To save bucks in today’s rocky economy, many small-business owners are abandoning their downtown offices and setting up shop in their homes, according to a recent Associated Press article. This not only allows them to avoid rent payments, but also transportation costs, parking, eating out, insurance, and other nickel-and-dime expenses that add up.
Of course, at Microsoft Office Live Small Business we also know that preserving cash is important when getting your business off the ground. That’s why we give you a free Web site and other great online marketing and business tools. With a home-based office and Office Live Small Business subscription, your monthly overhead costs could come in lower than your monthly parking fees downtown.
