FAQ
Is the setup fee recurring? No — it's a one-time charge on your first invoice, separate from recurring membership dues.
Why do fees vary by membership? Private Office and Exclusive Desk memberships require more preparation — workspace setup and access configuration — than more flexible plans.
Can it be waived? Generally no. If a promotion includes a waived or discounted setup fee, it will be stated at the time of purchase or in your membership agreement.
When is it charged? On your first invoice, due when your membership begins.
