Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to create a credible plan of how the new activities in Viljavarasto centre can give enough revenue stream. The revenue stream has to cover the costs of renovation loan, up keeping as well as make profit to the owners. This plan will be used to acquire capital from investors. The reasons to attempt this are the desire to save the grand old building in central Salo, offer functional working environments for local microentrepreneurs and help them grow and improve the image of Salo.
The Nokia mobile phone development centre and assembly plant has attracted plenty of educated, talented professionals to the area. The factory was shut department by department during 2009 - 2016 and direct and related redundancies were over 6000 people. On the other hand, there are over 5000 companies in Salo, of which one out of three established within the last five years. A large number of the new companies are run by one or a few people.
Cowork centres are a contemporary trend. Offering workspace with supporting facilitation as a service is one example of businesses that have evolved from the scratch during the last few decades. Currently so many of them are succeeding and there are centres to benchmark from.
Old industrial buildings are renovated into new use all over Finland, their value and functionality has been newly found. The town of Salo is not planning any renovations to the mill building, but it is protected in the city plan drawings.
There is a realistic chance to start a profitable cowork centre in this old granary building and this will also lease new life to the building. Plans and calculations will now be turned into marketing material in order to obtain funding.
