Stay at home mums and dads running there business 23rd May 2013 5:10 PM

There is nothing bad with working from home, if you feel comfortable doing so, however if you can afford a small office - definitely have one. There is a huge difference to know it is the place to work and your home is the place to enjoy time with your family. In addition, many people do find it more professional if you have even a small office. You can always invite a potential client to discuss things over a nice cup of tea at the office. There is nothing bad to invite them at home, too, but:
1. Would you feel comfortable letting people you don`t know at your home ?
2. Would you feel comfortable if your baby is crying the next room?
3. What would you miss a perfect job opportunity, because you don`t seem professional enough in the eyes of your client?

Jamie, there are a lot success stories out there. I like reading them and for a moment i forget my suspicions and start thinking on how I can apply a similar idea for our business. I believe this is a very important point when it comes to marketing - seeing and idea and trying to make it grow, to improve it and see it work.

I am not familiar with the catering business, however in my opinion when offering this kind of services, it is always best to gain positions locally and then start expanding!
