What exactly is coworking?

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

One of the biggest benefits of a coworking space is that it features intentional design elements and spatial diversity that help professionals find the focus they need to boost their productivity.

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?

FlowTheory offers Day Passes for just $30 per person in our coworking space 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 upload 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?

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.

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

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?
