Excerpt
Information gathering a helpful tool to determine if you are ready to take the risk of a home business operation is the U.S. small business administration (sba) publication entitled checklist for going into business (mp-12). It will help you focus on the basic steps in information gathering and business planning. While home-based business operations may vary from one that supplements family income with a few hundred dollars to a sophisticated technical consulting service billing hundreds of thousands of dollars, there are many common characteristics and challenges to be considered in launching most home-based businesses. Some tasks are universal to all small business start-ups, while others are unique to home-based businesses. For example, careful research into legal and tax issues, evaluation of proper space utilization and time management discipline are essential. Inadequate attention to the development of a detailed business plan can be costly for you and your family in terms of lost time, wasted talent and disappearing dollars.
