Downtown Santa Rosa · Workspace & Business Support

Co-working space and business support in downtown Santa Rosa.

Two things live at 350 E Street, and both matter equally. Rooms you can rent by the hour or the month — desks, a podcast studio, a media room, a workshop hall, a mailbox. And a team that helps you handle licensing, funding, permits, and marketing, at no cost, in English or Spanish.

The B-OSS building at 350 E Street in downtown Santa Rosa

What you get with B-OSS

  • One coordinated hub instead of bouncing between agencies
  • Hands-on help with filings, funding, and growth
  • Your progress tracked, so you never start over
  • Co-working space, tech room, and media studio access
Why we're different

Most places do one or the other

You can rent a desk in Santa Rosa. You can get business advising in Santa Rosa. Doing both in the same building, in the language you prefer, is the part nobody else offers.

Co-working operators

Space, and that's it

  • Desks and offices to rent
  • No advising on licensing or funding
  • No recording or media facilities
Business programs

Advice, but nowhere to work

  • Counselling and training programs
  • No space to rent or work from
  • No business address or mailbox

  • Everything in English and Spanish

Feedback

Stories from our entrepreneurs

I had just earned my contractor's license when I was hired to remodel the B-OSS building. After the first week I felt overwhelmed and wanted to quit. Hector told me to take a week off and come back to finish the job. Like a lot of new business owners, I was scared of the unknown — but with that guidance I came back, and I finished what is now B-OSS.

I was selling food out of my backyard when I heard about the Mercado Rosa workshop. I attended, and with the guidance I received I earned my Cottage Food permit. Now I sell at farmers markets across the area — including Mercado Rosa itself.
