As a commercial real estate broker, your success depends on finding the right office solutions for your clients—whether they are startups, growing businesses, or large corporate clients. With the rise of coworking spaces offering flexible office solutions, partnering with these spaces through broker referral programs can be an excellent way to expand your offerings and generate additional revenue. But rather than searching for these opportunities on your own, we connect you directly to coworking operator partners across the USA, Canada, and select international markets.
With our platform, you gain immediate access to local coworking spaces in your city and can start referring your clients right away—without the hassle of sourcing coworking spaces individually. Let’s explore how broker referral programs work, what types of clients are ideal for coworking spaces, and how partnering with us can help grow your business.
How Broker Referral Programs Work for Coworking Spaces
A coworking broker referral program is a partnership between brokers and coworking space operators, where brokers are compensated for referring clients to coworking spaces. When your referral leads to a signed lease or membership, you receive a commission based on the value of the agreement.
Typical Commission Structures
Coworking referral programs offer brokers commissions that are competitive with traditional office leases. Here’s what you can expect:
- 5-10% of the first year’s rent or membership fees for private office or long-term memberships.
- Flat referral fees for shorter-term memberships or smaller spaces, like dedicated desks or team suites.
- Bonus incentives for repeat referrals or larger deals, such as corporate memberships.
Why Brokers Should Recommend Coworking Spaces
Coworking spaces offer your clients a modern, flexible alternative to traditional office leases, and many clients find the benefits unmatched. Here’s why these spaces are a valuable option for your portfolio:
1. Flexibility for Growing Clients
- Many of your clients—particularly startups, small businesses, or corporate satellite offices—require short-term or scalable lease options. Coworking spaces provide flexible terms that can adapt as their business evolves, whether they need to scale up or down.
2. Comprehensive Amenities
- Coworking spaces offer all-inclusive amenities like high-speed internet, furnished offices, conference rooms, and communal areas, meaning your clients won’t have to worry about setup costs or managing a space. This is a huge benefit for clients who want turnkey solutions that allow them to focus on running their businesses.
3. Prime Locations
- Coworking operators typically select prime locations within major cities—whether it’s downtown Chicago, Toronto’s financial district, or New York City—making them ideal for businesses that value prestige, accessibility, and proximity to their clients or employees.

Who Benefits from Coworking Spaces?
Many of your clients can benefit from coworking spaces, especially those looking for flexible, modern office solutions. Here are the types of clients who thrive in coworking environments:
Startups and Entrepreneurs
- Startups typically need flexible terms as they grow or pivot. Coworking spaces offer short-term leases, allowing these clients to upgrade their office as they scale.
Corporate Satellite Offices
- Many larger companies now look to coworking spaces for regional hubs or project-based offices. These spaces provide a cost-effective, well-managed solution for companies looking to expand into new markets without investing in traditional leases.
Remote and Hybrid Teams
- With the rise of remote work, businesses are opting for coworking spaces to accommodate hybrid work models. They offer a professional environment where employees can collaborate without the commitment of a permanent office.
Freelancers and Consultants
- For freelancers and consultants, coworking spaces provide a professional office where they can meet clients, work on projects, and network with other professionals. The collaborative environment also fosters business growth and new opportunities.
