Home Based Businesses
What do Ford Motor Company, Hershey Chocolate, Mary Kay Cosmetics, and Apple Computer have in common? They all started out as home based businesses. Over half of all businesses in the US today are based out of an owners home. Starting a top home based business has many challenges, and many rewards. Home based businesses and franchises are becoming more common today, but beware. Some, ” work from home “, opportunities can be schemes to get your money. You need to do your homework first. Check with your Better Business Bureau to see if a company is legit, and what kind of track record they have. Don’t always trust a Google search. You can always get unreliable information from people who post on Google. Look at your source of information. Can I trust it? Who are they? Good, honest companies won’t mind you nosing around for information on them or their products. In fact they will encourage you to do that. Check us out. We don’t have anything to hide. United First Financial, whom I am an agent for, does exactly that. They are happy to answer any questions, and invite people to do their due diligence, and examine them and their track record. If I wanted to look for a new doctor, I don’t think that I would trust a Google search to find a physician that I would want to place my families medical needs too. I would go to people who have used, or can recommend a reliable doctor that they have some knowledge of. Would you want to be going into surgery with a doctor that you found on Google? The same is true of a home based business. Find some people who know about the company and have used it’s product. When someone has used, or is using the product, that is the best resource you can find. The Better Business Bureau has been a reputable source of information for businesses for many years. They keep records of any complaints, and if those complaints were addressed and closed, and how long it took them to settle any issue a client may have had using their product. What kind of interaction does a company have with it’s agents after they are operating and promoting their home based business? Does the company say, ” thanks for jumping on board. Your on your own now.” A good company will have checks and balances to help you get started on the right foot, and a good base for training and help with any problems that you may have. After all, you are representing them. Many companies are choosing to franchise out into home based businesses, because it gives them a lower overhead. It’s cheaper for them and it allows them to give a little bit bigger piece of the pie to you.
