Finding the right community and coworking space is important for many people, and likewise, having the right people join your space is key for a thriving community. That’s why, if someone visits your space and falls in love with the community, it’s a perfect opportunity to show your interest in them with a proposal - “will you marry/join our space?”
Yes or No? You can impress visitors with your shared workspace and community, but converting their interest into a membership can be tough. However, sending a proposal shows your commitment and interest in them joining your community, and reminds them what they love about your space. This gives them a chance to review the proposal and decide if they want to accept and commit to a contract with your coworking space.
Nexudus has been designed to help you grow your community, by automating many of your daily processes necessary for a thriving coworking space. We believe that ‘Proposals’ is an important feature which should be a simple and smooth process, in order to gain more memberships.
What is a Proposal?
A proposal represents a potential sale of a contract. It has basic information about a potential contract for one of your price plans, including dedicated desks or offices. Optionally, one or more products can also be added, which will be added to the customer account if the proposal is accepted.
Only after the potential customer accepts the proposal and provides any required e-signatures, an actual contract and the desired products will be added to their account.
A proposal is always attached to a member or contact record but can be reviewed on your members’ portal even if the member or contact has no user account yet.
CRM Boards
The status of proposals can be linked to CRM boards so that you can keep on top of the onboarding process. Automating this makes it a smoother and clearer process.
Products
Products are not a requirement for proposals, but they can help you to build proposals that include additional services/products, such as parking space, printing credits or a locker, along with an office or dedicated desk plan. This is a good opportunity to remind customers about your products so that they can’t resist your offer!
It’s time to propose...
When you have sent the proposal, the customer will receive a notification by email with a link to review and accept the proposal. Good luck!
The contact will also be automatically moved to ‘Proposal Sent’ in the CRM board.
Are they ready to commit to you?
If the customer accepts the proposal - congratulations, you’ve found your match! All items in the proposal will be added to the customer account, and now one of your onboarding heroes can help them get started.
After accepting the proposal, the customer will be able to choose additional products if that option is enabled in your account.
Multi-contract proposals
Generally, proposals will be converted into a single contract if they’re accepted, but occasionally you may need to create proposals with multi-contracts. For example, a customer might agree to a certain price for renting out a private office for the first year (the honeymoon period), with a step-up in price from the second year onwards.
Multi-contract proposals allow you to create a single proposal with all these changes. When the proposal is accepted, multiple contracts will be created and scheduled to start and end based on the start and cancellation dates for each of the contracts included in the proposals.

Sustainability is becoming more and more important for coworking spaces. If you're thinking of making your space more sustainable, it's good to remember that there are lots of ways to go about it. From small details to bigger changes, everything adds up when it comes to reducing your environmental impact.
Meeting rooms are at the heart of collaboration in coworking spaces. Whether it's a brainstorming session, a client meeting, or a team catch-up, having a simple and efficient way to book and manage meeting rooms makes all the difference. But let’s be honest—there’s always room to improve the experience for your members.
The popularity of remote and hybrid working has prompted many organisations to rethink the way they utilise office space. Many have swapped their large, static HQs for more flexible satellite solutions that can accommodate a disparate workforce.
Some people like working against a background of noise, while for others it’s their worst work nightmare. The truth is, our relationship with noise depends on our own preferences and the nature of our work.
Now that 2025 has arrived, the European Union's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative is becoming a key topic for coworking spaces operating in the EU. But don’t panic—ViDA will be introduced gradually, with key changes taking effect from 2028. This major VAT reform aims to modernize tax reporting, combat fraud, and streamline compliance through mandatory e-invoicing and real-time digital VAT reporting for certain transactions.
After more than twelve years in the coworking industry, we’ve seen the movement evolve at an incredible pace, especially in recent years. Spaces have grown larger, making it harder for operators to truly connect with their communities. At the same time, expectations for higher service standards and increasing competition mean that creating tailored experiences and fostering long-term member engagement is more important than ever.
There has always been a need for workplace management – the process of organising and optimising physical spaces, resources, and operations to support people’s needs. But, as 28% of UK working adults were reported to work in a hybrid capacity last autumn (by the Office for National Statistics), the question of ‘why workplace management matters’ is more critical than ever. Let’s look at the workplace management benefits for your operations.
From automating daily processes to supporting your team in building a thriving community and boosting revenue for your business – coworking technology couldn’t be more impactful for flexible workspace operations. But with so many tools available, selecting the right tech stack for your coworking business can be overwhelming.
Vibrant, contemporary workspaces create an undeniable ‘wow’ factor. Textured designs and ambient lighting make spaces feel warm and cosy, while natural elements and biophilic design features have literal mood-boosting properties.
