| 9 Great reasons to start a home based Beading Business |
If beading creation is your hobby then why not turn it into a genuine money making opportunity. Thousands of people every year quit the 9-5 life in search of the good life, tired of the rat race and looking more for lifestyle than a lifetime of work.
There are many reasons why you should look at starting up your own beading business and here are nine of the best.
1 - Working from home: Save money working from the spare room in your house or as your business grows you can expand into the garage so there is no need for expensive leasing or rent on a workshop.
2 – There should be no need to install a second phone line when you get started. If you wish you can use caller ID to vet your calls on your home phone so that you can easily tell the difference between personal and work calls. Also the opportunity now to use Internet telephone services is growing extremely rapidly offering cheap calls and voice mail services with no need for installation costs and line rental.
3 – A few simple hand tools and a selection of basic beads is all that you require to get started. Save the more expensive tools and materials until later on when you have notched up your first few sales.
4 – Computer software these days is designed to help the small business owner so take advantage of it. Get yourself an accounting package to keep your taxes up to date so that you don’t have to spend a lot of money with an accountant come the end of the financial year.
5 – No more commuting to and from work. Think of the time you would save every week if you didn’t have to actually leave the house to go to work. Even if you’re only travelling 30 mins each way that’s 5 hours a week, almost a full work day that you can spend on your business or your family.
6 - One of the great perks of working from home is wearing what you like. No more need to dress up in office gear for appearances sake. Wear tracksuit pants or your PJ’s if you wish.
7 – The joy of being able to set your own hours. If you don’t have to be at work when your boss says so until they let you leave you can start to organise you work around your life instead of organising your life around your work.
8 – Set your household chores to do in little breaks from your bead making. Every body needs to take little rest breaks from work so why not use some of that time to hang out the washing. This might sound a bit crazy but by taking 10 minutes out from your working day to do a few household chores you actually free up more time for your family at the weekend.
9 – Amazing tax breaks. Work at home business can get some great tax breaks. Claim part of your rent, phone, and electricity as part of your tax break. Also any trips you make in the car to go see clients or pick up materials can all become tax deductible. Plus if your away for the weekend and happen to end up purchasing some beading materials or meet a customer on your trip, well that sounds like a business trip to me which should be tax deductible too.
