Many people dream of owning a business, but most can not come up with the money to get it started up. Either this or they do not have the experience or knowledge it takes. Thankfully, with all of the technological advances in the world, the doors have opened up and almost anyone can start their own business from their home on the Internet. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of starting up a home based small business:
Advantages
A home based small business on the Internet can be started for less than $100. As it is online, you don’t have to worry about investing money into a location or office.
Your business can be run from home, meaning you do not need to spend time commuting to work. This also means saving money on gasoline.
You get to work the hours that work best for you and your lifestyle. Want to work all night long? It is your choice.
When you start a business from your home, you may be eligible for some extra tax benefits.
Disadvantages
A home based small business requires you to have a quiet space to work. This may be difficult if you live in a small apartment or own a small home.
Working with distractions from others living with you can make it very difficult to get the work done.
Starting your own business in your home can be very stressful, as most of your time will be spent in one place, when working or not working.
Working from home can get very lonely and you will find the loneliness may be too much to take.
Both the advantages and disadvantages must be considered when you are contemplating starting a business from home. While it is certainly the best option for many people, others will find that a more traditional type of business is better for them.
