Rural business idea: renting wilderness offices

Working where you have a view of nature makes you more productive.

There’s a business idea in that. One company is creating and renting out tiny offices in natural settings. They’re all decked out with wifi and their own solar power. So far, it’s only in Europe.

Sounds like a winner for a small town business anywhere. Set up your own tiny trailers, well-designed, appealing, with power and wifi. Take them out to rural locations around you, in cooperation with land owners. Maybe have a series of different rural locations you rotate them to.

Promote it online, especially to urban folks looking for a retreat.

Set up larger trailers for team getaways and focused working retreats.
