Co-letting

Co-letting lets two or more businesses share a single commercial space and split the rent, service charge and, where it makes sense, staff and utilities. For early-stage entrepreneurs across Greater Kampala, it is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to occupy a location that would otherwise be out of reach.

It is the second step in the Qubicle journey: find your location, match your complement, then fit out and occupy.

Why co-letting works

The magic is in the match. A coffee counter inside a bookshop, a barber sharing a unit with a cosmetics stall, a print shop beside a stationery seller, each business brings customers the other can serve. You cut your fixed costs while growing the traffic through your door.

What you get with Qubicle co-letting

• See who else is interested in the same space and whether their business complements yours.
• Split rent, service charge and utilities transparently, with terms agreed up front.
• Access prime, high-footfall locations at a fraction of the solo cost.
• Flexible arrangements with clear exit terms, so you can scale into your own space when ready.

Making the arrangement succeed

• Agree the split in writing, rent, service charge, utilities and responsibilities.
• Define the zones, which part of the floor belongs to whom, and how shared areas are used.
• Align the hours, or agree how the space is covered when one party is away.
• Set a short, fair notice period that protects both sides.
