4 Ways to Make Your Home-Run Business More Professional

More people are starting their own business from home, and many are incredibly successful. With the help of virtual technology, a home-operated business can be as efficient as one located in a downtown office building. The following tips can help you to optimize the home business experience for clients and customers in establishing a professional image and reputation.

Put Boundaries Around Your Workspace

Wherever you decide to set up your home office, enclose it from the rest of the house in one way or another. A folding faux wood room divider reminds the family and pets that your work area is off limits. Of course, if you choose to open the door at times, that is fine, too. Set up your office in a nook or cranny in an out of the way place, for example, a corner in the finished basement or a niche converted from a sizable walk-in closet. If you are fortunate enough to have an entire room for your work area, you can add shelves for office supplies, printer paper, or publications related to your work. A small file cabinet can be included as backup storage for your virtual files online.

Create an Area for Client Meetings

Arrange a comfortable seat or two near your desk or workspace for professional meetings. Small business owners who work from home need a professional place to meet with clients. While it is perfectly fine and even preferable at times to hold video conferences with clients from your desktop computer, make sure your background looks business-like, free of clutter and distractions, with attractive décor comparable to an actual company setting. Check for adequate lighting if you plan to video conference meetings from your home office.


All of that being said, many professionals don’t like the idea of going into people’s homes, so searching for some other solution might be wise. Many areas are now offering temporary offices, or are renting out desk space, single desks, single rooms, or suites for those remote workers who want to have a professional space to conduct their meetings and other arrangements. These virtual offices also help small business owners or entrepreneurs get their business off the ground because it offers them a professional looking mailing address, and it’s a space that you could retire to if things at home prove to be too distracting.

Build an Office Environment

Both for work motivation and professional impressions, arrange your home workspace to look like a business office. Shop for inexpensive desk accessories, including office supplies and maybe a desk lamp or standing lamp for added illumination. Keep distractions like books for pleasure reading, cleaning supplies, and children's toys away from your working area. Avoid eating more than an occasional snack or beverage to prevent crumbs and spillage.

Integrate Technology and Social Media

Keep your computer and cell phone in good working condition. Connect your business online via a well-designed website and social media. This helps to inform the public of your existence as well as making your business tech-savvy.


A professional home office leads to success. No matter what it takes, making your office work for you should be your first priority.


Every business needs insurance, and we know just how to help. No matter the size, if you’re only a handful of people, or you have hundreds or thousands under you, then you need some sort of security for you and your employees. See how our business insurance can protect you and your employees today!
