Small businesses: have you given up the office permanently?

Posted on Jun 17, 2021

After the pandemic hit, the proportion of people working from home in the UK more than doubled.

We’d like to hear from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who have shifted to remote-working from home and are now planning to ditch the office for good.

Are you a business owner who used to have a company office but is now working entirely from home and plan to do so permanently? Or did you make the switch temporarily because of the pandemic and are now considering operating entirely remotely for good?

And if so, what is motivating your decision? And what are the benefits and downsides? How have your employees reacted?
