As your business grows and develops, you might be faced with the tough decision to take your business elsewhere or stay in your home office. The need for a prestigious business address, 24/7 professional meeting space availability, and live phone reception service can necessitate the change from a home office to full service office space. However, there is a third option…one step in between…that might be the perfect compromise between the two workspace solutions…a virtual office. A virtual office gives you all of the convenience of a home office but with the support you would expect from a full service office space. To help you with this crucial decision for the future success and vitality of your business, following are some pros and cons of working from home and working via a virtual office.

Work from Home

Benefits: Convenience, most affordable and accessible option, work whenever-however.

Drawbacks: Lack of professional image and meeting space, hard to create home/work life boundaries, easy to get distracted.

Virtual Office

Benefits: More affordable than traditional office space, increased flexibility, professional meeting space, live phone answering service, prestigious mailing address, professional look and feel, ability to network with other like-minded professionals, ability to focus on your business.

Drawbacks: Increased cost

There are clear benefits to conducting business in a professional setting outside of your home. A virtual office makes you official in the eyes of your customers and sends a clear message that you are serious about your business. It also gives potential customers a chance to visit your office, meet with you, and feel comfortable doing business with you. It is hard to counteract the obtrusive feeling your clients feel when conducting business inside your home.

There are pros and cons to working inside and outside of your home and the key is figuring out which option works best for you.
