Are you working in a full time job as well? You may not have a lot of time to devote to your online business, so think carefully about that – also how much money you have available as many opportunities require an initial investment.

My websites will give you some good ideas about businesses you could try and also the training and resources you will need to be successful.

Sendoutcards is a good example of a homebased business with a product everyone uses.

Question by Trillium: What are the top home based business ideas with minimum start up costs?

The easiest way to make money online is by selling a product that can be delivered electronically. There are no shipping or fulfillment costs eating away at your revenue. Electronic products are easy to produce and it is not necessary to get anything published. Selling software online is excellent because new software is always necessary. Programmers at local colleges come cheap, if you have the funds. If you do not have extra funds, cut them a profit for the first two years. You will still earn more than your expenses.

What other businesses can be started with little or no money? Here are a few examples:

House and Office Cleaning Business
Laundry Business
Alteration Service
Babysitting
Pet Sitting or Walking
Personal Chef
Court Paper Server
Resume and Document Writer

It all depends on you and what skills you have and what you enjoy doing and are good at.

Answer by jmartinez562
AVON is a good and solid business to start. Ebay is another,but you would have to have a real interest in anything you start because there MUST be passion. I would first write down on a piece of paper all the things you would do with your time if you never had to work a day in your life. Just write them down. Not all can convert into a home based business,but at least one will. Find your passion first then work around that.

Question by ..shy<3: How do I go about starting a home based business? What are some grants that I can apply for to help me?
I am interested in starting a home based business, at least home based for now. I want to design and sell plus sized clothing. Do I need a business license? What about financial assistance? Also if its needed it will be located in middle TN.

Best answer:

Answer by Stephen T
You will need a state tax ID number for sales tax purposes. If you need a city license you need to check with the local city clerk. Also make sure you can operate a home-based business in that area by contacting the zoning department. You probably won’ get a SBA grant to start that particular business but I’m sure if you asked around you could get a low-interest loan. Good luck.

Question by Lisa A: I have a home based business, do I have to do a limited liability corp?
I want to protect myself from people, but it is only a home based business.
When do you or should you incorporate your business? If I have to incorporate where is the cheapest to do it and why?
I make my own cosmetics from home.
Which is the safest to do:
Corporations
Limited Liability and so on. Which do I do?

Best answer:

Answer by Vainglorious
You do not have a limited liabilty corp if you have a sole propiertership. There are several reasons to incorporate.

Advantages
1) Risk of being sued
2) Tax benifits
3) Protection of Name

Disadvantages
1) Costly, lots of paperwork, you need a lawyer
2) Yearly fees
3) Tax benifits only come in to play if your bussiness makes alot of money

I would almost allways reccomened against it
