A large portion of startup businesses start out as home-based operations (according to The Start Up Donut the figure stands at a whopping 60%). Now for some businesses the fact that they’re home based - or ‘kitchen-top’ operations is absolutely fine; in fact for some it’s actually seen as a good thing. But for some this isn’t such a great thing, especially if the business provides more financial / professional services. So what do you do if your startup provides the latter services and you don’t want people to know that your enterprise is a home-based one?
This is where a Virtual Office Service can help.
