How many years have you vowed that “this year will be the year I start my own business?” Perhaps it is time to put that good idea of yours into action. The best approach to a new business is starting at home. Right out of the gate, you’ll be lowering your business expenses by not paying for office space. Here are some other things to keep in mind about starting a home business:

Permits

If you’re running a business out of your home, there could be special tax registrations, occupational licenses and permits from the city that you will have to apply for. If you live in a community that is part of a homeowner’s association, you might have to clear it with them. You want to make sure your business isn’t halted because you missed filing something.

Update Insurance

Your homeowner’s insurance policy might need to be amended to cover expanded business. Suppose a delivery person or client trips on your steps. A standard policy might not cover it if they are there for your business. You might find that adding a rider is all you need for extended coverage and it won’t be that expensive. You also have to consider if you’re going to be storing some kind of inventory. Then you would need to move into the area of business insurance.

Set Aside a Place For Work

The great benefit of setting up a home business is the commute. You will never get stuck in traffic! But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t set boundaries. That beings with establishing a dedicated work zone. Your family needs to respect that when you’re at your work desk, you shouldn’t be bothered. You also shouldn’t get distracted with maintaining the house at the expense of getting your work done. It will all fall into place with proper time management.

To get your work space up and running, you’ll first have to empty out the area of all the unwanted clutter.
