FAQs

How long can I use a co-working space?

Normally you can use one of our spaces for a maximum of two years. We've found that successful businesses generally want to have greater privacy, more space, or greater flexibility by then.

Can I stay longer if I need/ want to?

Space is limited in our co-working environments so priority has to be given to the most appropriate fit of companies. There are a variety of criteria we use to explore selection so please speak to a member of the Brookes Enterprise Support team to discuss your needs before making any decisions. We will always do what we can to support you and your business.

What sort of things will I need to do when I leave my residency at a Brookes co-working space?

We ask our departing-residents to give a short presentation on the development of their business over the course of one year. It should reflect the sort of award (if any) they received from us and help us to tell the story to the next generation of entrepreneurs in the space.

Can I come back and visit?

Yes, please! We always welcome our old residents and founders.
