Offices in rural areas help with cost of living crisis
Feb 21, 2023

Benefits to an out of town office

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of companies choosing to establish their offices in rural areas. While the majority of businesses still prefer to set up shop in urban centers, there are numerous benefits to be gained from locating your office in a more rural setting.Lower Cost of Living One of the biggest advantages of having a rural office is that it often results in lower overhead costs. The cost of rent or property prices is usually lower in rural areas than in urban centers, which translates to lower expenses for the company. Additionally, employees who live in rural areas may have a lower cost of living, which could result in them requiring a lower salary.


  1. Less Congestion and Stress Another significant advantage of rural offices is that they tend to be less crowded and less stressful than their urban counterparts. There is less traffic, less noise, and fewer crowds, which can lead to a more relaxed and productive work environment. Employees who work in rural offices are also less likely to experience long commutes, which can be a major source of stress.
  2. Improved Quality of Life For employees who prefer the slower pace and greater connection to nature that rural areas offer, a rural office can provide an improved quality of life. Access to fresh air, green spaces, and natural landscapes can help reduce stress levels, promote mental well-being, and improve overall physical health.
  3. Stronger Sense of Community Rural areas often have close-knit communities where people are more likely to know and support one another. This can create a stronger sense of community within the workplace, resulting in improved morale and a greater sense of camaraderie among employees.
  4. Access to Skilled Workers Despite the perception that rural areas lack skilled workers, the truth is that many rural areas are home to highly educated and skilled workers. These workers may have chosen to live in a rural area for a better quality of life or to be closer to family, and may be more than willing to work for a company that is located closer to home.


In conclusion, there are many benefits to establishing a rural office. From lower overhead costs to a more relaxed and productive work environment, there are many reasons why companies should consider setting up their operations in a rural area. By doing so, they can tap into a highly skilled workforce while also providing employees with a better quality of life.
