Home Business – Be your own boss and don’t even leave the house.
These days there are an increasing number of businesses being run from home. Due to the huge boom in e-commerce and mail order, people wanting to run a small business find it increasingly practical to do so from the comfort of their own home.
Picture a person who has a talent for sewing and a good eye for design. They might be put off the idea of trying to turn their skill into a business because of the cost of renting a building and the worries of choosing a location where their skills are in demand. Instead, this person can start a home business. All they need is the raw materials to turn their sewing skill into a product (handbags, clothing, whatever they prefer) and a way to advertise the business, usually a website. Now they can advertise their designs online, receive orders, make the items and deliver them to the customer by mail order.
Home businesses cut a lot of costs but there are also disadvantages. It is important to check several things, which can be found on government and business related websites. You should check that your mortgage or tenancy agreement does not prohibit running a business. You should confer with your insurance company in case you need to pay more insurance. If you need to make structural changes then you will need to speak to planning permission department of your local government, and health and safety usually need to be consulted. The rooms you use may be charged business tax rates. Lastly, a home business can cause problems with domestic life and is not a choice taken lightly.
A home business is still a great way to start up a small business that can always grow larger in the future. Start up costs are drastically reduced, as is time to start up. You are not tied into any agreements with property agents. You can set your own working times to allow more family time, and of course you can get help from your family if they want to chip in with production or administration. Best of all, you don’t need to travel to work!
