Hello from NJ,

Looking to launch in a few weeks, debating on weather to do this at home or rent out office space to avoid distractions.

My service will more or less cater to International Clients for taking messages when they are out of the office, will only do this for a couple of hrs, my time the calls will then go to automated svc. Spoke with clients, they are just waiting for me to set up my site and account.

Just want to make sure all my i's are dotted and t's are crossed (so to speak).

Any guidance will be appreciated greatly!!

Having a group to confer with is a great help.

Anybody from or near me? I'm in Irvington, NJ!!

I can't help with pointers since I don't answer my phone - ever. Be sure and look around, though, as I'm sure there are lots of folks on VAF who CAN assist!

Congratulations to you. If you are looking to have an outside office you may want to check in your area for established business offices that have additional space to rent out. This will certainly save you money as opposed to leasing a complete space.

If you do decide to work from home you will need to look at all the distractions: dog barking, lawns being moved, etc. and not just those in your own home or within yourself.
