Where to Work from Do you want to work from Home, Office, Shop / Barrow (Cart) in Shopping center or Flea market? This is one of the toughest decisions you have to make – below are the advantages and disadvantages of all these options. Working from Home This is the cheapest option, and also the best option for any small business startup. You do have some restrictions in the type of work you can do from home. You can only really run an office type business, which doesn’t produce noxious fumes, huge amounts of noise, or dangerous emissions, so for the systems we sell you’re ok. Council bylaws generally allow you to work from home as long as the number of workers is only two or doesn’t exceed the number of occupants in the house, and also as long as the neighbors don’t object (so you need to be on good terms with them) – although truth be told unless your neighbour complains to council you’re not going to have “spot” inspection. The disadvantages of working from home are: 1. Unless you make a conscious effort to do so, your business life starts merging with your home life, and after a while you start feeling that you have no life. 2. Sitting at home working the whole day and then sitting in the same house after work can get frustrating (and boring). A simple solution is to work in a separate section of the house to what you live in (if at all possible). 3. Your customers all get to see where you live (which is not always a good thing). 4. Some corporate customers may have reservations in dealing with you (although if you always go to them instead of them coming to you, they will never know). 5. Unless you have a separate phone line, junk calls and customers will call you out of business hours. 6. Unless you have a separate entrance to the area you are working from in your house customers will be walking through your house.
