Once you have examined the financial issues related to operating a business from your home, there are some practical issues you will need to consider as well.<\/p>\n

The neighbours<\/p>\n

Your neighbours might not be as enthused as you are about your new enterprise, especially if it results in increased traffic volumes on what would otherwise be a quiet residential street. If you run a business where you work from home but see your clients at their homes or places of business, you will not have to deal with this issue.<\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, you plan to have your clients come to your home-office to pick up and drop off their bookkeeping (and assuming your neighbourhood is suitably zoned), it makes sense to discuss your plans with your neighbours first. You are not asking their permission; you are simply informing them as a courtesy and encouraging them to bring any concerns to your attention immediately instead of going to the municipality to complain. Who knows, your neighbours might end up being some of your best clients!<\/p>\n

The on-call syndrome<\/p>\n

Even if you set parameters on your availability, there is a probability that your clients will not always honour those limits. If you are the type of person who wants to create a distinct separation between your home life and your working life, you may not want to have a home-office. If you do choose to have clients come to your home, here are some tips to make having a home-office easier on you and our family:<\/p>\n

Have a separate entrance for your home-office. That way, if you do have unexpected clients, you do not have to traipse them through the kids’ playroom and the kitchen stacked high with dirty dishes.<\/p>\n

Communicate your meeting and telephone policies with all of your clients. Make sure they understand what is acceptable and not acceptable. Put a sign on the office entrance door with your hours of operation and information on making appointments.<\/p>\n

Be firm but professional with clients who show up unexpectedly. Explain to them (once again) that they will need to make an appointment so that you can be more prepared for their visit.<\/p>\n

Rave a telephone and fax line for the business separate from your home line. Turn off the ringer on the office telephone when it’s outside of office hours. Record a telephone message reiterating your office hours and that you will be pleased to return the call during those hours.<\/p>\n

Don’t feel bad about setting limits. It will make you look more professional. There are exceedingly few true bookkeeping emergencies that require immediate assistance.<\/p>\n
