Here are a couple of common reasons why people who run their businesses from their homes choose to hire meeting rooms for their business meetings.
It eliminates privacy-related issues
One challenge that many at-home business owners experience is trying to maintain their privacy and their family's privacy when they need to have in-person meetings with vendors or clients in their residential office spaces. Having meetings in their home can mean that, for example, their family members cannot have private conversations near the business owner's at-home office whilst meetings are taking place, in case those attending the meetings overhear them and can also mean that these household members don't feel comfortable wandering through their home in their pyjamas when their business-owning family member is hosting an early-morning meeting. Those who attend these meetings might also have privacy concerns if they need to discuss sensitive business matters and they know that there are lots of other people milling around the house in which the meeting is being held.
This is why many business owners in these circumstances often decide to rent meeting rooms, via real estate agents. By having their in-person meetings somewhere other than their home, not only will the people who come to these meetings be able to speak more freely about confidential subjects without worrying that they'll be overheard but the business owner's other household members can also feel more relaxed in their own home as they don't need to worry about having to whisper when there are meetings taking place or need to be concerned that they'll unexpectedly bump into a stranger in their home.
It can serve as an easier location for everyone to get to
For business owners who live in rural locations that are a long drive from the nearest city or are not close to train stations, it can often be difficult for their clients or vendors who need to meet them to reach their home by car or by public transport. Because of this, these professionals sometimes decide to hire meeting rooms, as the commercial buildings in which these rooms are usually found tend to be centrally located in cities and towns.
In these circumstances, if a business owner rents a meeting room, not only will they not be putting those they've invited to this meeting in the awkward position of having to drive or be on public transport for hours, but they can also reduce the likelihood of one or more of these people being unable to attend due to their home's inconvenient location.
