There are plenty of great reasons to set up a home office. One of the perks of working from home is being able to take breaks when you want to, spend time with family, etc. However, this can quickly eat up your day without you realizing it. There’s nothing worse than picking up the phone with an important client and having a knock on your door or your child ask for something.
But as your business expands, you might begin to feel a little cramped in your home office. If, for instance, your “office” is little more than a desk packed into one corner of your living room, then it won’t be long before your freelance life—printers, paperwork, contracts, and file cabinets—begins to invade your personal space.
That's when you know it's time to go out and look for a small office space for lease. Establishing an office that runs efficiently requires accurate calculations of the space needed and what is affordable.
There is credibility that comes from an office with a business sounding address. For example, you nothing about two consulting firms. You only know that one consulting firm everybody worked out of their homes and the other firm had an office in the building next to the courthouse, you were a serious buyer of consulting services, from which consulting firm would you purchase consulting services?
If you have a business that requires a small office in the Van Nuys area then a small office from Van Nuys Offices may be the perfect solution for you. You can rent an office as small as 80 square feet or as large as 180 square feet. You can rent on a month to month, quarter to quarter or a year to year lease. All terms are flexible and negotiable. For a small additional monthly fee we can even provide fully furnished offices including desks, chairs, and cabinets.

How to Know Your Home Business Needs an Outside Office
It can be
complicated in determining when is the right time to move your home-based
business to a separate office space in.
Moving too soon can result in overhead that is outside of the current
cash flow ability. Waiting too long may
result in loss of customers or jobs. Operating out of the home can be a big
plus for many small business owners. By significantly lowering your overhead
expense, you can improve your profit margins in good times and reduce your
risks if the business cycle heads down. The advantages of moving out of your
home office boil down to increased professionalism, more space to work and
unlimited growth potential. Of course, with any advantage come a few
disadvantages, but nothing that can't be overcome.
There are a
few signs that let you know it's time to go out and look for an office
space. For example:
Interruptions:
- Dogs barking and family members needing your assistance will not only minimize your productivity but can be heard on calls and teleconferences. While most understand the demands of juggling business and home life, constant interruptions and background noise are not necessarily helpful when you’re trying to project a professional image.
Outgrown Space:
- Businesses that need a great deal of space or that need bulky equipment are obvious candidates for outside offices. But some businesses that don't need to be operated from outside offices can benefit from them. You're struggling to fit the new printer but you're struggling because there just isn’t room between your file cabinet and the queen-sized bed that also sits in your office. Maybe you do need a larger space that can be devoted just to your business. Piles of equipment or papers that are interfering with either your work or your family life also send a signal that it’s time to consider an outside office.
Space for Clients:
- When a big portion of your business involves meeting with clients, you may need more than just the local coffee shop. When you want to present to a larger group or need a truly professional meeting space, you’ll need to find something a little more appropriate than a cafĂ©. One option is to rent office space – you’ll get a set amount of hours in an office, along with access to a conference room.
Some
businesses operate most efficiently when they are located close to customers,
suppliers, or certain other facilities or businesses. For example, law offices
are often located close to the county courthouse, in part to minimize the time
spent running back and forth to court. Also, many customers or clients seem to
feel that a business with a permanent address other than someone's home is less
likely to be a fly-by-night operation, and more likely to be able to deliver on
guarantees.

Want to start your own business but scared of failing?
People always wonder if this is a good time to start their own business. The fact is, there's really never a bad time to launch a business. It's obvious why it's smart to launch in strong economic times. People have money and are looking for ways to spend it. But launching in tough or uncertain economic times can be just as smart. If you do some research and there's a high need for the business you're starting. Because many people are reluctant to launch in tough times, your new business has a better chance of getting noticed. And, depending on your idea, in a down economy there is often equipment (or even entire businesses!) for sale at bargain prices.
When you start a small business you face lots of challenges. In order to improve your chances of beating the odds, what is important is that you educate yourself about business development. Starting and running a business, or any form of self-employment, requires a range of skills and attitudes. It can be very demanding.
It’s important that you understand all the responsibilities you’ll have, and as many of the foreseeable challenges as you can. On the other hand, it’s also important to recognize the rewards of working for yourself and providing a quality product or a needed service to your customers and the community.
Working from home might seem to be cheaper than leasing or renting an office space, but in the current climate with lots of property available, office space rental isn’t the costly exercise you might think it to be. In fact, thanks to the recession, many landlords are simply eager to lease out their dead office space, and so as a result, prices are actually more competitive than ever.
You’ll be surprised at how cost effective this option can be and the extra benefit with renting an office space from Van Nuys Offices with one of their short-term contracts It also allows convenience and flexibility, which are both essential things when a business is in its fledgling state. Shop around, take a look at the deals – it could be the best thing you’ve done to date.

Is a Home Office the Best Idea
Home Office Getting too Crowded |
For
many new small business owners, a home office makes the most sense. Being able
to work from home is an appealing concept for women today. The cost of starting
a business is relatively low and women can feel more fulfilled knowing all the
hours they put into work are to build their own business instead of someone
else’s.More than 60 per cent of
people who start a business are now doing so from home. From fashion design, IT
and catering through pet care and arts/crafts to accountancy and legal services
– you name it – it’s being run as a business from someone’s home. Most cities and
towns will allow you to run a business out of your home as long as you meet
certain criteria. A major benefit of using your home as your business location
is that you won't waste any time commuting and you won't incur additional costs
to rent an office space. The IRS also offers significant tax deductions for a
home office used for your business.
But there is also drawbacks to working out of home. A major drawback of working from home is that you can never truly leave work. Also, many types of businesses aren't suited to a home location. The advantages of moving out of your home office boil down to increased professionalism, more space to work and unlimited growth potential. Of course, with any advantage come a few disadvantages, but nothing that can't be overcome. For some people, the chance to move into commercial premises provides a more professional outlook, greater scope for expansion and the room to accommodate permanent staff.
For some businesses, such
as lawyers, accountants, insurance
brokers, & classes, most clients
either want, or need, to come in for face-to-face appointments. Other businesses,
such as advertising firms, may be able to service their clients while hardly
ever meeting them in the flesh. Before you move out your home office, read on
to learn about the pros, cons, and factors to consider when moving to a retail
space. There will be lifestyle and financial changes to your business if you
choose to do so. You probably considered these factors when you decided to
start a home-based business, but you will have to consider them again. If you can afford the move
and want to expand your business to a larger clientele and higher production
rates, then moving to a commercial location will definitely accomplish that
goal.But there is also drawbacks to working out of home. A major drawback of working from home is that you can never truly leave work. Also, many types of businesses aren't suited to a home location.
