Working from home with a Home Based Franchise.

Working from home is increasing in popularity as an option whether on an employed basis or being self employed and its easy to see why.

If you are employed and your employer is prepared to let you work from home, then the flexibility of fitting around domestic responsibilities and reduced overheads such as petrol, trains and other travel costs, can be a big incentive.

If you are self-employed then by working from a home based office you can obviously make real savings in your start up costs especially with no additional premises to finance.

The most common routes to working from home are either to work for an employer who is prepared to let you carry out your business activities from home, or starting up a business of your own which can be home based, and some franchise businesses are built around this idea. If you are considering making a move to working from home then becoming self-employed is one of the more widely considered options.

By choosing a franchise business, you can further increase the likelihood of success as statistics show that 9 out of 10 franchise businesses trade profitably. Of course there is no guarantee of success with any business, but franchising has a proven track record in the UK for providing a route for many people to run a profitable business for themselves.

One of the advantages of choosing to start your own business through a franchise system is that the franchisor will, or should have, already worked out how you can make the most from working from home. They will be able to advise you on any savings through tax breaks by offsetting part of your fuel bills against the business for example.

However, be aware that there well be additional costs such as increased insurance requirements especially if you are inviting customers into your home. Is working from home for me You do need to consider if working from home is actually the best option for you. Although it seems like the ideal life choice, its not for everyone.

To productively work from home you need to have qualities such as:

• Being highly focused and self motivated
• A high level of discipline to avoid distractions
• An understanding family that will support you and respect your working time and space
• A drive to work hard and follow through the business plan

If you are easily distracted or find motivation difficult when you are in your own home then working from home could prove challenging for you. In these situations you are probably more suited to working from another location as some people find the physical act of - going to work - is necessary to put them into work mode.

Depending on space and finance setting up an office in an outbuilding or properly insulated and powered cabin in the garden has been a successful solution for many people. If you do believe that working from home maybe the right choice for you, and you like the idea of running a proven business system with the support and training that is offered, you can begin by researching a range of home based franchises from our franchise directory.

Remember that whether you opt to start a home based franchise business or a non-franchised business working from home, hard work and dedication will be important to the success of your venture.
