Wework disclosed in this S-1 that the vast majority of its members are small organizations or a handful of seats purchased by “enterprises.” In the event of an economic downturn I wouldn’t think WeWork could reasonably expect to collect on its membership fees no matter its contracts - their small clients will go out of business or otherwise just stop paying. WeWork is still on the hook for its contractual lease obligations, with lease terms averaging 15 years by its disclosures and between $2.3-$2.4bn of contractual obligations per year in upcoming years.
I don’t see this going well.
