KN WORKS.
Grows with you.

A connected network of business hubs for small and medium-sized businesses: workspace, storage, warehousing and logistics in one place, with the people and technology around them. Instead of renting a unit, a business joins a network that grows as it does.

The network

The product isn’t the building.

It’s the business infrastructure around it. Tap through what a KN WORKS hub can hold. Not every site has everything; each one is built around what makes sense for its location.

Grows with you

Start with 100 sq ft. Grow into the network.

Built for businesses that have outgrown the spare room, the garage or the lock-up, but don’t want a big commercial lease. Drag to see the journey.

What makes it different

Six providers. One network.

A growing business usually pieces these together from different places. KN WORKS joins them up, so it can run from one ecosystem.

KN WORKS connects them.
A two-sided network

Growing businesses build here. Larger companies plug in.

For SMEs

Build your business here.

Work, store, fulfil, distribute and grow through the network. A Sheffield business could keep its main stock locally, then use KN WORKS hubs in other cities as regional stock and dispatch points as the network grows.

For larger companies

Access the network.

No permanent lease needed. Use KN WORKS hubs as regional workspace, bring teams together, and reach the businesses, suppliers and couriers across the network. A corporate day could run:

MORNINGTeam meeting or strategy session
MIDDAYLunch, networking and workshops
AFTERNOONAI, technology or business workshops
LATERSport, gym, wellness or social time on site
KN WORKS AI Lab

Bring us a problem.
Build the solution with us.

Not a lecture on AI. A business arrives with a job that eats five hours a week, and leaves with an AI workflow built to cut it down. Workshops, build days and ongoing support, on site.

The flywheel

The bigger the network, the more it’s worth to every business inside it. Tap any step.

How a site is put together

Three layers. Each can be owned differently.

An investor doesn’t have to buy land to take part in a site, and a landowner doesn’t have to fund the whole build. Tap a layer.

Land partnerOwns the freehold. Paid in rent and/or a share of the venture, and keeps any rise in the land’s value.
Storage asset partnerFunds containers or equipment. Takes an agreed share of the storage income. See the Container Collective.
Capital partnerFunds the build. Takes part under the site’s written agreement.
Local operatorRuns the site. Salary, fees, profit share or equity, by agreement.
KN WORKSBrings the brand, network, systems, customers and site know-how.

We don’t need to own every location. We need to control the network.

Find your route

Own. Invest. Partner. Grow the network.

KN WORKS grows through assets, acquisitions and people, not one fixed model. Tell us what you bring and we’ll show you the routes that fit.

OWN

KN buys the land

We buy the freehold, develop it into the right KN WORKS format and run it. Our preferred route for the flagship and strategic sites.

Most capital · full ownershipOffer us land or a site →
INVEST

Your land, our infrastructure

Keep your land. We put in the containers, systems, brand and customers. Paid as a fixed rent, a base rent plus a share of site income, or by going into a venture on the land.

Less capital · faster rolloutPut your land forward →
PARTNER

Joint venture

Land, capital and the KN WORKS platform combined in a company set up for that site, with the risk and the reward shared under the venture agreement.

ACQUIRE

Bring your business in

Run a storage, warehouse or logistics business? Sell outright, sell part and keep a stake, or keep running it as a KN WORKS partner with our technology, customers and capital behind you.

OPERATE

Have the local knowledge, the customers or the team, but not the capital? We bring the capital access, systems and network around you.

The investor waterfall

Money moves in order. Always.

When a site earns, the money is paid out in a fixed order. Each level is paid in full before the next one gets anything. Drag to see how it fills.

A quiet periodA strong period

Illustrative only. No amounts, rates or returns are shown or promised. Each site’s order of payment, preferred return and profit split are set out in its own written agreement.

Two kinds of return

Income from the site. Value in the land.

Containers earn rent but can lose value over time. Land is where most of the long-term growth in value sits. We keep the two apart.

Cashflow

Rent from storage, warehouse space, offices and workspace, fees from fulfilment and logistics, and use by larger companies. After costs and agreed reserves, profit is shared as each deal sets out.

Capital value

Land rises in value through planning, development, infrastructure and steady occupancy, and by becoming part of a national network. That value can be dealt with in three ways:

HOLDREFINANCESELL
Acquire→Develop→Fill the site→Recurring income→Grow the asset→Hold, refinance or sell→Recycle capital→Build the next site
The long view

The physical operating network for Britain’s SMEs.

Space when they need space.
Storage when they need storage.
Logistics when they need logistics.
People when they need people.
Infrastructure when they need infrastructure.

KN WORKS is being built and no KN WORKS location is open yet. The structures on this page show how a site could be put together; they are not forecasts, guaranteed returns or an offer to invest. Costs, occupancy, income, asset values, financing and terms will vary by location and project. All investment carries risk, and any formal opportunity is subject to its own legal documents, due diligence, professional advice and the rules that apply to it.
