Get ahead – shed the shed!

Richard Morris, CEO UK, Evans

We are currently in the midst of a make-it-yourself boom.  Artisan bakers here, craft brewers there, hit TV shows for baking, pottery and sewing .You name it, the UK is making it.

So what happens when your hobby takes-off and you start to see a business opportunity? How can you make the move from keen amateur to savvy entrepreneur without breaking the bank?  The answer lies in the growing number of flexible workspace options that can be found up and down the country. Far from being suitable only for 9-5 professionals, these spaces are increasingly being adapted to service the requirements of today’s budding artisans.

The advantages of such spaces are numerous.  For a start, space can be hired on an as required basis – no lengthy leases, no commitment to sites that are far too big for current needs. In turn, the type of space can be found to suit your business model.  So, makers such as potters or blacksmiths can find spaces that are geared towards production and efficient operation – plenty of storage, easy to clean, safe and secure. Or, makers such as artists or designers may want something with a little more comfort – ergonomic seating, fast web connection, refreshments on tap.

The point is, the flexible workplace boom that is currently having a major influence on how companies big and small locate their staff is not restricted to typical white-collar industries. Anybody with a decent business plan can immediately make the leap from cramped shed or kitchen desk to a professional space, without a daunting and expensive long-term commitment.

Indeed, flexible workspace even extends beyond buildings to the available hire of land.  This greenspace is perfect for those wanting to ramp-up organic crop production or find a home for livestock, for example.  The options are

endless.

The return to crafting and making is fuelling many start-up businesses. Where once the garden shed might have served as the drafty home of entrepreneurism, now tailor-made workspace  is nearby and just a phone-call away.  Save the shed for storage – let your business blossom flexibly and professionally.
