For a lot of people, working from home is a dream situation: you can mind children, avoid a tedious commute, get housework done in your breaks and even wear your pyjamas all day long.

But while a lot of companies now offer flexible working arrangements, working exclusively from home can be a difficult sell to a new employer.

However, that’s not the case for these 25 businesses.

According to analysis by flexible job seeker service FlexJobs, these companies are offering more remote-friendly positions than others, meaning job openings are for either 100 per cent, partial or optional remote work.

While the majority of companies have headquarters, some like computer programs company, Appen, are headquartered in Australia, while others are headquartered in India, the Netherlands and Sweden.
