We're turning empty hours
into opportunity
CoShareSpace is Australia's leading marketplace for shared commercial spaces — connecting space owners with entrepreneurs ready to build great businesses.
Making commercial space work for everyone
Every café that closes at 3pm. Every salon dark on Sundays. Every commercial kitchen unused from midnight to 6am. These are missed opportunities — for the owners, and for the entrepreneurs who need exactly that kind of space.
We founded CoShareSpace in 2024 to bridge this gap, creating a transparent, trusted marketplace where commercial space is shared efficiently and profitably.
What we stand for
Unlocking Idle Space
Millions of dollars of commercial space sits empty every day. We built CoShareSpace to change that — connecting space owners with entrepreneurs who need a home.
Built for Community
We believe great businesses should have access to great spaces, regardless of budget. Our platform levels the playing field for small business owners.
Trust & Transparency
Every listing is verified by our team before going live. We vet both space owners and renters to ensure every match is a good one.
Supporting Local Business
From cafés in Melbourne to kitchens in Perth, we're proudly Australian and dedicated to helping local businesses grow.
