With an abundance of newly available office real estate on the market (thanks, COVID), the value of coworking/office space franchises may increase significantly throughout 2021. For now, there are only a few options in the space available, with Regus holding onto the lead spot by a significant margin.

Office and coworking franchises are likely to align best with prospective franchisees who have built careers in commercial real estate, sales or marketing. Additionally, the flexibility offered for the end-user (the office leaser) provides a clear value for consumers, making local marketing a relatively easy undertaking.
