The Joys & Benefits
of Home
Based Business
In
the current economic climate of constant downsizing, a noticeable
movement towards homebased businesses is sweeping the nation. As more
and more workers continue to be thrown into an already over-crowded
and hostile job market, increasing numbers of individuals are looking
at establishing businesses of their own to create income and security
for themselves.
Home
based businesses have emerged as a definite trend in the area of new
business starts. In fact, since 1989, the number of homebased
businesses in the US and Canada has increased by more than an
astounding 50% and experts predict that the next ten years will see
even more dramatic increases. Homebased businesses are currently the
most rapidly growing segment of the American and Canadian economies,
reports the Homebased Business Network, an association for homebased
business owners.
The
homebased business concept is gaining popularity in rural areas and
small communities, too, where fewer job opportunities are available.
As
well, many parents with young families are looking to homebased
businesses as a viable way to juggle staying at home with the
children without sacrificing income.
Gone
is the concept of the homebased business as a "hobby
business". A great deal of very serious, highly respected and
legitimate business is now done by homebased businesses. In fact,
figures for the U.S. show that a whopping $427 billion in revenues
are generated annually by homebased businesses.
Working
from home offers numerous advantages, which include zero commuting
time or transportation costs, optimum time management and
flexibility, the ability to stay home with young children, a variety
of tax benefits and, of course, the convenience of being able to earn
a living without leaving the comfort of home.
Many
homebased businesses can be operated on either a full or part time
basis. Even if you are currently employed it is completely feasible
to operate a homebased business on a part time basis for extra
income, and then convert it to full time as it grows.
Homebased
businesses are typically relatively easy and inexpensive to start,
making the goal of owning a business attainable for anyone with a
good idea and a little know-how. The goal of Leader Publishing &
Information Services is to provide that know-how. Because of the low
overhead involved with operating a business from home, risk is
minimized and profitability can be realized far more quickly than in
businesses of other forms.
Leader

individuals in successfully starting businesses of their own in a
variety of creative fields.
