Work from home Versus Work from Office

Obviously, certain company operations require a specific form of the trading area, such as a retail franchise firm that sells items or commodities to members of the public. To bring your items in front of potential customers, you'll need a retail storefront or high-traffic trade location.

Many individuals believe that running a company from home is the best option since it provides a balance between the need to earn a living and a way to deal with the stress and demands of family life. This can be especially true for families with school-age children.

Even if you have determined that working from home is the best option for you, you should still carefully consider the repercussions. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Working from home

Advantages

• You work when it is convenient for you - Flexibility with your time No travel costs to and from work
• Low overhead - no commercial property or office costs
• Tax-efficient - in some situations, you may be able to deduct part of your home's operating costs from your taxes.

Disadvantages

• Family/relatives/household tasks may cause an interruption.
• Customers may get the notion that you are a "small-time business" if you use a home address.
• It may be difficult to distinguish between work and leisure activities at home.
• Working at a desk

Working from Office

Advantages

• Job atmosphere that is focused - no distractions that take you away from your work.
• Work-life/home physical separation
• Prospective buyers will perceive you as more professional, especially if you need to ask them to meetings.

Disadvantages 

• Rental and utility costs for commercial property
• Transportation costs to and from the office
• If you have family events to attend, you may need to travel more.

These are just a few things to keep in mind. People who are most productive when working from home are frequently those that are extremely work-driven, can concentrate their attention on the pressing assignment, and can successfully segregate their business and domestic lives. If you are easily distracted and require physical separation of work and home to be focused, it is likely that running your business opportunity or franchise from a dedicated office would be more productive.
