Jennifer Embry's Story

For over a decade, I have been a home-based business owner, stay-at-home mom, and entrepreneur. During this time, I have had to hold meetings, interviews, and potential clients in various places from Starbucks to hotel lobbies. The overhead of having a brick and mortar, not to mention the time and cost of commute was too expensive and just did not make logical sense for me.

There are 2.5 million small businesses in Florida, with Covid-19 the number of home-based small businesses exploded as many had to leave their office spaces and work from home. In 2020, the number of entrepreneurs increased exponentially as well. This professional community deserves a professional space.

I have always wanted a beautiful office and reception for myself but couldn’t take the time and numbers make sense. When the world began to re-open, I noticed that there were so many people like me. Just like me, these professionals needed a professional business address to call home.

That’s when I decided to create The Enrich Mint, a shared space, that shares the expenses and creates a professional safe working/meeting environment for hosting clients outside of the home. It has helped me to truly separate business from personal and focus more on a productive creative space.
