I found Intelligent Office as a client initially, and I thought, if I’m going to own a business, this is what I want to do. We support hundreds of small businesses. We have close to 500 clients between my two locations, which is tremendously rewarding. If you are going to get into this business, now is the right time to do it. Everyone understands the need for co-working space. The fact that we offer so much more than space makes us a compelling opportunity.

Being a part of a franchise has really helped because it gives you the formulas to follow. At Discovery Day, they told us: get a good location, get a great business center manager, and follow the formula.

UFG and Venture X Corporate have been there every step of the way, with site selection, location build-out, and marketing and management. Venture X Operations & Logistics Teams at the corporate office helped guide the process to ensure everything is being addressed and in accordance with brand standards. Their help has saved countless hours and more importantly, countless dollars in the entire process to get the location up and running.

One of the greatest benefits of owning a Venture X is the interaction with other franchisees. Learning from people who’ve already tried something—what worked, what didn’t—that level of collaboration and mentorship is incredibly valuable.
