Most home-based businesses begin with an idea based on the interests, talents, contacts, expertise, and experiences of the individual who starts the business. The business can be product-based, service-based, or a combination of both. If you do not already know what type of business you are going to start, consider the following as guidelines:
Turn something you enjoy doing, such as a hobby, into a business. (Examples: sewing, gardening, child care)
Turn your current job skills into a business. (Examples: writing, consulting, auto repair, teaching classes)
Turn a talent into a business. (Examples: teaching piano, singing, dancing, or exercising)
Start a business doing things other people hate to do. (Examples: cleaning service, income tax service, repair service)
Turn technology into a business. (Examples: word processing, computer programming, computer servicing)
Use your vehicle to start a business. (Examples: yard service, pick-up/delivery service, moving service)
Turn your kitchen into a business. (Examples: catering, specialty foods, canning)
Turn your property into a business. (Examples: herb farming, fee-fishing/hunting, organic gardening)
Turn your knowledge into a business. (Examples: teaching classes/workshops/seminars, planning events)
These suggestions offered are just to get your thinking started. The possibilities are limitless. For additional help on deciding what type of business to start, read the many books available. Two suggestions to get you started are "Working From Home," and "Homemade Money," which are listed under the suggested reading section of this document.
