Hi All,
Bit random but lots of small business owners on here so thought I'd get the opinion on those with experience operating exclusive home offices.
Basically I have an office in the city, but find despite being only 8km's out of the CBD it takes on average around 45 mins each way at peak hour just to commute.
My business is not a go to business as I generally meet clients at their offices or a coffee shop, so the only purpose of the office is clerical work. The nature of my business means virtually all my employees are remotely located anyway and the couple which aren't easily could be.
So the crux of the questions is, does it work? and What are the con's?
Assuming a completely separate room with no distractions tv's etc and all the necessary office equipment.
I just think 45mins commute x 2 (each way) x 5 days x 48 weeks (allow 4 weeks for annual leave) equates to a crazy 360 hours a year saved or 15 whole days. Which are essentially spent polluting the earth more, adding to congestion + fuel + tolls.
It seems the obvious move if I can do it, but as they say "the grass is not always greener on the otherside". Or is it?
