There are so many home-based business owners out there, all over the world; the reasons they became ones, varies from one owner to another.

Some did it because they wanted to find success and become wealthy; some walked down this road because they were sick of being “ordinary” low paid employees and had grand ambitions to become their own boss - independent and free.

For others, it was simply about not having much choice.
Some people simply can't get out of their home, due to difficult family-related circumstances, poor health, disabilities and other unique situations.

Regardless of their reason to start one, most home biz owners enjoy and like what they do.
It offers them an array of advantages in many aspects.

Let's take a deeper look and examine some of them.
 

While starting a “traditional” business involves major financial investments and high risks, opening a home-based one requires very little start up money and therefore the risk is much lower and easier to endure.

In most cases, home businesses don't need having a large (or any) inventory, large storage space, logistics areas or to pay extra rent for the business.

As an owner, you're the big boss and you alone make all of the business decisions and you don't need to get the approval of anybody above you, in order to move forward with a decision or a great idea.

You can also enjoy some great tax advantages, since you can report some of your ordinary home expenses, as business ones and get some refunds and deductions.

Successful home business owners can do very well in financial terms and in many cases they make much more money than what they made in their “previous lives,” as ordinary employees.

Since businesses that are operated from home have far fewer expenses than standard ones, lots of them enjoy extremely high profit margins and their net income can be very high.

People who work from their home, enjoy considerable lifestyle advantages.
The flexibility of choosing your own working hours and leisure time is a major obvious plus as nothing beats setting your own schedule.

The work itself is also known to be in a more relaxed homey atmosphere, with far less pressure and stress, compared to the very tense corporate alternative.

When you wake up in the morning (whenever it is) and get out of bed, you're already automatically at the “office.”
There's no need to quickly dress up, commute, get stuck in horrible traffic jams or be late for work.

However, above all, lots of home entrepreneurs will tell you that the concepts of personal independence and financial freedom are the ones that are most appealing to them.
