Client home-office visitsQuestion Should I let clients or prospects come to my home office?
Answer It depends on the client. There are still some people who would not feel comfortable sitting in your home in the middle of the say talking business. Preceed with caution.
Also, it is possible that some community or sudbidivision covenants have restrictions on the comings and goings of a home office. Other than that, absolutely. The next question: is your home office ready for visitors? - Are you located in a section of town that is easy to find? - Is your house presentable? Inside and out? - A separate entrance is ideal. If not, can you make some modifications? If the critical evaluation of your office doesn't make you excited about inviting a client over, consider availing yourself of the services of an executive suite service where you can rent an office-away-from-office in their facilities, like renting their conference room for a period.
