Watching Nik Wallenda cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope the width of 3 pennies makes one reflect on the challenges of running your own business and the risks that are involved.

Many of the people who rent office space Toronto are entrepreneurs who have built their business from the ground up and have shouldered the risks of starting a business on their own, without a safety net. Not having a safety net does not mean they have not taken precautions to be safer.

When asked if being an entrepreneur is like walking a tightrope across Niagara Falls, one Telsec office space client smiled and said “I wish I had the safety harness in my business”.
