Two things: not every place has access to excellent broadband and the legal and accounting issues for a distributed workforce can be significant, depending on where your home office is located. It could, for example, for you to pay taxes in that state and account for any sales the remote employee had a hand in. It's not too complex, but it requires a lot of attention to detail. It drives my HR and accounting department up the wall sometimes, too. We had to pay for the healthcare for an ex-wife of an employee in one state, because that state mandates it. (Yes, MA.) Lots of little things that are hard to run down, and can be surprising once you find out.
