When it was just me I worked from a home office. There are pluses and minuses to that. Plus: cheap, easy access, go days without having to leave the house (very nice during the winter). Minus: some companies won't do business with one dude working out of a home office. At that stage there were two projects I didn't land for this very reason.
In my case, basically, the workload got to a point that it was either a) start turning down jobs; b) grow the company.
I choose to grow the company so I purchased and renovated a building. It was a lot of work, but very much worth it. Adding staff and having a physical presence in the community has definitely increased the flow work.
Another route: One of my friends works for a company where everyone telecommutes. No office space needed.
