Small Business Checklist: Home Office & Home Business

Aug 23, ’07 10:01 AM

Follow @SBusinessBlog

As part of a bootstrapping exercise or a business start-up phase, working from home is a great way to work, so I thought of some points to consider when setting up your office or small business at home: Cost - you will save a lot of money and be very eco-friendly when you decide not to rent an office, this saving can be used in other areas of your business, like marketing, better web-site or better IT.Family - I suspect that many of you work from home because of your family, it allows you to be around when your kids come home from school or look after relatives, while still earning a living.Commuting - again a very eco-friendly approach and saves money and time.... I use social network communities to linkedIn to build out my professional network, utilizing our online office, skype and other tools to communicate worldwide.More and more of my friends work from home so we have nice "pub-lunches" locally, no traveling, less stress and a much better work/life balance - how is your work/life balance?For more of my checklists see the Small Business Checklists category and as always please add to my list with your comments, tell us what works for you.

Here are some pointers to help you to look bigger, more professional and efficient: Business address - "19, Rose Gardens" may not be the best small business address, a PO Box number is not really the way to instill confidence either - use a business address service, which will forward all mail to you.Phone answering - have your phone answered, no matter what, use a virtual assistant or an answering service.... If you work with on virtual assistant they have usually a network of expertise around them, that creates a one stop shop for professional skills for you.Be proactive - use Key Account Management Techniques to deal with your customer, remember the 80/20 rule.Branding - even if you outsource insist on your own branding, it builds your brand and is less confusing for your customers.Share technology and facilities - see if you can find other businesses that let you share equipment, storage, office and anything else you can think of.Think big - the way you talk about your business, products and services will tell others a lot about you and your business.

Virtual Assistants provide valuable support to your business.

To you it means savings on your HR expenditure, this helps to keep overheads low.A Virtual Assistant can assist you in the area of his/her specialization, such as market research, credit control, public relations, marketing, payment follow-ups, designing, secretarial services, telephone answering and more. This all comes back to my belief that small business does need a services infrastructure delivered over the internet, so that they can concentrate on developing the business, and do not have all their time taken up by admin tasks.
