Buy a Regus Franchise

Regus is a flexible workspace provider offering serviced offices, coworking memberships, virtual offices and meeting rooms. Founded in 1989, it helped establish the serviced-office model and now operates across more than 1,000 cities worldwide. Its clients range from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to large multinationals, giving each location a broad mix of short and longer-term occupiers.

The brand is the longest-standing of International Workplace Group (IWG plc), a publicly listed company that runs a portfolio of flexible-workspace brands including Spaces, HQ and Signature. IWG positions itself as the global market leader in the sector, several times the size of its nearest competitor, and franchises Regus to individual, multi-unit and regional partners.

A Regus franchise is a location-based, business-to-business operation built on recurring revenue. Centres earn from monthly office and coworking memberships, virtual-office plans, meeting-room hire and add-on services, supported by IWG’s global sales platform and demand-generation network. IWG began franchising Regus in the US in 2019, seeking partners able to develop multiple centres within a defined territory.

Why buy a Regus Franchise?

Buyers looking to buy a Regus franchise gain one of the most recognised names in flexible workspace, backed by IWG’s global brand, booking platform and corporate client relationships. For an operator, demand can be channelled to a centre through an established sales engine rather than built name-by-name from scratch, and an existing location arrives with occupiers already in place.

The model is built around recurring monthly memberships, which can produce predictable income once a centre reaches healthy occupancy, alongside virtual-office and meeting-room revenue and commission on referrals to other locations. Membership retention has historically been a strength of the format, and the diversity of occupiers spreads income across many small contracts rather than a few large leases.

Regus – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming Regus franchisees receive structured onboarding of around 80 hours of classroom training plus 80 hours of on-the-job training, followed by ongoing support. Operators run their centres on IWG's proprietary software and global sales and booking platform, with continuous demand generation feeding enquiries to locations. Ongoing support covers field operations, marketing resources (co-op advertising, social media and SEO), a franchisee intranet and regular business reviews. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access are provided to incoming owners and whether existing centre staff remain in place.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Regus suits a hands-on, sales-driven operator rather than a passive investor; absentee and part-time ownership are not permitted. The model rewards people comfortable with business-to-business selling, local networking and managing a sales and centre team to drive occupancy. IWG looks for partners with several years of sales-management experience and a background in community or B2B marketing, often with the appetite to develop multiple centres across a territory rather than a single location. Strong commercial judgement and a focus on customer retention matter more than prior office-space experience.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Regus was named Best Workspace Solutions Franchise at the Corporate Vision Magazine Franchise Awards in 2019, recognition of its standing in the competitive serviced-office franchising market. Its strongest credibility signal is its parent: IWG plc is a publicly listed company widely regarded as the global leader in flexible workspace, operating across more than 1,000 cities and serving clients from sole traders to multinationals such as Google, Amazon and IBM. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific centre's local reputation, reviews and occupancy track record.

  4. Industry / Market

    Regus operates in the US flexible-workspace and coworking market, valued at roughly $5.4 billion in 2026 by Mordor Intelligence and growing steadily as hybrid working becomes standard. The shift away from long, fixed leases toward flexible space is a structural tailwind: commercial real-estate firm JLL has projected flexible workspace could reach around 30% of US office inventory by 2030. Demand is driven by remote and hybrid employees, cost-conscious small businesses and large corporates decentralising into suburban and secondary locations, which makes a centre's local catchment and employer base central to resale value.
