Working From Home: Pros and Cons

Business Owners , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

Well, here you find me writing on my blog at 3am, this is what happens when you’re laid up in bed and unable to move due to muscle contractions, add a beautiful cocktail of drugs to help manage the horrible pain and to help you sleep and it is a recipe for disaster for insomniacs like myself. At least I can make the most of this time that I’m now wide-awake to do something productive (please don’t expect me to be available tomorrow at 9am!)

In Spain, registering as self-employed can be a minefield, a procedure full of set-up and on-going costs that many do not appreciate during the initial stages of development so it is only natural to find ways to reduce costs, at least at the beginning. One way many choose to do so is by working from home and while this may be a logical step, it also has its own pros and cons to consider.
