Home Business vs. Brick and Mortar BusinessCopyright © Roderick Eash
http://www.TheEashSyndicate.comFor some people, the idea of a home business seems a foreign language. They cannot
understand how a home business can bring in more income than that of a business that is
formed in a solid building. It's much the same line of thinking of those who shy away
from the concept of network marketing—it's not a traditional business, so the idea
frightens them. Of course, if you do your research and choose a business that is
compatible with your skill level and experience, a home business can be more profitable
than a brick and mortar business. Some of the reasons why they may happen are
described below.
One of the major reasons a home business can be more profitable than a brick and mortar
is overhead. For example, a home business does not require payroll expenses, a
sophisticated security system, business phone system, and inventory just to name a few.
That doesn't mean that your home business will not have overhead because any business
you operate has expenses connected to its operation. The difference is that a home
business has a much lower rate of overhead since you are using your home. There is no
need for additional electric, phone, gas, or water lines, thus only a portion of the usage of
those commodities is expensed for the business. Also, unless you hire people who
actually work for you as opposed to outsourcing the work, there is no need for insurance
except for yourself. You may need to change your homeowners' policy to accommodate
the business part of your home, but you shouldn't need an entire new policy – even if you
do, the cost will be much lower than that of an entire building.
If you have a brick and mortar business, you can certainly not bring your children to
work, even if they are school age. For one thing, it will be difficult to put them on the bus
from another location, so having a brick and mortar business facilitates the need for either
day care or a babysitter if you children are young. With a home business, you may be
able to avoid childcare expenses if your children are old enough to understand that you
are working and cannot be disturbed. This is especially true if they are all in school since
you can probably do most of your work during those hours. You also don't have to worry
about losing time from work they are ill or daycare is closed—you just need to rearrange
your work schedule. Some types of home businesses may allow you to work when your
children are there, but if you meet clients, home or away, you should arrange to have
your children placed in daycare or with a babysitter.
