Regus has way too much bureaucracy and are also expensive (though WeWork is also expensive but it never made sense to me).
The reality might be that there are enough co-working spaces and you can paratroop into anyone and check before hand that it meets your expectation. There is nothing to franchise.

- jamiek88 3y agoThe use of the word paratroup to describe mundane business travel is fricken hilarious. What’s next? We gonna SWAT into Hartford for an insurance sales conference?

- alexanderchr 3y ago> Regus has way too much bureaucracy To say the least. I recently signed up for an office at a Regus location with the explicit purpose to incorporate a company there. All went well until a few weeks later when I went there to pick up post for the company and was told I was not allowed to do so until I had submitted a particular document. Only problem is that this document can only be sent to the registered company address by post. The woman in the reception literally had the document they needed in an envelope behind her desk but could not give it to me until I had submitted that same document. Zero understanding or willingness to escalate the issue to make an exception, just hiding behind "process". In the end I managed to get in touch with someone else in the organization who realized how ridiculous the situation was and convinced them to make an exception so I could hand in the document but I'm not impressed at all by the company, to say the least.
