Making Someone Else's Dream Come True Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comThose who seek a work from home business opportunity but don't have a burning idea or specific dream in mind might want to capitalize on someone else's proven dream. Franchising may be one possibility of doing this. The disadvantages of franchising may dissuade an entrepreneur from this choice. If her or his dream of a work from home business opportunity is the prospect of being her or his own boss, the restrictions placed on franchisee decisions by the franchisor may make the idea unattractive. There is another option, a way to have a work from home business opportunity but still have the security of a proven market and product or service. This is by buying an already established privately owned business. The key to making someone else's entrepreneurial success a profitable work from home business opportunity for a new small business owner is background research. The best place to start may be on the Internet at sites that advertise Businesses for Sale. You can also check out the local paper online or in print, or enlist the services of retailers. Keep in mind, however, that most businesses listed with realtors are going to be brick and mortar locations that won't fulfill a dream of a work from home business opportunity. A thorough review of the finances of any business that the entrepreneur is considering for purchase is a must. Income statements should be examined, as well as statements of cash flow and balance sheets. The potential buyer must keep in mind that liabilities are crucial, as typically she or he would inherit these debts when saying yes to the opportunity to buy this work from home business. An accountant who specializes in the particular industry would be a great deal of help with this part of the study of the various work from home business opportunities being considered. A business owner who is selling his or here work from home opportunity should supply potential buyers with a due diligence package. This should contain not only tax returns for prior years but any significant contractual obligations the business has entered into including property leases. Contractor or employee agreements should be a part of the package as well. Articles of incorporations and any lawsuit should be included. Anyone taking a serious look at a work from home business opportunity for sale should get the company's credit report before making a decision.

She had Designs on a Home Business Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comIt would seem that a lot of folks agree that the time is right for starting a home business. In fact, half of the 1.5 million businesses that launched in 2005 were home based, and two thirds of them were started by women. Many are starting a home business on a part time basis, while keeping their full time occupation until the home business can support them and their families. One flight attendant, for example, is a dressmaker part time. Starting a home business for her was the result not only of a love for fabric and creation but the uncertainty of the airline industry's future. She lives just outside New Orleans and specializes in Mardi Gras costumes and evening wear. Starting a home sewing business has been a dream since she was only 12 years old. Now 41, she honed her skills as an assistant to the costume designer for a local theatre group and then did some designing for a theme park near her home town. Once she decided on starting a home business as an avocation while working full time she turned her dining room into her sewing studio by dipping into her meager savings. She bought fabric, patterns, sewing cabinet, bobbins, thread and needles. Her first job was for a local fabric store and those folks spread the word about her new home business. The advantaged of starting a home business this part time way while still working was that she could refrain from drawing a salary, putting the business profit into equipment such as new sewing machines, industrial size steam irons, hemmers, and a commercial press and cutting table. She also brought her family on board, making her husband the company accountant and letting their four children help in whatever capacity their age and talents allowed. One year after starting her home business she is doing well enough to cut back on her flight attendant hours. It is her dream to run her home business full time eventually and is well on her way with ten regular clients. Now she carries a portable sewing machine with her on flights with layovers and sews when she can. For this entrepreneur starting a home business is truly a success story.

Newest Pyramids Not Nearly as Treasured Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comJust this past month South Africa announced the latest of its country's pyramid schemes. One of the local banks in Namibia put out a strenuous warning to illegal money makers who were running the new pyramid schemes. The bank called on the help of the public to aid in enforcing the country's law by reporting these pyramid schemes to the bank. The announcement also asked the country's leaders and other influential civilians to aid in teaching others the detrimental effects of these pyramid schemes on its victims, especially those who lived in poverty-ridden areas. The illegality of the pyramid banking schemes, according to the bank announcement, was a violation of its Banking Institutions Act's Section 5 which says that no one can receive, accept, advertise, take or solicit public deposits without being a registered banking institution. What makes these scams qualify as pyramid schemes is that the primary money making activity of them is the successful hiring of others to pay for the opportunity to join the pyramid. In investigating the work at home schemes, bank officers and other government officials found many of the perpetrators were from other neighboring countries. Some had been closed down in prior years but were beginning to crop back up again in newspaper ads. Some were direct marketed, though, while others were solicited face to face by those already in the pyramid scheme and trying to build their own pyramid under them to make their money. What the bank and the country officials determined is that people were making money in the pyramid schemes until and unless someone doesn't deposit the required money or recruit new people. Then the pyramid doesn't support everyone in it and begins to crumble. The bank blamed the success and prevalence of pyramid schemes in the country partly on its high unemployment rate. The consequence, unfortunately, they said, was to make poor people poorer and reward only the few that started the pyramid schemes in the first place. The fine in South Africa for pyramid schemes, besides financial penalty, is up to ten years in prison.

Winning at Web Work Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comAn online home business may seem to many the perfect solution for working at home and running their own business. For many it is. Make no mistake, however. An online home business is just as much work and perhaps even more than a brick and mortar storefront business. It takes as much forethought and as much business planning, though probably not nearly as much money. What can be frustrating about an online home business is learning the technical ins and outs of getting the business Web site set up, buying the right hardware and software, learning the jargon and finding the right people to keep it running when the owner often doesn't know what to even look for in a technical specialist. If someone is not a geek, though, but knows the basic of computer use and computer language and has a good idea with sound business planning, they can succeed in an online home business. According to extensive research the things that sell best on the Internet, and therefore good ideas for an online home business, are computers and computer-related products, books, travel and travel-related businesses, clothes, music, gifts and financial investments. Someone might start an online home business selling e-books, or print on demand books - especially in the areas of self-help or how to. They might sell consulting services, information about entertainment and local or regional getaways, or offer products in an online auctions. Another lucrative online home business is writing for the Web. Many manufacturers have ready made small ticket items that they offer for distributorships, and some even help the entrepreneur set up her or his Web site. Many even offer drop ship services so the start up home business owner doesn't need to go out and buy and extensive inventory when the online home business first launches. What's important to know about an online home business before an entrepreneur makes the decision to start one is the startup costs involved, how much labor and what type will need to go into it, the quality of the manufacturer's products if selling someone else's products, the competition the firm will be facing, the size of the market, how profitable it is likely to be, the product support that would be needed, the regulatory and licensing issues, the costs of such things are inventory, shipping, maintenance and repairs, the likelihood of repeat business and loyal customers and the potential for cross selling and upselling. The bottom line, of course, is that an online home business should be about doing and selling what the owner believes in and enjoys being a part of. That's what makes it rewarding.

Senior Services Sell Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comA good home business idea is one that has a strong market. It's doubtful, with baby boomers nearing retirement age, that there is any stronger market than the 50+ crowd of consumers. This decade there are 15 percent more seniors than the last and in 2010 that is likely to increase even more. Coming up with a home business idea that is attractive and useful to baby boomers and seniors and for whom the market hasn't been saturated is a sound business plan. For an entrepreneur who wants to focus on the truly elderly here are some home business ideas. Senior day care center not only helps the elderly but can be marketed to the middle aged and baby boomers that are tasked with caring for aged and infirm parents. This is a group that's really caught in the middle, with full time jobs, caring for elderly parents and often children still in the household. They're a great market for someone with a home business idea that helps save them money as well as time. It also offers social opportunities for the parents being cared for. While adult day care can be in a large commercial facility many of them are owned by sole proprietors who offer the center in their own home. There are two different levels of adult day care, and the home business idea is best for the social center. The other choice is a medical focused care center, where those who are bound to a wheelchair, are incontinent or need assistance with eating and bodily functions can be cared for. A typical home based adult day care center focuses on the idea of providing a safe and social environment for those who are higher functioning, though the caregiver should be prepared to dispense medications. Another home business idea that centers on seniors is a relocation service. Many of the tasks involved in moving, or even in making the twice yearly transition from the winter to the summer home or vice versa, become increasingly difficult with age. A relocation specialist can help sell a home, help select a moving company, help pack, load the truck or car, prepare for an manage the garage or estate sale, and even help unpack depending upon the geographic restrictions of the service. A related home business idea that might be lucrative as well would be to travel with the senior and drive the car. Many older folks no longer drive long distances, are uncomfortable with the higher highway speeds that exist now, and have lost their night vision. These are just a couple of the home business idea possibilities centered on seniors.

Starting a Profitable Home Business Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.com Starting a profitable home business does not have to be a struggle, though it often is for many people. If you want to make the best of any work-at-home opportunity, it might help you to follow a few simple steps. First, take stock of your interests, skills, and potential. No one can start a profitable business by sheer luck. You personally have to bring something to the table, so to speak. Your home business will ultimately take on the character that you give it - it will ultimately reflect who you are as a person. If you are disorganized, your business will be disorganized. If you lack focus, then your business will lack it as well. Before you even think if starting a profitable home business, you must first understand yourself and what you can offer. All of use have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is vital that you understand yours. Take your strengths and translate it to a competitive advantage; take your weaknesses and eliminate them. (Or at the very least, downplay them.) If, for example, you are an excellent salesperson, you might want to take the lead in selling your own products. If, however, you have poor sales skills, you might want to leave that area to someone else. Similarly, if you are good with numbers, you can do your own business accounting, but if you're not, it might be better to hire an accountant. Take advantage of what you can do well, and leave others to do the things that you are poorer at. Second, understand exactly what it is that you are offering to the market. In other words, understand your business. Know it inside and out. You can't expect to have a profitable home business if you are playing catch-up the entire time. Do everything you have to in order to be up-to-date. Read up on all the trade publications, magazines, etc. Observe, even interview your competitors. Find out what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. Obviously, you should strive to imitate what they do well, and avoid their mistakes. Generate ideas through any means possible - they will keep you ahead. Lastly, understand the market itself. Who exactly are you selling to? Remember that you cannot hope to sell everything to everyone. You need to specify exactly who you will be dealing with, then exert all efforts to reach that market better. If you are looking to reach the youth demographic, then obviously you will use advertising methods that will draw them. That, however, will not help you reach senior citizens. In other words, you have to choose. Starting a profitable home business does not have to be difficult. By thinking it through before you jump in, you will maximize the chances for success.

We've Got to Start Meeting Like This Dwayne Armstrong http://www.CanuckHomeBiz.comRunning a small home business, unless it's a totally Internet business, at some point in time may mean meeting with a local client. Even if the entrepreneur works all over the globe clients or vendors or others involved in the firm in some way or another may find themselves in town and just want to meet face to face with the entrepreneur they've talked to by phone and e-mail. This is something that can be very beneficial for future business dealings and may lead to referrals for the small home business. The question, though, is where to meet with this client or business associate - surely not the small home business location. Here are some options. The least costly place would be the library. And while we tend to think of the library as a place where you must whisper that's no longer the case. They often have meeting rooms, quiet corners with comfy chairs away from the crowd, and many even have business centers with copy machines, wifi and fax. This is a great alternative for a small home business owner on a limited budget. Another alternative is a coffee shop or McDonalds. McDonalds is now in the midst of a national wifi installation. Starbucks, Borders or Barnes & Noble all offer coffee and a quiet comfortable place to talk. There may be a local telework center as well, which can be rented by the hour, day, week or month, with conference room, phones, fax, copy machine, and computers. Firms such as HQ Global Workplace offer office space, videoconferencing, postal services, phone, computer and computer access, and even receptionist. These can be rented for an hour, an afternoon, a day, a week or month to month. Many have catering services for an additional cost in case of a large meeting. While it's a little more difficult to find a telework center the best place to inquire is of the local college. Major cities are bound to have them. Telework centers are plentiful for small home business owners in the Washington DC metropolitan area of Maryland and Virginia. While most small home business owners want to present themselves at first as one of the big guys, a client that is dropping in to finally meet the entrepreneur he or she has talked to so often will probably be pleased to learn of the small home business. The entrepreneur might well be surprised to find how admitting that the office location is the home location might open the door to some very interesting conversations, such as "I wish I could do that," or surprisingly often, "Oh, yes, I work from home too."
