The Airbnb model,
but for events.

With Airbnb a lot of ordinary people started earning from a space. An event space is simpler: you rent the space, you open it only when there is an event, and the requests are generated by the FLAC model, together with word of mouth from your guests.

  • Red tape, permits, classification

Not just private events Companies choose FlacSpace venues too.

Residents' meetings, assemblies, training courses, presentations: these mostly happen Monday to Thursday, when private events are thinner on the ground. And they come back on their own: a residents' committee meets several times a year, a course has several sessions. The same venue works seven days a week.

QR code for the franchise application

In the room guests scan the QR code and the photo appears on the big screens, like a polaroid. Afterwards they download them all. This QR code leads to the franchise application.

How did it go?

Having fun?

The totem asks for the review while the party is still warm: that is when people actually leave one.

The “blank canvas” design

Every square centimetre
is by design.

One clean room, a thousand different events. The FlacSpace design is a deliberate choice: white, bright, pared back. It does not impose a theme, it welcomes one. That is why the same room works for a kids birthday, for an 18th and for a corporate event, and it sets us apart from themed venues, which only suit one kind of event.

Pale walls, white furniture, nothing superfluous: it is the client who gives the event its colour.

The format, in detail

It is not an empty room.
It is a designed product.

Layout, colours, materials, lighting, sound, big screens, in-room totem. Every element is decided upfront and replicated identically in every venue: you do not have to invent anything, you just apply it.

“You are not running a shop.
Guests the most important moments
of people’s lives.”

Let us be straight

New venues open
every day.

True, and there is no point pretending otherwise. Opening a venue is easy: four walls, a sound system, an ad on Facebook. In three years there will be ten venues like yours in your province.

What can be copiedEverything that fits in a photograph

The walls, the sound system, the sofa, the round table, the coloured lights. Sooner or later somebody copies it, and rightly so: it works. On that, in a few years, we will all be equal.

What cannot be copiedEverything you do not see

The software that runs the bookings. The dashboard where you find everything. The screen in the room that turns tonight's guests into next month's booking. And eighteen people who have already walked the road you are about to walk. This is not something you assemble over a weekend.

Opening a venue is easy. Filling it every weekend for ten years is another job entirely.

Who it is for

You do not need premises.
You just have to decide to start.

It does not matter where you start from. It matters where you want to get to. You do not need a space already, or experience in events: the premises are a step we take together, not an entry requirement.

📍
You do not have premises yet

It is not an obstacle. We analyse your area, pinpoint where it makes sense to open and support you in finding and assessing the space.

💖
You finally want something of your own

You want to work for yourself, change career or build a second business. Here you get a structured, repeatable format, not a leap in the dark.

🏠
Do you already have a space

Premises, a warehouse, a former shop. We assess together whether it suits the format: if it does, FlacSpace turns it into an events machine.

📈
You want to invest intelligently

An area defined together so you never compete with the other venues, clients who come back every year and a format already proven over a thousand events. You see the numbers before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

The questions
everyone asks us.

No, and it is not an entry requirement. If you do not have a space we start from an analysis of the area, pinpoint where it makes sense to open and support you in finding and assessing the property. If you already have premises, the first thing we do is work out together whether they suit the format.
No. The format is documented and the training starts from scratch: processes, booking management, client relationships and how to use our platform SmartVenue. What it takes is being there, looking after the client and willingness to follow the method.
Yes, it is possible and it often happens as a second business. On the call we work out together how much the venue really demands and how to organise the day-to-day — not least because events cluster at weekends and in the evenings.
It depends on the area, the floor area and the state of the premises: a city-centre site and a warehouse to be done up are not the same sum. The financial simulation we prepare for you shows the investment, costs and projected revenue for your your area, using real data from the venues already open — not sample figures. You get it before any commitment: you decide after seeing your own numbers.
It is the tool we put at your disposal during the launch, not a document you get by applying. It is for the hardest part of the journey: working out which area is worth opening in and assessing the premises you find — catchment, competition, how easy it is to reach, the real potential of the address. We use it together, with our team alongside you in the search.
Two venues company-owned, run by us directly: Cernusco sul Naviglio and Benevento, open since 11 October 2026. Then 3 active franchisees e 15 franchisees opening across Italy. The company-owned venues matter more than they look: they are where the format gets tested, so whatever we ask of a franchisee, we have already done ourselves, with our own money.
We define your area together, with dedicated analysis tools: catchment, how people actually move around, competition, the potential of the area. It is not a radius drawn at a desk, because twenty minutes in a city and twenty minutes in the provinces are not the same thing. The goal is simple: two FLAC venues must never compete with each other.
No. You get the FlacSpace team, the same people who run the venues every day. No salespeople, no pressure: first the data on your area, then a call to see whether it makes sense for both of us.
