Should you start your own home based business? This is a question that I often hear people talking about. Parents talk about it while dropping their children off at school, families talk about it when picking up groceries. It seems like there are people from every road in life thinking about starting a home based business. I would like to talk about the benefits of being a business owner so let’s dive right in.There are tax advantagesThere are tax advantages to starting and running a business. Running a business from home can usually be done for significantly less than if you were to purchase a store front business. There is also no rule against turning a home based business into a store front business in the future but for the sake of this discussion we are going to assume that you work from home. A lot of your expenses are tax deductible. I would strongly encourage you to hire an accountant and a lawyer once you have made enough in your business to warrant the expense because these can be valuable assets to your company and ensuring that you are remaining compliant with your obligations.The freedom of being home with your familyThe other clear and obvious benefit of having a business is being able to work from the comfort of your home. This means you can spend more time with your family and that is a freedom that is often difficult to come by.The freedom of a recurring incomeWith some businesses that are run for home examples are those in network or referral marketing, they pay you monthly a commission percentage for sales you receive. As long as you have active referrals purchase the product you receive a check. During the first two years you will most likely spend those years building your organization but once it is build and you have a solid team in place you will be able to work less and still make a nice income from commissions. This is the part of the home based business that most people find very appealing.You can help a lot of peopleIf you choose a home based business that offers a product or service that provides “value” you can feel good about the work that you are doing and know that you are helping a lot of people while you build your business. This is one of the reasons that more and more people are starting to explore home based businesses for their future.
