Work from Home
So you want to work from home. First you need to determine your expenses. You'll have household expenses, insurance, car, loans, food, clothes, and luxuries such as vacations and hobbies. On the positive side, you can look at how much you're saving if you work from home. You can save on childcare(if you have children), car expenses such as gas and upkeep, office clothes and other personal appearance items, lunches, eating out for business or because you're too tired to cook, and other expenses that you incur in the work world.
If you really want to work at home, you can cut back on certain things to make up for temporary lost income until you get your business going. Get books from the library instead of buying them. If you're home, you have more time to look for bargains and do your own repairs and cleaning instead of hiring other people to do them. You can look for sales in the newspaper and cut coupons. If you go into working at home with a realistic idea of your financial situation, you can make it work(pun intended).
If the idea of working alone scares you or you're just an extroverted person, you can team up with another person or people in a business. For example, stay-at-home mothers could team up. Think about who you want to work from home with. You have to think about if their personalities mesh with you. Do you have similar work ethics? There has to be trust. How would the partner react to setbacks? Do they solve
the problems or do they get emotional? Also make sure there will be fun in the relationship.
Now you've decided you want to work from home, and you're either working alone or with others. Now you have to decide if you need a business name if there‘s no company already involved.
Some products scream out to be named more than others. A freelance writer wouldn't need a business name as much as someone who sold food. The name should be relevant to your business, apart from the competition, easy to remember, pronounce, and spell.
Your name should grab your ideal customers. To get ideas, you can surf the Internet, ask those around you for suggestions, and read materials in the field. Be careful not to choose a name close to a competitor or any company. These names are trademarked and can't be used by others. Look up your name idea on the Internet to see if it's taken by anyone else.
If you're going to have a website, you'd want your business name and website address to be the same. You can go to the county clerk's office and see if there's another business with your name idea. With matters of finances, employees, and business title settled, your home business should be a go.
