Business Virtual Office vs. a Home Office

These days, both self-employed and corporate employees are working from home as well as from a business virtual office. The practice of working away from the “corporate offices” started in the late 1980’s, and, like anything new, had its skeptics. Statistics show that employers had nothing to fear. People who work from home accomplish as much or more than employees who work at the corporate offices. Entrepreneurs also can now work from home without the fear that potential new clients will not take them seriously.

But. . .

There are still a few problems for some self-employed professionals who work from home. These professionals would benefit from blending their home office with a virtual office.
