The more surprising research less often quoted is the number of home based businesses or small office/home offices (SAHOs) we have in Australia. According to the ABS, 67% of all small businesses in Australia are home based businesses. That's around 856,000 businesses. The biggest growth is in new businesses operating for less than one year. What is also interesting is the number of home - based businesses that are employing people. .69% are non empolying .28% employ 1-4 people .3% employ 5-19 people This activity in the suburbs has not been lost on Australia's property developers, who are adding a dedicated study to their house and development design.
