Running a Business from Home

Are you launching a home business with your spouse? Here are a few things to consider as you get established.

• Decide how to structure your home business. Will your spouse be a business partner, employee, or co-owner? Think about tax and insurance pros verse cons.
• If you own a sole proprietorship or partnership, consider forming an LLC. This resource is pretty helpful and explains the steps you’ll need to follow.
• Talk to your partner about establishing a work-from-home schedule that aligns with both of your needs.

Try Different Office Arrangements

Whether you share a workspace or work in separate areas of your tiny home is entirely dependent on your individual needs. Consider trying different arrangements until you arrive at a home office design that works best for both of you!

• Try out different two-person desk layouts for small spaces.

• Choose an ergonomic office chair that fits your individual dimensions.

Design Your Office for Optimal Productivity

Work with your partner to design your workspace for maximum productivity. Be prepared to compromise as you come up with an organizational and aesthetic solution that works for both of you.
