Answered by BriiEazy C

Does a virtual business address help with business funding?

According to BriiEazy C, having a legitimate virtual business address registered with the Secretary of State is critical. She states that businesses without a proper address are often counted out of funding opportunities, making this a top feature for her clients.

Answered by BriiEazy C

How does The CO-OP compare to working in a coffee shop?

BriiEazy C explains that coffee shops lack the privacy and scheduling reliability of The CO-OP. The coworking space allows her to 'get on the books' for conference rooms, providing a more personal and professional environment for client meetings.

Answered by BriiEazy C

How does The CO-OP compare to traditional event spaces like gymnasiums?

Tim Dingus noted that unlike gymnasiums where sound rattles and is too loud, The CO-OP offers a carpeted space where sound doesn't bounce. The carpet also provides a necessary cushion for performers who are standing for long periods.

Answered by Timothy Dingus

Is the event space at The CO-OP affordable for local clubs?

Yes, Tim Dingus reported looking at other spaces with prices up to $5,000 for the same use case. The Kansas City Juggling Club spent less than that at The CO-OP while receiving more utility and a nicer location.
