There are various circumstances that cause people

to consider starting a work from home business and

there are just as many of those businesses

available. What you need to ask yourself is whether

you want a work from home business or a work at

home business. The difference is the type of work

you will be doing, but either way it should be

something you are good at doing as well as

something you enjoy doing.

Typically, most work from home business operations

involves service-related jobs such as plumbing,

electrical or some other form of home improvement.

Consultants often develop a work from home business

and this type of work can be done through

telecommuting while working for someone else. While

salaried work from home positions are few and far

between, they are available on a very limited

basis.

There are many advantages to a work from home

business, beginning with a low overhead and being

able to use a portion of your home’s operating

expenses as a tax deduction. There are specific

rules governing business use of your home so be

sure to check with a tax advisor before claiming it

on your income taxes. If you end up being

ineligible for this deduction it could cost you

dearly in the form of penalties and interest.

By working from home you can usually establish your

own hours and your own dress code, however a

professional appearance will be mandated during the

times you meet with customers or prospective

clients. You will also have to have the motivation

to get up and work from home even on those days you

really do not feel like it, just as though you were

working for someone else in their office. You have

to show up in order to get your work done.

If you are thinking of working from home, and you

still have a full-time job, before walking away

from it you may want to work from home on a

part-time schedule to learn what it is going to

take to solicit work and get it done on time once

you get the contract. Depending on the type of work

you do, if it involves having clients visit your

home office, you will also have to consider the

cost of liability insurance to protect you in the

event of injury on your property.

You will also have to remember that when you work

from home you are generally treated as a contract

employee and all matters pertaining to taxes will

be your responsibility. Money paid to your self

will require certain tax forms and your income

taxes will have to be paid on a regular basis, just

like any other business does for their employees.
