What are the economics of a makerspace? are they business, no profit or clubs?

  Usually you pay membership fees in exchange for access to the tools and stuff.

  Clubs mostly, generally the vast majority of Makerspaces' income is solely the membership dues. There are a handful that are run more like businesses. Techshop is one and there's non profits like The Geek Group up in Michigan which has full time employees and a goal of each department/lab paying for it's own existence. Probably more but those are the ones I know of.
