What Spacepool does

Spacepool Limited is a UK-based online marketplace that connects office space providers ("Hosts") with businesses and individuals ("Guests") seeking flexible workspace, operating as a bootstrapped private limited company headquartered in London since 2018. The platform aggregates 3,130 listings spanning day passes, day offices, hot desks, fixed desks, meeting rooms and private offices across at least 19 UK cities, with London (Shoreditch, Mayfair, King's Cross, Paddington, etc.) representing the densest inventory.

The core technology is a self-serve web and mobile marketplace enabling Guests to search, filter by workspace type, team size and location, view spaces, sign contracts digitally and move in entirely online, while Hosts manage multi-location listings, automated billing and tenant onboarding through a dedicated management portal. Payments are processed via Stripe for meeting room and day pass bookings, and the platform integrates social login (Google, LinkedIn, Facebook) for low-friction account creation.

The revenue model is commission-based, charged to Hosts only: 10% of the first 12 months' rent (or minimum license term) on private office and coworking memberships, and 10-20% (plus Stripe fees) on meeting room and day pass bookings. Customer segments span SMBs (1-10 people), scale-ups (11-31+) and remote workers/freelancers, with no enterprise anchors disclosed. The company has no public funding history, no institutional investors, and no disclosed revenue or headcount metrics beyond an 11-50 employee range.

Emerging players

• Workfrom: Workspace discovery and booking platform focused on cafés, coworking, and meeting spaces. Comparable in helping users find and book day-use workspace, with overlapping SMB and freelancer target segments.
• OfficeRnD: Workspace management software platform for coworking and flex-space operators. Serves the same ecosystem on the supply side (B2B SaaS to Hosts) rather than competing directly for end-Guest demand.

Direct peers

• Croissant: On-demand workspace booking platform offering day passes and meeting rooms via a subscription credit model. Comparable self-serve platform targeting flexible workspace consumers, with overlapping inventory of coworking and meeting spaces.
• Hubble: UK-headquartered flexible office marketplace offering short-term office and coworking space. Directly comparable to Spacepool on product, target customer (UK SMBs), and commission-based brokerage model.
• Liquidspace: US-based online marketplace for meeting rooms, day offices, and coworking on demand. Comparable marketplace model connecting workspace Hosts with Guests, though currently focused on North America.
• WorkPad: UK flexible office provider with multi-location private office and coworking offerings; appears as a Host on Spacepool's marketplace. Comparable UK flex-space operator and distribution partner in the same ecosystem.
• Coworker.com: Global coworking space directory and marketplace connecting users with flexible workspace operators. Comparable in connecting workspace seekers to multiple Host brands via a search/booking platform, though with a heavier content/directory focus.
• Deskpass: Global on-demand workspace platform offering day passes, meeting rooms, and offices across multiple countries. Direct competitor in the online flex-space booking category with a similar self-serve marketplace model.

Broad incumbents

• WeWork: Large global coworking and flexible office operator with hundreds of locations. Competes indirectly with Spacepool by offering on-demand workspace through its own app and directly to enterprise clients.
• IWG (Regus, Spaces): Global leader in flexible workspace with thousands of locations under Regus, Spaces, and HQ brands. Acts as both a major Host on flex-space marketplaces and a direct competitor offering its own digital booking channels.
