The modern concept of Small Office and Home Office or SOHO,deals with the category of business which can be from 1 to 10 workers.Larger business enterprises,one notch up the size scale,are often categorized as a small business.When a company reaches 100 or more employees,it is often referred to as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise.
Before the 19th century,and the spread of the industrial revolution around the globe,nearly all offices were small offices and/or home offices,with only a few exceptions.Most businesses were small,and so was the paperwork that went with them.
The industrial revolution aggregated workers in factories,to mass produce goods.For the most part,the so-called "white collar" counterpart— office work— was aggregated as well,in large buildings,usually in cities or densely populated suburban areas.
Technology has also created a demand for larger businesses to employ individuals who work from home.Sometimes these people remain as an independent businessperson,and sometimes they actually become employees of a larger company.
The small office home office has gone through a great transformation recently since technology has enabled anyone working from a home office to compete globally.Technology has made this possible through webinar systems and telephone connections through Skype and the like.The Virtual Office concept has been expanded to enable anyone to do globally what they could do locally before.With a global reach through the use of technology the SOHO now has a better chance of emerging as a greater challenge in the world marketplace.
