Small business franchise ideas for home based business.

If you are planning to start home based business, probably you should consider a Franchise.
At http://www.bizbuysell.com/ you can find Home Based Business Franchise for sale. There are 117 Franchises found at this category for today.
Along with the home based businesse there are also other categories like: restoraunt, travel, sports, health and beauty, etc.
There is a speciall category - Low Cost Franchises. Hm.... but prices are not so low in the catgory. The lowest is $15,000 and it is Compound Profit with their multiple opportunities like financing, factoring, equipment leasing, purchase order financing, lines of credit.... Sounds very specific. Something like money collector.

Let's revert and explore home based business category. These should be cheaper anyway.
Franchise business do require some capital. For example the smallest investment requires Window Dekor Franchise - only $9,500. They are giving away their 70 years of experience! Of coure, it cann't be received for free. And if there is any business that changes rapidly, I guess this one is based on proven methods like communication and understanding a client, and that is a permanent value for centuries.
If you think you are creative personality, why should not give it a try?

The similar one is $ 20,000 for Home Blinds. But for this amount you are getting all the necessary support and training from them just to jump in the ready business. Find it here http://www.bizbuysell.com/franchise-for-sale/home-blinds.
They provide with all the products and training to start and operate the business in the same week of your training and set up.
If you feel that window design is your strong point, you should consider this.

Other business to consider here is housecleaning ($40,000), seniors helping ($200,000), interior design ($35,000), dog lovers ($80,000) and many more to search through, and it is really exciting.

If you love dogs, I gues this is the perfect choice - your own dog training school!

Take others experience starting business

If want to start a business to make some money but frustrated because have no idea what exactly you could do nor where to start, and maybe missing an idea or need incentive and encouragement, then look NO further. Here will review any possible business models!

So, what should I do to earn some additional money to improve my family budget?

Start e-commerce business! It is quite easy because you do not need essential amount of money to start. You don't need to think about office lease nor hire employees. That you can do from your own home in pyjamas. Actually your financial envolvment depends of what kind of business you may want. Here we will review some the fast and easy "no starting capital" e-business projects.

But in case you consider having your own hair salon instead of a virtual shop and looking for some advise, I have found very good site www.allbusiness.com. There are good videos and interviews with people who have their own businesses - family restorant or backery. They share what it is that keeps their business going on successfully and how they have changed personally during their business development. They say that merchants should stop doing all by themselves to develop the business as that was good for the beginning but then there was a time, when the owner had to learn trust and give responsibility away to inferiors. Yes, it
could be pitfall for people who like controlling everything. The site helps small and growing businesses save time and money by addressing real-world business questions and presenting practical solutions.

There is a lot of good tutorials on the site like Practical Guide to Starting a Business; Hiring Employees; Office Leases; Practical Guide to Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Trade Secrets; Startegic Aliances and Joint Ventures; Capital Financing and Agreements. The cost is $49.00 per guide.
Specially I like Women-Owned Business Videos here at http://www.allbusiness.com/3475616-1.html, there are several interviews with women. They tell about their home based business and how do they balancing their work and family.

It is a good idea to start a Service Business that you can do from your home. There are a lot of things to do like: bookkeeping, web design or if you like writting you can offer your talant to website owners through www.elance.com. They will be happy to pay you $8 or so per article. And you can do these jobs whenever you can.

So, we just began about non-virtual business here and get to the point that the most comfortable and maybe even the best business idea lately is business from your own home, with your computer.

Welcome to the board!
