One of the biggest advantages of a home-based business is the financial benefits it provides. A home-based business allows you to eliminate the cost of an office, a major expense for most small businesses. Also, most home based business owners are eligible for a partial write-off of their house payment, utilities, and maintenance costs. Flexibility and Freedom. Let's face it.
Work takes up a lot of our lives.
Because of this, more and more women want the flexibility and freedom associated with owning a small business. One of the greatest challenges of working from home is to set definite boundaries between work and family obligations. Friends and family members may have a difficult time adjusting to the fact that you have to work while you are home. Remember, this is a transition period for them, too. As long as you are straight-forward about your expectations, you should be able to eliminate most of the conflicts before they occur.
