Are you running a business from home?
Are you frustrated by being considered a hobbyist more than a real business owner?
Well there is good news for you.
There’s a new class of business owners called Homepreneurs.
Small business owners running viable enterprises from their home.
A study by The Small Business Success Index in America last year researched home based businesses and found some very interesting facts.
- There are about 6.6 million home based businesses that generate at least 50% of the owner’s household income.
- Homepreneur businesses employ over 13 million people.
- 35% of homepreneur businesses generate more than $125,000 in revenue; 8% more than $500,000.
- Homepreneur businesses are competitive, scoring roughly the same on the Small Business Success Index as small businesses based outside the home.
So what can you take from this?
This section of the economy is alive and vital and increasing all the time.
Technology is assisting this and I believe in the next decade we’ll see it increase.
