One in four U.S. small businesses with employees works out of the business owner’s home.This information comes from a 2004 poll by the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
Note that we’re talking here about small businesses with employees, not single-person small businesses. That’s the surprising part.
Virtually all of the businesses operating out of the owner’s home are very small — fewer than 10 employees. For years I’ve heard about small business owners who have employees working out of their homes. Still, I wouldn’t have guessed the number doing it was so high.
In her post on Small Business Trends, Anita explores some of the implications of this trend.
