Full Fibre for Running a Business from Home

Running a business from home is the dream for many people in today’s economy. The combination of being your boss and working remotely are just some of the more rewarding aspects of going all-in on your remote business ideas. However, it’s vital to have the best connectivity possible, whether putting more emphasis on your side hustle or committing to a full-time remote business. 

‍

Can you run a business from home without business broadband?

‍

In the past, probably not, but now there are home broadband options that can easily sustain a small business. Full-fibre broadband is the best way to achieve reliable connectivity and speeds without paying for a full-scale business broadband plan. 

‍

This blog will expand on why full fibre is so useful when running a business from home, touching on a few different industries that can be approached remotely. 

‍

The need for speed (& performance)

When starting a business from home, you need fast internet speeds. It doesn’t matter if you’re selling vintage clothing on a third-party app or working as a freelance copywriter, good speeds will ensure you can attend to a variety of tasks quickly. Good broadband speeds support tasks such as: 

‍

• Downloading client briefs or information packets
• Transferring large files or finished projects to clients
• Maintaining smoothness of communication in video calls and meetings
• Upholding the quality and performance of digital phone lines
• Using shared cloud spaces with clients or employees
• Document management on online systems like Google Drive
• Consistently responding to customer feedback

‍

Full fibre broadband is essential for the best remote businesses, offering speeds of up to 1,000mbps, along with ensuring operations are never interrupted by weather conditions or local traffic. 

‍

Additional considerations 

Setting up a business from home doesn’t necessarily mean investing in a wide array of business resources, however, even with full fibre there are significant considerations to be made. 

‍

• How much of your business actually takes place online
• How many people you have to share your connectivity with in the house
• What downtime would mean for your business
• The connectivity of any staff or partners also working remotely
• The degree to which you plan on scaling the business up over the years

‍

These considerations will make it easier for you to identify the best deal for running a business from home.
