Most coworking financial templates track one blended "active customers times monthly fee" line and stop there – none of them check whether the membership count they're projecting would physically fit in the space.
This model builds 3 separate membership tiers – Hot Desk, Dedicated Desk, and Private Office – as real month-to-month rollforwards (beginning members plus new signups minus churned equals ending members), each with its own price, churn rate, and square-footage footprint, then sums the result against the facility's actual leased square footage using the widely cited 100-150 sq ft per person all-in coworking density benchmark.
Occupancy ramps from opening toward stabilization on a seasonality-adjusted new-sign-up curve – stronger January and September back-to-work sign-up spikes, a slower December – the same lease-up mechanic used in real estate development modeling, adapted so seasonality adjusts the rate of new sign-ups rather than double-counting growth on the member-count stock. Because this business subleases or master-leases its space rather than owning real estate, the capital structure is leasehold-improvement CapEx financed by an SBA 7(a) loan plus an owner equity injection, not a ground-up construction loan.
Ancillary Revenue captures meeting room rental, virtual mailbox, event space, and printing/coffee, each with its own unit economics. The DSCR & Lender Ratios tab checks the exact ratio an SBA lender checks against the 1.25x minimum, and a 23-ratio Full Ratio Suite plus a DuPont ROE Decomposition go beyond DSCR alone.
Set facility size, tier pricing and churn, and lease terms on the Assumptions tab, and it flows through the three tier rollforwards, the Membership Tiers & Capacity Plan's live capacity check, Ancillary Revenue, and a full 3-statement model balance-checked every month, into DSCR & Lender Ratios, the Full Ratio Suite, a DuPont ROE Decomposition, and a Business Valuation & Exit tab with both a DCF and an EV/EBITDA cross-check plus owner IRR/MOIC.
