After about 1000 people coming in to ask what it is we’re doing here, I decided it was time to explain it in a simple way and posted it on the door. Hope it helps some

“What are you guys doing here?”

Good question.

We have an internet business and we share our office for others to work from here. For $149 per month, you can work here 3 days per week on your own projects (bring a laptop), drink free coffee, and enjoy good company.

That’s a lot cheaper and cooler than renting an executive office and we think it is more productive than working from home.

Nice to meet you, come on in and make yourself comfortable or grab a flyer to hand out to someone you know and we will love you forever.

Biz Buzz: News from Fullerton’s businesses

City finds new way to help small businesses

Branding Personality opens

For nearly two years, Marieke Hensel tried to establish a networking business in her native Holland, but could not get the support of City Hall. So, when she and her husband, Rutger, moved to Orange County, they decided to try and launch their concept for an American audience.

The couple found what they believe is the right location on east Amerige Avenue, one-half block from Harbor Boulevard in the former Saltwater Designs site.

“This is for people who work at home to have some interaction,” Hensel said. “They can come here, network, fax, print, use the Internet and chat over a cup of Starbucks.”

Rutger, a programmer, is also available to help with any problem-solving. The shop is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

Last month we had 20 people present. Hope to see you there!

It was a great day here, thank you to all 20 who attended!!
Some people were professional business people, having appointments with people within their network. Other people came by to get computer work done. Programmers were coding, designers were working in Adobe Illustrator. And lots of projects were tracked in Basecamp.

Great to hear the suggestions that everyone had to improve eachothers business. People were giving others advise on tax issues and legal letters that need to be sent. And people were invited to attend other local networking events.

It was so nice to meet all of you and we enjoyed your presence! A special thank you to the 5 attendees who signed membership contracts for a flexible workspace!! Everybody got (some!) work done and we all had a good time together!

Meet other locals from all industries to discuss your Business Ideas and Strategies. Gather to discuss current events, share experiences, and to network with other people interested in Business.

I would like to share the first pics from our brand new coworking space in downtown Fullerton.
We are still waiting for some bar stools to come in and let”’’s not forget the Starbucks coffee machine.

But we are already working here, and usually have about 3 people at our place working, co-working and getting projects done.

There is place for about 25 people, so come on in and be. connect. inspire.!

We are opening Monday October 6th, and a lot of work still needs to get done.
We have demolished a wall, the carpet is out and there is lettering on the windows.

Now we have to get things in there. The walls need to be painted, the floors need to be cleaned so they can get stained and then the furniture needs to get in and set in place.

Also three large windows are gonna be replaced, because there is graffiti on it.

I am excited to see all the changes and all the people working hard to make it happen.

Since monday there have been so many BNI members here, most helped out with one of their services that I need, some just stopping by to take a look on how its gonna be. Its a trusted network and I am really glad that I am part of it.
