In this article we intend to introduce the reader to a real estate tokenization use case, that of Shared Space Business Tokenization, which you will be able to find on our Investment Platform once you register, and thus learn about the details of the tokenized opportunity.

What we mean by Shared Space Businesses

A Shared Space business refers to a model in which different companies, professionals or simply individuals share the same space for a specific purpose.
The Shared Space business generates most of its revenues from the rental of both common areas and individual spaces.

Some common types of Shared Space businesses are:

• General or thematic coworking: These spaces are open to professionals and provide a collaborative work environment and a network of professional contacts.
  They may offer additional services, such as networking events or shared administrative services.

• Incubators and accelerators: These spaces offer a shared work environment combined with support services and additional resources for startups and entrepreneurs.
  In addition to physical space, they can provide mentoring, business advice, access to financing or training programs.

• Art and creative spaces: These places focus on providing a working environment for artists, designers, photographers and other creative professionals.
  They usually include studios, workshops and exhibition areas.

• Shared makerspaces: Also known as makerspaces, these are places where people share tools, machinery and equipment to carry out manufacturing, prototyping or crafting projects.
  These spaces often feature technology such as 3D printers, laser cutters or industrial sewing machines.

• Learning and education spaces: These spaces provide an environment for teaching and learning.
  They may include classrooms, laboratories or workshop spaces where courses, lectures or training programs are held.

• Wellness and health spaces: These venues focus on the wellness and health industry.
  They may include yoga studios, therapy rooms, shared medical offices or wellness centers offering services such as massage, acupuncture or alternative therapies.

• Storage spaces: service in which several people, companies or individuals share the same physical space to store their belongings, inventory or other items.
  For example, storage rooms in open-plan warehouses divided into smaller units.

These are just a few examples of Shared Space Businesses, but the possibilities are broad and can be adapted to different needs and sectors.
Each type of shared space business may have specific characteristics and services, so it is important to research and evaluate the market and the needs of the local community before embarking on a shared space business.

Benefits of Shared Space Business Tokenization

The main difficulties or entry barriers to starting a Shared Space Business, apart from complying with rules and regulations or the efficient management of the space itself, are the initial capital and the creation of a community.

• Start-up capital: The establishment of a Shared Space Business requires a significant investment to acquire or lease space, make the necessary adjustments, acquire furniture and equipment, implement technological infrastructure and promote the business.
  The availability of start-up capital can be an obstacle for entrepreneurs wishing to enter this type of industry.

• Community and networking: One of the fundamental aspects of shared spaces is the creation of a community and a collaborative environment.
  Building a strong community and fostering networking among users can take time and effort.
  This involves organizing events, promoting interaction among members, and providing additional services that foster collaboration and professional growth.

These entry barriers can be perfectly overcome if the Shared Space Business entrepreneur benefits from the power of decentralization granted by tokenization.
Instead of creating the business centrally, on his own initiative, he can rely on a Community that is both user and investor of the Shared Space Business.

• Access to financing: Tokenization allows for the fractionation of the economic and/or utility rights generated by the Shared Space Business.
  Tokens can be issued and offered to the Community to finance the project, either through an STO or an ICO, depending on the tokenomic model chosen.
  By doing so, a broad base of potential investors can be accessed and capital can be raised more quickly and efficiently compared to traditional funding methods.
  Tokenization removes geographic barriers and reduces dependence on intermediaries, which facilitates financial inclusion and fosters innovation.

• Liquidity and marketability: Shared Space Business tokens can be easily exchanged on a specialized platform, fostering a secondary market.
  This provides liquidity to investors and token holders, as they have the ability to buy and sell their tokens at any time.

• Community building and participation: Tokenization also facilitates community building around the Shared Space Business.
  Token holders become stakeholders in the success of the project and have the opportunity to participate in decision making through voting or decentralized governance.
  By offering incentives through share reward programs, membership programs by token portfolio level or profit sharing, companies can encourage greater user and customer participation and loyalty.

• Transparency and traceability: The blockchain technology underlying tokenization offers greater transparency and traceability compared to traditional systems.
  Every transaction made with tokens is immutably recorded on the blockchain and accessible to all participants.
  This creates a high level of trust in the community, as transactions can be audited and verified more effectively.

In summary, tokenization presents significant benefits in solving the problems of seed capital needs and community building.
By enabling access to funding, increasing liquidity, encouraging participation and providing transparency, tokenization is a powerful tool for driving innovation and democratizing access to Shared Space Businesses.

How we tokenize Shared Space Businesses

To tokenize Shared Space Businesses, it is important to analyze all aspects of the tokenized business model. From the value proposition and usefulness to the community of investors and users, to the revenue, expense and profit model. Based on the result, the tokenomic model that best represents the interests of the entire ecosystem of the Shared Space Business is designed.

Simplifying the token typology, a basic classification is that of “utility” token and “security” token.

• Security token: is a fungible and tradable financial instrument that has some kind of monetary value.
  These tokens are usually divided into the categories of shares, funds and debt.

• Utility token: used as a unit of value within a specific ecosystem or platform.
  These tokens are generally created to access services or products and their main function is to enable the use of the ecosystem.
  For example, accessing additional features or participating in rewards programs.

The momentum of the Shared Space Business will dictate the token model to be issued, you can even start with a single token model and evolve to multiple token models depending on the growth of the Shared Space Business.
You can even use a security token with utility based on the average investment ticket.

Generally a utility token is more complex to design, being crucial to include a deflationary model and a real utility for the Community.
Even with solid tokenomics, it is not advisable to issue a utility token until the Shared Space Business has an active user Community, which absorbs minimum sales and usage targets in its initial stage.

At Tokeniza Real Estate, we provide a tokenization service for Shared Space Businesses to niche Communities that want to lead the project in their region and activity. For a simple and sustainable launch of the project, we use the Tokenized Participative Loan model with profit based on the average investment.

In each legal subscription agreement to the Tokenized Participating Loan Offering, the Shared Space Business project is described in detail, stating the actions we will carry out with the funds raised, all the legal clauses required by our legislation, the characteristics of the token and the financial projection.

It is important to note that in this type of tokenized real estate project if periodic returns are distributed, unlike the use case of tokenization of Non Performing Portfolio Loans (NPL).
