Plans and pricing
What you pay, and what for
What’s the difference between a commercial lease and a coworking membership?
A commercial lease locks you in for several years, and services come on top of the rent: Internet, furniture, cleaning, taxes. A coworking membership is month to month, with everything in one price: the desk or office, high-speed Internet, furniture, kitchen, coffee and cleaning. You adjust the size as your team changes, without renegotiating a lease.
What plans do you offer?
Four ways to settle in, depending on your situation. On your own: a dedicated desk, or a corporate address if you don’t need a desk. Two to fifteen people: a private office. Fifteen and up: a corporate suite. Now and then: a room by the hour or the podcast studio. Details are on the plans page.
How much does it cost?
The dedicated desk starts at $199 per month (Discovery), then $299 (Essential) and $399 (Professional). The corporate address runs from $79 to $99 per month depending on the location. For private offices and corporate suites, the price depends on the size and the location: write to us and we’ll send you a detailed price list the same day.
What’s included in the membership?
High-speed Internet, furniture, a fully equipped kitchen and coffee, common areas, cleaning, access to the community and to events. Depending on the plan, you also get a corporate address, room credits every month and access to all eight locations.
Are there fees on top of the monthly membership?
Few. A one-time $85 file-opening fee applies for the access card. Parking is free at most locations and paid at a few downtown addresses. A dedicated Internet line or a specific technical need may carry a fee: we give you the full list before you sign.
Do you have solutions for a team that needs several desks or offices?
Yes. We reserve desks side by side, several neighbouring private offices, or a corporate suite in Brossard for teams of fifteen or more. Tell us how many you are and in which city: we’ll propose the configuration.
Can I change plans as my team grows?
Yes. Since plans are month to month, you move from a dedicated desk to a private office, or from one office to several neighbouring ones, depending on availability at the location. Talk to your leasing manager.
Access, hours and services
When you get in, and what you find
What are the access hours?
Reception is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. With an access card, members get in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the Essential plan up.
Can I work from several locations?
Yes. Access to all eight locations is included in several plans and can be added as an option on the others, for $100 per month on the dedicated desk. Your desk stays at your home location and you settle in elsewhere when your day takes you there.
Is there parking?
Yes, at every location, with bike racks. In Brossard, parking is underground and free. Longueuil is on the Longueuil metro, Old Montreal near Square-Victoria metro, Brossard close to the REM and Royalmount near De la Savane metro.
What is mail handling?
Your mail is received at the location’s reception, sorted and kept for you; you pick it up whenever you like. Depending on the plan, we can also forward it to the address of your choice, for $50 per month.
Can I use the location’s address as my business address?
Yes, that’s the corporate address: the location’s address becomes your company’s address at the Registraire des entreprises, on your contracts, your invoices and your Google listing. It’s included from the dedicated desk’s Essential plan up, or on its own from $79 per month.
Can I share my membership with someone else?
Yes. Several people can use the same membership, for a small fee per additional user. Check the conditions with your leasing manager.
Is the Internet reliable?
Every location offers a high-speed connection included in the membership, over wifi and wired depending on the desk. If you need a dedicated line or a specific setup, we put it in place, with a fee depending on the need.
Rooms and credits
Booking a room, member or not
Do I need to be a member to book a room?
No. Meeting, training and event rooms can be booked without a membership. Members get a preferred rate, and several plans include credits every month.
How do credits work?
One credit is worth one dollar. A meeting room costs ten credits per seat of capacity, per hour: a four-person room comes to forty credits an hour. Credit banks are paid in advance with a 10 to 35% discount depending on the size.
How do I book a room?
Members book in a few clicks in the Hedhofis app. Without a membership, use the form, indicating the location, the date and the number of people; a team member confirms availability and price.
Do credits carry over from month to month?
In most plans, no: the month’s credits are used within the month. Credit banks bought in advance, on the other hand, stay available. Talk to your leasing manager; there are several options depending on your needs.
Are credits valid at every location?
Yes. Your credits work at all eight locations in the network: a meeting in Longueuil on Monday, another in Quebec City on Thursday, from the same bank.
What does a room booking include?
The room with its screen, wifi, coffee and access to the common areas for the whole booking. Equipment varies from room to room: check what’s included when you book, and bring your whiteboard markers and an HDMI cable.
How many people fit in a room?
Four to fourteen in a meeting room, depending on the room and the location. Beyond that, we move to a training room, twenty to forty seats, by the half day or the day.
Commitment, deposit and cancellation
How you commit, and how you leave
Do I have to sign a one-year lease?
No. The dedicated desk, the private office and the corporate address are month to month. Only the corporate suite is taken on a short-term agreement of 24 months or more.
What are the cancellation terms?
A notice of 60 to 90 days depending on the plan. A company’s needs change; we adapt.
What is the security deposit for?
It covers any damage to the facilities, guarantees that the terms of the agreement are respected and that outstanding fees are paid. It’s returned to you at the end of the membership, once the space is handed back in good condition.
Monthly or yearly?
Your choice for the corporate address: the yearly option is paid at once and gives a 10% discount. The other plans are month to month. If you know you’re staying a long time, tell us: we’ll look at what’s possible.
What happens if my team grows or shrinks?
You change offices, we add a neighbouring one, or you go back to a dedicated desk, at the same location whenever possible. That’s one of the advantages of month to month: you adjust as the team changes.
Visits, trial day and community
Come and see before you choose
Can I visit before I commit?
Yes, and we encourage it. Book a visit through the form, indicating the location you’re interested in. A leasing manager shows you around, Monday to Friday.
What is the free trial day?
A day of work at the location of your choice, with no commitment: a desk, the common areas and the coffee, to see the space and the atmosphere before choosing a plan. Book it with the button at the top of the page.
Who works at Hedhofis?
Freelancers, startups, small and medium-sized businesses and remote workers from a wide range of industries. People who come for the space and stay for the community: it makes for an environment that encourages collaboration and networking.
Are there events?
Yes. The network hosts member meetups, workshops and business events throughout the year, at the locations. Members are kept informed by email.
How do I choose my location?
Start from where you are most often, and from the plan you’re looking for: corporate suites are in Brossard, podcast studios in Brossard and Royalmount, dedicated desks and private offices everywhere. The locations page gives you the addresses and how to get there.
