I’m not really sure where to start. Any ideas from people who have started their own business. What it will cost me? I know I can start small doing a few homes myself, and then add employees and more clients. But what are the basics? Do I need insurance? What all do I need? Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank You in Advance!

You want to be insured and licensed and bonded. You need a legit business structure, probably an LLC would be good for you. You need to do the paperwork.

Good basic article and yes a business plan does make sense for you as you do need to figure out costs, charges, equipment, supplies, billing, payroll, taxes, advertising, do you want homes or commercial cleaning? Willing to do one shot deals or you want long-term contracts with weekly or biweekly cleanings? Etc.

will have resources for you.

Good luck! If people want to pay you less to start tell them you’ll consider a break on the price for awhile IF they will serve as a reference for you.

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.

You could try tax planning and preparation. A filling cabinet and computer are all the equipment needed.

Question by Miss Ella: I want to start my own business, any tips?
I have been working on a business plan for the past few years and I’m finally getting close to having the perfect plan to open my own clothing store, and I know it will be huge in my city because there’s nothing like it and it also benefits the art community as well.

Here’s the catch. I have no real savings to put in it, and don’t want to take out a loan. Where can I find the right investors, and how do you pitch your business plan to them so they see the greatness of your idea?

ANY suggestions would be helpful.

Answer by lynnbodoni
Investors won’t invest unless you put in a substantial amount of your own money, so that you will have an incentive to do your best to make the business work.

Neither will banks. You’re going to need to be able to put in a lot of your own money into any business venture, or take out a large personal loan secured by your own assets.

Question by Trillium: What are the top home based business ideas with minimum start up costs?
Has anyone been successful with starting a moderately successful home based business with little to no start up costs? How long have you had it? And is it worth the effort?

Answer by thormale
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.
