But if you’re looking around at your home office and thinking you don’t have enough room for your paperwork, products, and other accouterments important to your business, it might be time to move up in the world and get a new space that will fit your dreams.

The good news is: Your friendly, reliable, neighborhood realtor is on the case. Let’s take a look at some things for you to keep in mind as you’re looking for the perfect space for your growing small business:

When looking for a new home so you can increase the size of the space you devote to your business, keep in mind what you want out of your office. There are some considerations to make in order to get the most out of an office space. So, when you’re looking for your dream home to accommodate your burgeoning business, look for these things.
- -A space with a lot of natural light
- -Separate room so you can isolate yourself from family or distractions in order to get work done
- -Enough space for a large desk, ergonomic chair, or even a standing desk
With dedicated office space, it allows you to keep work at “work” (in your home office) and maintain a separate family life outside of that (which is essential for mental health, by the way).
FORM AN LLC

While you’re looking for a new home for your business, you should also look into forming a new limited liability company (LLC) as well. Giving your company the LLC designation carries certain benefits that could be appropriate for your business. These benefits include tax advantages, personal asset protection, and some tax deductions for owning and operating a small business.
In addition, you may be able to deduct your home office from your taxes if your business is registered as an LLC. For instance, Schedule C businesses can note the number of square feet taken up by their home office. Just make sure you check the regulations based on where you’re located, as different states have varying rules for qualifying for LLC formation. Online services can help when it’s time to file.
