It’s good news for many would-be business owners to learn that, through good planning, communication, and outside technical support when needed, you can run a small business out of virtual offices with great success. Small businesses considering opening virtual offices may need to also factor in a number of legal issues, particularly if it is decided that employees will work from home.

If you plan on operating your virtual offices through homes, you likely should look into zoning laws or ordinances for any affected residential areas. Are they in an area zoned for business? What type of business can you operate from your home? Check out your local zoning ordinances to make sure you don’t have to get any special permits or licensing, or have any restrictions on what you can do from your home.

If you want to claim your virtual offices on your taxes as a home office, the Internal Revenue Service has tightened the restrictions to the point that you can’t use that space for anything other than your work. For example, if you’re working from a table in your breakfast nook then you may not be able to claim a home office deduction. There are some exceptions, so we strongly recommend consulting your tax accountant or attorney for your exact situation.

Virtual Offices Tip: With access to virtual offices, you can get the necessities for your business that you thought were out of your financial reach.
