Dallas Executive Office Suites attracting distracted home workers

"I found myself talking to Oprah," Merrifield says. "It was too easy to watch TV. To me, being at home wasn't conducive to good business."

Others like Merrifield have returned to an office environment, often renting an executive suite.

For Merrifield, having an executive suite allowed him to finish his work faster without the temptations for interruptions in his home.

Eventually he became manager of the executive suite company and is currently local director of the Executive Suite Association, an international trade group that works as a network for executive suite companies and information center for prospective clients.

Angie Pahde, state director of ESA and owner of A Suite Solution, says it is a trend for those who have tried working at home to move back into an office.

"Of all of the people who have come in and rented a suite, 25 percent to 30 percent have been home officers," Pahde says. "The remainder are downsizing or people who want to expand sales offices."

Clients ranging from entrepreneurs and retirees to owners of large and small companies pay from $250 to about $700 per month, Pahde says.

"A lot of the people renting executive suites are with companies downsizing and a lot are entrepreneurs who realize home officing did not work," Pahde says. "One or two clients who have gone home at the request of their company have come back."

Having an answering machine at home was just not a good way to do business, says Warren Badgely, a single parent and employee for a Virginia-based software company. He's among those who have decided to move back to an office.

"Most of my business operation was working out of my home," Badgely says. "There are obvious advantages to working out of the home but we needed a proper business face. To get other contracts we needed a business environment."

With the demand increasing for individual offices, suite companies are popping up in the suburbs, says Debbie Kay, center manager for Town & Country Business Service Inc., an executive suites company located near Beltway 8 and Interstate 10.

"We get a lot of people who are working out of their homes and want to get out of there because they're not getting work done," Kay says. "People used to have the goal of working out of their homes. In the last two to three years the trend has been the opposite. Now they are finding it more cost-effective to work out of a suite. People can now work three or four miles from their house and have a business atmosphere but not deal with the traffic."

Most of Kay's clients are from Katy or outside of the Galleria area.

A growing service is provided through executive suites companies" business identity programs, according to Merrifield, who manages Fountainview Business Center.

Business identity programs enable people to work from their homes but use the business address of the suite for mail, telephone use, and conference rooms for a fee less than the standard rent per month.

"We started a business identity program and got 17 clients one month," Merrifield says. "After using the program many clients decide to rent an office."
