types of businesses and, if you are looking for that, we can point you in the right direction.

What if I want to try coworking, but I’m not convinced it’s for me or I’m unsure if FlowTheory is the right fit for me?

Come in for a tour of our space and try it out for the day for FREE. Meet some of our members, enjoy some coffee and conversation, then decide if you'd like to join. Try one of our flexible plans for a month without commitment.
