The new year is here, and that means many of us might have written down endless lists of New Year Resolutions in an attempt to lose weight, travel more, or start sporting.
But perhaps the best-laid plans are professional or financial – especially when you’re talking about the world of business.

Nowadays it’s becoming all the more feasible make a living from the comfort of your own home.
If your commercial rent is burning a serious hole in your pocket, it might be time to think about setting up shop at home.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a homeowner or a renter, (although, if you do want to make any physical adjustments to the property, it might be worth checking with the landlord first) you have the power to make your living space and your commercial space one big entity.
In this fast-paced hyper-connected digital world, communication has never been easier and due to the emergence of mobile devices, most people do their shopping, socialising or business online, meaning that for many, there’s less necessity to have a costly commercial space away from home.
