How To Start a Home Based Business The Easy Way. Every 8-11 seconds someone starts a home based Business, is a statistic I've seen referenced a number of times. The reasons people are starting home businesses at such a staggering rate vary just as much as the businesses they are starting.
If your someone who is think about starting a business and is having difficulty getting started, then this article could help you move closer to starting that business.
Starting a home business or small business is really quite simple today. Without knowing what type of business your starting I can't offer specific instruction , but, I can give you a few pointers.
I will start with these top three points.....
Start By:
Get a DBA (doing business as) From your county clerk. (Cost $10)
Decide how you will get your first clients/customers. (advertising/marketing)
Have a basic process to serve you customer from start to finish. (sales,quote,service,billing)
Obviously I am assuming at this point that you already know what business it is that you want to start. Remember, you have to be able to turn a profit. Regardless of how good you think your idea is, you still have to turn profit. So what really matters is what your customer thinks of the idea and if they are willing to pay enough that you will realise a profit.
Most people seem to enter the small business world with a " I can do it better" attitude. This puts them in the position of competing with already existing businesses, perhaps the one they used to work for. This is not always the best place to begin.
The "how" of starting a business is, by the way, the easy part. It is also not what usually keeps a new entrepreneur stuck in their path to start a business. Some businesses require licensing, insurances and other things of that nature to get going. You have local resources to help you with that. Call your insurance agent, the chamber of commerce, and just go talk to any business owner, they will be happy to answer these beginning questions.
I started a business when I was in my early twenties. It seems I was always dealing with a few unknowns as that business continued to grow. You should be prepared for this. Don't worry about not knowing everything you think you need to know. There is not an entrepreneur who ever does.
More and more people are starting a home based business these days because of the ease of getting starting. A home based business will require much, much less capital to get going and there are usually not a bunch of ongoing fees. Franchise businesses are also popular, as they also provide a manual or instructions for operating the business successfully. The cost for a franchise start up is much higher than a home based business, but many times people find comfort in the "franchise brand".
