Home-based businesses are skyrocketing in popularity in the USA. At present there are more than 38 million such enterprises scattered across the country with the majority being owned by women according to research conducted by Small Business Trends. If you are unhappy in your current job or simply crave a change of lifestyle, starting your own small business might be an avenue worth exploring. Nothing prevents you from joining the ranks of millions of smart and successful women who are forging careers for themselves from the comfort of their own homes.

What are the best home-based opportunities to pursue?

The best home-based opportunities are generally those that are not overly-complicated, require little startup capital and carry minimal risk. According to further data collected by the SBT, as many as 44% of home-based businesses are opened with less than $5,000. Depending on your own personal ambitions and skillset, you can opt to manufacture your own products to sell, become a reseller of quality products, render an in-demand service such as tutoring, or even provide copywriting or editing facilities.

Why work from home?

There are countless reasons why a smart, formidable woman may choose to start a home-based business. Home-based companies generate a lot of money in the USA – in excess of $427 billion a year. Of these, more than 20% earn between $100K and$500K annually. Apart from the obvious financial benefits of investing in a small business, you will also find yourself having a lot more flexible time on your hands than ever before, despite being in charge of your own enterprise.

You will have a lot more time on your hands

You may be surprised at how much time you spend daily on trivial tasks such getting ready for work, commuting to and from the office, and sitting inon endless staff meetings that do not boost your career prospects in any way. Working from home will eliminate most of these time-wasting activities, seeing you gain a lot of time you can put to good use otherwise. You can spend the extra hour you have every day sleeping, or engaging in an exercise regime that you never before had time for. Either way, you are bound to be a healthier and happier individual than ever before.

It allows for a more flexible schedule

Two working parents within a family often make for a very disorganized family life. Juggling numerous schedules on a daily basis can be chaotic, especially if you have more than one child. Chances are you have missed plenty of soccer games and band practices due to your erratic timetable. Working from home will allow you to be a lot more flexible with your time, becoming an active participant in your family’s lives.

If you are longing to change your life and take control of your own destiny, starting your own home-based business could prove to be the perfect opportunity to achieve just that. A simple idea coupled with a lot of perseverance could very well turn into a life-changing business venture.
