Contracts
Nexudus Spaces is notoriously member-centric. Most of the processes you can put through it start and end with a member; a person. This includes bookings, memberships, legal agreements and any purchases, from a locker to a ticket to go to an event. With the time, we have introduced features that let you leap away from the individual and form groups, which we call teams, and charge members in your space for services which may not just be used by themselves, as an individual.

Can companies implement the coworking model?
In recent years, **the coworking movement has broadened**; there are more and more spaces, which reach an increasingly wider community and have attracted investments of around $1bn in the last year. This has undoubtedly helped the concept be progressively more "in trend" and the number of medium-sized and large companies interested in the ins and outs of the model is on the rise.
