SOHOcomputing advice and consulting

• Keep your data safe.
• Stay up and running.
• Be efficient.

We will assume that you already have a business and competence in that area. If not, our advice is simple: flying blind into SOHO is an act of desperation. Sure, there are articles out there with titles like: High Profits With Small Office* but SOHO is a means not an end. Do not fly SOHO without meaningful competence in the area you are going into. Most of our advice here (except for the section on philosophy of SOHO) is about means not ends.
