Shared Equipment. Real Address. Calgary.

A Real Address.
Real Equipment.
No Bay Required.

Business Membership gives your product business a professional address and access to shared equipment — without paying for space you don't need.

Is This You?

This is for you if:

  • You're already running a real product business — not still figuring out if it's a thing
  • You need tools and equipment beyond what you personally own
  • You want a professional business address
  • You don't need a locked, private space of your own
Need your own dedicated space instead? See Bays

Every Business Membership Includes

  • Shared equipment and tool access
  • A real business address
  • Shipping and receiving, with someone at the desk
  • A boardroom you can bring a client into
  • App access and job board — for finding work and finding makers
  • Resource library and Preferred Partner perks
  • Monthly "Get Unstuck" sessions
  • Photo studio access, plus monthly product photography nights with a pro photographer

An operating business behind it

Maker Hub is built by Jason and Joie, co-founders with over 30 years in and around Calgary's fabrication and construction industry — from one-man crews to large commercial operations. Behind Maker Hub is JC² Inc., their existing fabrication/manufacturing company and one of our Maker Hub Anchor tenants. This isn't a startup concept — an existing business will be operating in the building right alongside you. The struggles of growing JC² Inc. are why Maker Hub YYC exists.

Built for people who sell what they make

This isn't a hobby shop. Everyone here is running something. That changes what gets talked about at the coffee machine.

The whole setup, not pieces of it

Space to work. Industrial tools. Storage when you need it. A place to meet a client. People who are running the same kind of business you are. Most people are buying those one at a time from four different places, and paying to get set up at each one.

No lease. No fit-out. No five-year bet.

The smallest industrial bay you can lease in southeast Calgary still comes with a multi-year term, a deposit, and a build-out bill before you plug anything in. Small-bay space in this city is the tightest it's been in years. Business Membership skips all of that — no lease, no deposit, no build-out bill. Start now, scale up when the work does.

Access to tools you'd never justify buying

Most of the shop is included with your membership. The big-ticket machines — the ones that cost more than a work truck — are billed by use, at a reduced member rate. No maintenance, no repairs, no depreciation, no machine sitting idle in your garage eleven months of the year. Available when you need them.

Grow without moving

Start with the membership. Add a bench when you need one. Add storage when inventory shows up. Add a bay when you've got a crew. Same building, same people, no moving day.

Become a Founding Member

Pay $39/month or $200 one time deposit — either way, you get full app access now, lock in 15% off Business Membership pricing for as long as you're a member, and whatever you've paid goes straight toward your first month once we open.

Signing up isn't a lease — it's telling us this is the plan. Final terms are still subject to location, pricing, and your inspection of the completed space.
