Operate Your Business Out Of A Conservatory

Figures show that in 2011 there were just short of 6 million home-based businesses in the UK. The rise in popularity of shows such as The Apprentice and Dragons Den have definitely motivated some people to go it alone, not to mention improvements in technology and communications. It is far easier to work from home than it once was.

To be able to run your business effectively from the comfort of your own home, you need a suitable and dedicated location that you can work in and a conservatory or orangery would be ideal. Why utilise a home extension, rather than a conventional office? Listed below are a few reasons:

Cost

Getting a new business off the ground usually requires substantial capital so every penny counts. If you were to rent external premises then you would be subject to numerous overheads including secondary gas and electricity costs, rental charges, purchase of furniture etc.

Commuting

One of the worst things about driving to work first thing in the morning or at the end of the working day is getting stuck in heavy traffic. It can leave you with serious road rage. Just imagine, you’ll never have to do the daily commute ever again, that’s makes working from home a hugely attractive proposition.

Petrol

Unless you cycle into work, you have to regularly fill your car or motorbike with fuel to get back and to. Car-sharing with your colleagues is always a good idea, but sometimes that option isn’t available. And as for public transport, well we all know how chaotic it can be when packed in like a tin of sardines on the bus or train.

Family

Combining work life and family life is difficult to get right, especially if you have very young children to look after. Being more readily available within the household will help you kill two birds with one stone but be sure not to let your family distract you from your work too often.

If you have an innovation or business idea that you want to take to market then there can be few better starting points than getting a conservatory or orangery installed.
