Product Description

Synopsis
Fed up with working for somebody else? Office politics getting you down? Charging to work in the morning, only to sit in endless queues of traffic? Train late...again!? Reality for most, but need it be that way? Many dream of starting a home-based business. You've got a great idea, but are not quire sure how to go about turning a freat idea into a great business, where you are your own boss. This book is a reference for all budding entrepreneurs. Divided into two parts, part A takes you through everything you need to consider before starting a home-based business - from requirements for success, through drawing up a business plan and cash flow forecast, to matters such as marketing, financial planning and credit control. Practical, detailed advice is given, with contacts for further information. Part B of the book contains concise profiles of over 50 different home-based business opportunities that could be started. Some of these require specific skiulls, training or experience (e.g. book-keeping, website design), while others are open to almost anybody (e.g. window cleaning, house-sitting).

Each profile includes concise answers to the following six questions: what the work entails; what you need to get started; who your customers will be?; how much you can make; howto sell your services; where you can get more help? Nick Daws has run his own home-based writing and consultancy business, specializing in careers and self-development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money!, 2 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book is invaluable for anyone looking to start their own home based business but isn't quite sure what they'd like to do. The second section of the book provides loads of ideas to get you thinking, explaining what you need to set up, capital requirements, earning potential and where you can get more help. If, like me, you have no idea about financial requirements, product pricing and business plans, the first part of the book will provide very useful reference material.

Nick Daws' style is very readable and he presents his ideas and advice in a clear, informative manner. I strongly recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great starting point for beginners, 9 Nov 2004
This book is highly recommended to those thinking of setting up a home-based business, but may not be sure of the field they wish to enter. Lots of helpful tips covering all aspects of business start-up, especially for those with no previous experience of business knowledge.
The book is split into 2 main sections, the first covering lots of ideas for businesses, summarising what your start-up needs and costs may be, and what experience and training (if any) you need for each of these ideas.
As I am already trained in my chosen field (web design) the first part of the book was not really appropriate to me personally as I knew what I was going for.

The second part however is great for all budding entrepeneurs, whether beginning or experienced, as it gives many handy hints on what to do, where to go, who to talk to etc. Even though I already knew the kind of people I need to seek advice and what I need to start up, I found that I was sticking bookmarks on many a page and noting down plenty of contact addresses and numbers for future reference!

All-in-all a great book for anyone even considering working from home, cheap at twice the price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Introduction, 19 Oct 2008
General guide on home based businesses. It talks about every kind of home business but does not go into any of them in great detail.
