What I would like to know is what exactly you would be looking for from a service like this? I was thinking something along the lines of a low cost setup, providing office space on a per cube basis, with phone line, basic PC with internet access and IT support, and possibly some sort of communal space with coffee/tea etc and some bookable conference rooms where "tenants" could arrange to have business meetings etc. I came across www.regus.ie , but I dont know how good they are. They appear to be a multi-national operation offering a Premium service, but I would imagine that costs would be quite high, looking at what they offer. In comparison, what I was looking at doing would be at the lower end of the scale, providing office facilities one or two steps above a home office setup. Clients would rent one or more cubes on a month to month basis until they had grown enough to move out to something a bit more glamorous.
As I said though, all this is still in my imagination. The DCU and UCD offerings you mentioned are more technology oriented, and Regus seem to want to provide temporary office space to larger clients, so what kind of service do you see yourself needing? Also, I'm not positive but maybe the UCD and DCU guys take you under their wing if they believe you will make it, and then take a percentage of your profits. If this is so, I imagine there would be stiff competition for spaces there.
Cheers,
BadBoy
