Is a No-Office Workforce in Your Future?

Tuesday October 17, 2006
Creating a no-office workforce could be an ideal way to grow your home business. When your home business grows beyond a one-person organization, you may feel like you should rent office space in order to have a place for your employees or subcontractors to work. A viable alternative, and one that is growing in popularity, is to create a no-office workforce. Since you know you can be quite productive working from your office at home, if you select the right people to work with you, there's usually a pretty good argument for saving on the overhead that arises from renting office space.

The growth of home-based businesses may result in increased popularity for the no-office workforce. In my conversation with Kathy Ireland, she said she too envisioned a time when more and more businesses would be operated on a no-office basis. Without geograhpical restrictions you may also have a better chance to find just the right people you want to work for your business.
