5 Facts About Homepreneurs You Probably Never Knew!

Let’s start today by defining a homepreneur.

They are small business owners running viable enterprises from their home.

I guess you could say they’re a subset of entrepreneurs because being based at home they often have to be very enterprising in order to compete with other businesses.

So what are they like? How would I recognise one if I saw them down the street away from their home?

According to The Small Business Success Index in America there are five defining characteristics

  1. Homepreneurs tend to be male, middle-aged and white according to the 2009 Network Solutions survey.
  2. 69% of homepreneurs are male, 31% are female.
  3. 88% of homepreneurs identified themselves as non-minorities and 11% identified themselves as minorities.
  4. 52% were over 55 years old and only 6% were less than 35.
  5. 46% of homepreneurs completed college

So you can see they’re not some kind of fringe community. From the statistics they are fairly mainstream and a vital part of the economy and community

So if you’re a homepreneur drop a comment on your experiences
