Back Home

When I went full-time with Giantpea I ran it from our converted attic. To start with this was ideal, the attic was spacious and out of the way from the rest of the house, with the added bonus of not being far from a cupboard to raid.

A month or so in to the business I decided that as a limited company having an external office would add some professionalism to the company, and would hopefully attract further clients if there was a place for them to drop in for a chat. I found a nice little office which was cheap on rent with rates and electric inclusive, plus it had the added bonus that it was only a few yards from the fire station.

Fast forward to present day…

Last week after 14 months in the office I decided to move out and head back home to the attic! Why?

In the next post I shall explain why, plus what I think the pros and cons of being home based.

I might also write another post asking the question “Was it right to form a limited Co.?”
