Home office small office

Home Offices


Small office/home office (or single office/home office; SOHO) refers to the category of business or cottage industry that involves from 1 to 10 workers.
Beginning in the mid-1980s, the advent of the personal computer and fax machine, plus breakthroughs in telecommunications, created opportunities for office workers to decentralize. Decentralization was also perceived as benefiting employers in terms of potentially greater productivity and other qualities Many consultants and the members of such professions as lawyers, real estate agents, and surveyors in small and medium-size towns operate from home offices. Several ranges of products, such as the armoire desk and all-in-one printer, are designed specifically for the SOHO market. A number of books and magazines have been published and marketed specifically at this type of office.
The small office home office has passed through a transformation since its advent as the internet has enabled anyone working from a home office to compete globally. Due to the increase in small and home offices, web services and standard business software have been created to directly assist smaller businesses in standard business practice.
In the US, a home office can be claimed as a tax deduction only if office space and supplies are not provided by a corporate office.
