I’m looking for mentorship from someone experienced in building and scaling businesses.

The concept is a 24/7 flexible workspace, starting with beauty. Our first London site is 600 sq ft with 7 workstations, bookable by the hour, day or monthly package.

The model is centred around utilisation. At 50%, the site represents 84 booked workstation-hours per day, or roughly £1,300 in potential daily workstation revenue at our standard £15.50 hourly rate.

We’ve built our own booking platform to track occupancy, repeat usage, revenue per workstation and revenue per sq ft. We also generate revenue through full-space hire.
We soft-launched with no paid advertising and generated £3,250 in our first week.

Beauty is the starting point. Longer term, I’m exploring whether the same technology and utilisation model works across other specialist commercial spaces.

I’m looking for a mentor who will challenge my assumptions, point out mistakes and help me think through scaling and unit economics.

If anyone here has relevant experience and would be open to mentoring me, or knows someone I should speak to, I’d love to connect.

I recently launched a 24/7 flexible beauty workspace in London, built around a simple idea, making commercial space more productive through utilisation.

The first site is around 600 sq ft with 7 bookable stations. Beauty professionals book a fully equipped workspace by the hour, day or through monthly packages, rather than taking on a permanent chair or salon lease.

At 50% utilisation, the space would generate 84 booked chair-hours per day. At a standard rate of £15.50 per hour, that represents around £1,300 in potential daily chair revenue.

We also have our own booking platform, which lets us track occupancy, revenue per workstation, repeat bookings and revenue per square foot. The goal is to use this data to improve the economics of the first site before expanding.

We soft-launched recently with no public launch or paid advertising and generated £3,250 in the first week.
I’m still early and would value mentorship from people who have experience with multi-site businesses, PropTech, commercial property, marketplaces or strong unit economics.

For those who have scaled something similar, what metrics would you focus on at this stage? And where have you found experienced mentors who genuinely helped you become a better operator?
