If you are self-employed you may go out to houses, offices or factories etc. to carry out your main day to day job or you may work from home. Working from home can have many advantages such as being able to fit it around your other commitments and not having any travel costs, but it can also have some negative points.
Working from home can be hard if you struggle to stay focused and get easily distracted. If you are at home you are likely to start to look around you and think of other house hold chores you need to do. You may find that you simply cannot get your work done effectively and you also may often feel quite lonely that you never leave the house.
If this is the case for you then you may want to look in to renting an office space. This often works out quite a bit less than renting an office, as you simply rent a desk or a room within another business premises. This allows you to work with other people whilst still running your own business. Often these places allow you to pay a weekly or monthly amount and use the office space and facilities such as internet etc. Some may even have a meeting room that you can use when available.
