Spare room or boardroom? Solving the home office dilemma
The home has now become the UK’s most popular start up location. Over 1400 new home businesses are started each week which can bring the benefits of a shorter commute, more time with the family and reduced overheads. But the downsides are having the ability to maintain discipline, creating the appropriate environment, and feeling isolated. Karen Skidmore runs CanDoCanBe, a company that helps women create successful home businesses. She will explain how to make home working work for you by providing some useful tips and experiences to maximise the potential of your home business.
Karen Skidmore, CanDoCanBe
When Karen decided to leave corporate life and start a new business from home, she felt she had jumped off a cliff with no parachute. As she began to learn and understand what could be achieved and how to create a successful (and profitable) home business, CanDoCanBe was created. The business now supports hundreds of women across the UK by sharing the “secrets” and short-cuts to running a home based business. www.candocanbe.com
