On top of the salary you\u2019re going to pay yourself each month, you\u2019re going to have to find the money for rent.<\/p>\n<p>If you have your heart set on office space, you could make it your first business goal to hit a certain level of earnings so you can invest in that dream space!<\/p>\n<h3><b>You won\u2019t need to drain your savings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been saving up to leave your current job and go it alone, then you\u2019ve created a great safety net.<\/p>\n<p>By working at home you won\u2019t see that safety net completely disappear before you\u2019ve even had a chance to get your business established.<\/p>\n<p>Keep hold of your resources wherever possible, as not only does it help your business, but it also reduces a little of the pressure on your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>There are other ways to hold on to your savings when you get started, such as recruitment financing &#8211; you can learn more about that <a href=\"\/recruitment-finance\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><b>You can hit the ground running<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Another great benefit of starting your business from home is that you can get going right away!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"\/blog\/is-it-time-to-start-my-own-recruitment-agency\/\">leaving a large recruitment agency and setting up on your own<\/a>, then you can simply set up a desk wherever you have space and get to work.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have the hassle of ordering furniture or sorting all those unexpected IT issues. It\u2019s just you and your laptop and you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<h3><b>You can reclaim certain costs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>As part of your tax return you\u2019re able to reclaim certain costs if you work from home.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the cost of running your home, is now the cost of running your business. For example, you\u2019ll likely see an increase in your electricity bill if you don\u2019t typically work from home!<\/p>\n<p>Dependent on whether you establish yourself as a limited company or a sole trader, you\u2019ll also be able to reclaim costs of any furniture or technology you need to purchase.<\/p>\n<h3><b>You can offer flexibility to your candidates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Without being fixed to an office you can offer real flexibility to your candidates. Rather than having potential candidates come and visit you, you can travel to wherever works for them.<\/p>\n<p>This could be a coffee shop for example, that provides you with a more informal way to get to know each other. Alternatively it might simply mean jumping on a Zoom call when it\u2019s convenient.<\/p>\n<p>You could even make use of hot desking office space that is available in many towns and cities, so your office could end up being a different place every day.<\/p>\n<p>Some recruiters can worry that without office space they won\u2019t be taken seriously. Yet by demonstrating your experience, clients and candidates won\u2019t care where you work!<\/p>\n<h3><b>You can enjoy a better work\/life balance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Becoming your own boss is a great feeling, and though there is pressure, there are also lots of perks!<\/p>\n<p>You can decide when and how you work, and there\u2019s no better way to do that than by working from home.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to start early and have a head-down morning, that\u2019s fine! If you to pick up the kids from school or have a session at the gym during the day that\u2019s ok, too. You\u2019re the boss!<\/p>\n<p>Of course you have to be disciplined, or that work\/life balance can quickly evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>If you currently work in the recruitment industry you\u2019ll be no stranger to long hours. However with no clear distinction between work and home the lines can become blurred.<\/p>\n<p>Consider setting up a separate space that you can shut off or hide away when you\u2019re trying to relax. This will help you keep some separation between your home life and your work life.<\/p>\n<h3><b>It reduces the risk<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Every point we\u2019ve made here is essentially about reducing the risk for your new business. Starting your own company isn\u2019t easy, and recruitment, though an exciting sector, is also a really competitive one.<\/p>\n<p>By starting your own recruitment agency from home, you\u2019re giving yourself the best possible chance of success.<\/p>\n<p>Here at New Millennia we\u2019ve been working with startup recruitment agencies for over 20 years, so if you need advice we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n<p>We can offer 100% recruitment financing and <a href=\"\/recruitment-back-office\/\">back office functions<\/a>, to keep your business running smoothly.
