Anchored Tiny Office

Anchored Tiny Homes is a Sacramento, CA company with over 30 years of construction experience. Family owned, they expanded to build tiny offices in April after the pandemic outbreak created a need for WFH spaces. Their Tiny Offices come in three sizes and with their affordable pricing and zero down financing, you can have a home office for as little as $199 a month. For entrepreneurs, that is far more affordable than leasing office space.

Each office comes with a keypad door lock, skylight and air conditioning, but plumbing can be added if needed. Each Tiny Office is certified as an RV, comes on wheels ready to go and costs approx. $40,000.

INshed Home Office

Elgin, IL based INshed didn't start making tiny offices until June, spurred by an explosion of demand since the covid-19 pandemic. Since then they have been busy expanding the customer options.
