Today’s FedEx top tip: Estimate the cost for an office or retail space

In this modern age, you can set up and run your business from practically anywhere – an office, shop or your garden shed.

Depending on your business, consider shared office space. As its name suggests, this involves sharing a space with other businesses and the associated costs. This method provides an opportunity to collaborate with other companies, opening the floor to additional creative ideas. Another area that is becoming more popular is home businesses. Modern technology means your business does not need to be based in an office and can be as equally connected to its customers.

Customer engagement is important, so locating your business near them can help boost its growth.

If your business is consumer-facing, it could benefit from the flexibility of remote working. For example, consider hiring a van and travelling around the UK’s various festivals and markets.

However, remember to have a presence online, including social media, so your customer’s can continue to place orders.
