Small Businesses You Can Run from Home

Thinking about starting your own small business? Here are some ideas for businesses you can run from home.

Have been thinking about starting a small or micro size business, but are unsure about what type of business to start? Here are a few small business ideas to help you decide.

Turn a Pastime into Profits

One of the most popular ways to get started in a small business is to take a craft or hobby that you already love and commodify it. Whether it’s making soap or candles, knitting, photography, baking or something else, if you often receive compliments on your craft, it may be time to turn that pastime into profits.

Fill a Need

Sometimes the best way to come up with a new business idea is to simply feel a need in your community. Do your daily trips to the dog park connect you with pet parents frequently looking for pup sitters? Are your neighbours unable to shovel or rake their property? Do you know people who struggle to assemble flat packed furniture? These and other needs could result in a successful small business idea, because the consumer need has already been established.

Parlay Professional Skills into a Part-time Small Business

Not all small businesses need to be active on a full-time basis. It is possible that a seasonal or sometimes side business is all you need. Educators and accountants, business writers, multilingual professionals, bakers, and even individuals who excel at gift wrapping may be able to put their skills to work on their own time. These skills may become especially useful during a specific time of year like the holidays or tax season.
