How CoworkCity Branches Differ — Identical Price & Guarantees Everywhere, Location Conditions Disclosed Upfront via 8 Filters
Across CoworkCity's 180+ branches, pricing, the guarantee program, and the service channel are 100% identical. Conditions that inevitably differ by location (corporate registration, licensing, overconcentration, inspection seats, etc.) are all disclosed before signing via 8 filters.
CoworkCity applies the same price, the same guarantee system, and a single HQ channel across all branches, and discloses only the differences that naturally arise from location — region, building, and the like — in advance through the 8 filters on the office search page. We operate more than 180 branches nationwide, but the price, guarantees, and service channel a user receives are 100% identical; only conditions that are inherently bound to differ, such as location and building-register use, are all verifiable before signing.
Which Parts of a CoworkCity Branch Are the Same, and Which Differ?
CoworkCity applies a single standard across all branches: the same price, the same guarantee system, and a single HQ channel. Whichever branch you choose, the payment amount, refund guarantees, and service channel are the same. However, since each branch is built on a different building and lease structure, location and building characteristics are inherently bound to differ.
| Same at all branches (no variation) | Differs by location (your choice) |
|---|---|
| Price (sole proprietor 20,000 won/month, corporation equivalent of 27,500 won/month) | Region / tax-office jurisdiction |
| Guarantee system (100% refund on rejection, free relocation on closure) | Whether in a metropolitan overconcentration control zone |
| Service channel (single HQ channel) | Building-register use |
| Contract terms (0-won deposit, 0-won cancellation penalty) | Registrable industries / whether licensing is possible |
| Operating standard (contract issuance, payment system) | Inspection seat / meeting room / unit structure |
What sets CoworkCity apart from other virtual-office providers is that it doesn't reveal the differing parts only at the sales stage — it discloses them all in advance via the 8 filters on the office search page.
What Are CoworkCity's 8 Filters?
Here is a rundown of the meaning, impact, and recommended use scenarios for the 8 filters available on the CoworkCity office search page.
| # | Filter | Options / Meaning | Impact | Recommended Use Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Region | Map-based search by city/district/neighborhood | Determines tax-office jurisdiction → affects inspection frequency and industry suitability | When you need an address in a specific region |
| 2 | Billing cycle | Annual / monthly | Monthly is roughly double the price (40,000 won/month); annual is 20,000 won/month | Early-stage short-term operation or optimizing annual cost |
| 3 | Business type | Sole proprietor / corporation | A corporation is possible only at the 80+ branches that support head-office registration | Essential when planning to establish a corporation |
| 4 | Overconcentration status | Control zone / non-control zone | The triple registration license tax difference for corporations; differences in youth startup tax reduction rates | When establishing a corporation + reviewing tax optimization |
| 5 | Industry | Up to 3 selections at once | Extracts registrable branches from 22 industries and 1,000+ industries | Licensed/specific-industry business registration |
| 6 | Building use | Neighborhood-living facility (Class 1/2) / general office / educational office / knowledge-industry center, etc. | Determines the range of registrable industries (affects licensed industries) | Reviewing licensed-industry registration |
| 7 | Licensing support | Available / unavailable | Licensed-industry registration is supported at 50+ branches | OEM manufacturing, mail-order, insurance agency, etc. |
| 8 | Lowest price / limited quantity | Toggle (lowest-price branches / limited-quantity branches) | Selectively displays promotional/limited branches | Cost-first or securing limited seats |
On the branch detail page, additional information is disclosed in table form, including unit use, whether an inspection seat is provided, whether there's a meeting room, and the billing-cycle combinations by business type.
How Do I Find the Branch That Fits My Conditions?
The most efficient approach is to first decide three things — your business type (sole proprietor/corporation), industry (whether licensed), and tax strategy (control zone/non-control zone) — and then activate the corresponding filters. Below are recommended filter combinations for 6 common situations.
| Situation | Recommended Filter Combination |
|---|---|
| Planning to establish a corporation (Seoul) | Business type: corporation + Region: Seoul + Overconcentration: non-control zone (tax optimization) or control zone (brand value) |
| Online seller (mail-order) | Industry: e-commerce + Licensing support: available |
| OEM cosmetics / health-functional food sales | Industry: cosmetics or health-functional food + Licensing support: available + Building use: office facility |
| Avoiding home-address disclosure (sole proprietor) | Business type: sole proprietor + Billing cycle: annual + Lowest price/limited quantity |
| Industries with frequent tax-office inspections | Region (specific tax-office jurisdiction) + check on the branch detail page whether an inspection seat is provided (the actual response is conducted by the business owner) |
| Occasionally need a meeting room | Billing cycle: annual + check on the branch detail page whether a meeting room is provided |

CoworkCity holds over 30,000 cumulative business-registration contract data points, so by giving your industry name you can also receive a pre-screening of suitability. After the review, you can learn which branches allow registration of your industry and what additional filings/permits are needed.
Do Prices Differ by Branch?
There's no price difference. CoworkCity operates a same-price-across-all-branches policy.
- Sole proprietors: 20,000 won/month (VAT included) on annual billing
- Corporations: the equivalent of 27,500 won/month on annual billing
Prime-area branches like Gangnam, Jongno, and Pangyo and non-control-zone provincial branches are all charged the same rate. Branches that support corporate registration aren't more expensive than ordinary ones, and branches with an inspection seat or meeting room don't charge an extra fee.
The lowest-price/limited-quantity filter is for separately displaying promotional limited branches (e.g., branches running ultra-low-cost seats at 10,000 won/month), and we operate with VAT included, a 0-won deposit, and a 0-won cancellation penalty so the displayed price equals the amount charged.
What Happens If I Choose the Wrong Branch?
CoworkCity operates two protections stated in its terms.
- 100% refund if business registration is rejected: if the competent tax office rejects your business registration, you can receive a full refund of the contract amount upon submitting proof of rejection.
- Free relocation for the remaining term if a branch closes: even if the branch you're using closes, you can relocate the remaining contract term to another branch free of charge, and re-contracting at the relocated branch is also possible.
Also, before electronically signing the contract, you can receive a full refund of the payment amount, and after signing, transfer to a third party is an option stated in the terms. A simple cancellation after 1 month of contract is difficult to refund, but you can make use of it by transferring the contract to a third party.
These guarantees apply equally across all CoworkCity branches regardless of whether a branch is directly-run or a partner.
Is Customer Service the Same at Every Branch?
It's the same. Because CoworkCity operates on a single-HQ-channel principle, all inquiries, refunds, and contract-related responses are handled directly by CoworkCity HQ. You'll never have to contact a partner-branch owner directly to resolve something.
For a tax-office inspection, the branch provides a seat where the business owner can respond directly (CoworkCity does not respond on your behalf). Whether a seat is provided can be confirmed in advance on the branch detail page.
Branch-to-branch variation arises naturally from differences in location and building, but the service quality, guarantee system, and service channel a user receives are designed to operate under a single standard.
Closing — Checking in Advance with the 8 Filters Reduces Risk
The biggest risk when choosing a virtual-office provider is branch-specific differences you only learn after signing. Some providers reveal terms only at the sales stage, and there are cases where you only learn your industry couldn't be registered after signing.
CoworkCity has a structure that allows pre-contract verification via the 8 filters, and provides pre-screening of suitability based on over 30,000 cumulative business-registration data points. It's also designed to handle risks beyond your control with a 100% refund if business registration is rejected and a free-relocation guarantee if a branch closes.
By using the 8 filters centered on your business type (sole proprietor/corporation), industry (whether licensed), tax strategy (control zone/non-control zone), and usage frequency (whether you need a meeting room), you can pre-screen the most suitable branch.
