Typically they don't allow two separate cable modems at one address. You could get the office wired up with coax and use a MoCA adapter instead. MoCA is an alternate hardwired way to connect devices to a home network if ethernet cabling can not be used/run. It uses the existing coax cable wiring instead of ethernet cabling. You can Google MoCA for more info.

Be advised that the Comcast techs do not do any wall fishing of coax cables (hiding cables internally behind walls). If you want that you will need to hire a local low-voltage electrician, or a company like Hello Tech with which they partner: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/hellotech-overview  Comcast will only run coax cable outside and drill a hole through an external wall for the office if there is one. Good luck !
