Information technology has evolved to the extent that it is now possible to do their business almost entirely through the internet. People can work from home and that has its own perks, such as convenience, affordability, and freedom.
Productivity
However, there are also disadvantages of setting up a working space at home rather than getting an office. One is that there are too many distractions at home that can hinder your productivity. These include children, pets, TV, random visits from friends and family, who’ll make a point of visiting because they know you are always home.
Even without distractions, the environment is not always ideal to work in. There are many temptations such as going to the fridge, lying on the bed, watching a movie. These temptations happen because you feel less inhibited when you are at home than at the office. Most people, who’ve worked both at home and in an office, will confirm that you can accomplish more with the latter option.
Collaborative Environment
The other reason some people opt to get an office space, is to tap into a social and collaborative environment that the space affords them. They can interact with the other co workers for collaborative reasons. Also, working from home can make one feel lonely and isolated from the rest of the world.
Perceptions and Image
You may also want to consider the image of your company. Most of your clients are not going to have a high opinion of your company once they realize that you operate entirely from home. Keep in mind that perception will play a key role in determining whether you’ll clinch that first deal.
