Home based businesses in the UK
You can save both money and time by installing a garden building or studio as you cut out the daily commute to work. An average worker can accumulate an extra 3 weeks per year by not having to commute to and from the head office. All this extra time can easily be fed back into your business, or you can enjoy your additional days as leisure time on your favourite hobby. Your garden building is just a short walk out of your back door becoming very convenient, especially during the cold and wet mornings. It can even be more satisfying when you tune your radio in to the local traffic news to listen to all the traffic chaos.
With modern technology like email, fast internet speeds, wireless connections, networking etc, it has become much easier to run your business from home and still have your colleagues on call as if they were sat in the same office as you. The “virtual world” makes everything and everyone much more accessible.
The work/life balance is very important and invariably both parents need to work, and still have the demands of a young family. Setting up a business from a garden building or studio could be very beneficial where the worker has their own space to work, but are only a few steps away to attend to the needs of the family. A garden building can be a fantastic and refreshing environment that provides a much more laid back atmosphere to work, increasing your productivity, motivation and general all round mental satisfaction.
