Benefits of having your own home business

Benefits of Having your Own Home Business
No Alarm Call - As anyone who has a regular job can agree, being rudely awoken from a comfortable night's sleep, on a cold winter's morning is one of the pet 'hates' of having a full time job. Have you ever stopped to think about the toll being taken on your body? Start your own home business and forget those cold, early morning awakenings. Sleep more, feel good, and get up when you feel like it, fresher than ever. Relax a little, watch TV, and start work when you feel right, not when your alarm clock tells you!


No Boss - You may be one of the lucky ones who has the pleasure of working for a nice boss. But even those that do often yearn to be at the helm of the ship. By setting your own timetable and your own tea breaks, you effectively become your own boss. Think about it - never having to answer to your boss again.


No Uniform - The work at home lifestyle comes with numerous advantages, and one of the best perks is being able to wear what you want. No one is going to see you, you could even work in your pajamas. So out with the ill fitting uniforms, and in with your most comfortable pair of jeans and t-shirt.


No Set Hours - Most people with a regular full time job often hate the monotony of the 9 to 5 routine (or should we say regime!). Think how it would feel knowing that on Monday morning, you haven't got to get up and make that repetitive journey to work. Think how it will feel when you wake to a cold rainy morning knowing full well you haven't got to go out in it. Enjoy the benefits of setting your own hours. Work where you want, when you want.


No Travel Costs - Fuel prices are rising, but your wages are not! Sound familiar to you? Fuel prices have soared all over the world and the trend looks to be lasting. In fact, fuel reserves are running low and the increased price of a rare commodity can send some families into the red. For a lot of families, the cost of running an automobile is one of the biggest. Start a home business and your travel costs are zero.


Tax Benefits - Those that run a business from home enjoy numerous tax benefits. We are not financial advisers and we're not going to discuss ways to maximize your tax benefits here. But using your home as a place of work can seriously decrease your income tax bill. Everything from electricity and energy bills, to clothing, and in some cases even your mortgage costs, can be offset against your tax bill. Always seek guidance from a qualified accountant in all tax matters.


Enjoy Time with your Kids - Last, but not least, probably the main reason why many people, especially moms, want to start a home business, is to spend time with the family. Many moms have to stay at home to look after the children, and in some cases, this means a break from work, and a reduction in household income. With the work at home market ever expanding, this no longer has to be a problem. In fact, moms make up roughly 70% of the work at home market.
