Generally service businesses are not very scalable because they require you find a partner or hire someone who is as capable as you are in order to grow. Online businesses that offer products and services, especially web based ones, are ideal if you want to work at home. They are easily scalable because you can increase sales many times over without increasing your effort much or at all. Most people who choose to work at home are either looking to increase their income or increase their free time. Obviously the sooner we can drop the “work” part of work at home the better it is for us.

Once you get established you need to ensure that you set up your business so that it is easily scalable.
You cannot, and will never be able to DUPLICATE yourself. You can teach people to be like you. You can teach people to develop skills for themselves. But, you’ll lose the battle if you constantly try to duplicate yourself in others.

However, you can duplicate a SYSTEM. You can duplicate a website. You can duplicate an automated sales process. Why? It’s because we can use an exact replica of the material on a website to ensure consistent results. We can use the exact “copy” in your advertising. We can duplicate every part of a marketing system because there is no “human element” to mess things up. You are not at the mercy of having to hire and retain quality people. Staffing issues are often the biggest problem for many businesses and it is because of this challenge.

This is why so many people looking to work at home choose network marketing or affiliate marketing. The structure of these organizations allow your business to grow faster by leveraging the efforts of others. It’s essential that your work at home career allows for income growth without effort growth. When I started to work at home in network marketing, it took me a while to realize that I didn’t have enough time in the day to call each and every prospect as well as perform all of the other tasks. Once I set up my business to do a better job of qualifying leads and generating automatic sales, my income really took off and I began to have more time available. This allowed me to further develop my business so that I could work at home permanently without worrying about whether or not I was going to get paid this month.

If you are looking to work at home or have already started a home based business, take a look at the structure and arrangement of what you are doing. Is it scalable? Can you double your income without doubling your efforts? If not, you should re-evaluate what you are doing.

1. Clearly identify how much you have available.
The best place to start is yourself. If you have some capital available to invest in a business this is a great start as other parties you approach will take you more seriously. They will take you more seriously as they want to see that you have “skin in the game.” Once your position is clear, family and friends are the next to approach. If you say they have money make sure it truly is available. There is nothing more frustrating than approaching professional lenders with your well thought out business plan showing a clear financial plan that includes a partial capital injection from family and or friends. The lender then approves their loan subject to the other parties contributing but then everyone finds out the family and or friends have changed their mind and al the planning by all parties has been a waste of time.

2. Identify what you need.
How much capital do you need and why? Is it to buy equipment, buy inventory, pay a franchise fee, downpayment on a business or cash to fund the business operation? There are different types of lenders for different types of loans. Get the “why” worked out quickly so you can find the right lender to approach.

3. Research your options.
There are different lenders that focus in different areas of the market. The obvious place to start is your local bank or credit union. Hopefully you have a good enough relationship to speak to the business development officer at your branch or be referred to this person. If this position doesn’t exist, ask to speak with the manager. If your bank can’t help, ask for a referral to a lender that can but make sure it’s clear why you need the loan so you are introduced to the right lender. If you’re still looking for options, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has a wealth of knowledge. Search online at http://www.sba.gov. If you still need options, search the internet but focus on keywords that are specific to the loan you need. For example, if you need a loan for cash flow and have accounts receivable to use as collateral, use “accounts receivable loan” as your key words and you will come across lenders that provide factoring. Once you find some companies that can help, make sure you are comfortable working with them and research the full costs and terms of the loans.

4. Support your loan application.
Wanting the money for your business won’t be enough. Proving you need the money won’t be enough. A quality lender will want to see a business plan explaining how the loan will be used, a resume detailing ownership experience (and therefore the ability to repay the loan), education, credit history and most important of all in today’s economy, the appropriate management experience to run the business and therefore repay the loan. If you need help on how to write your business plan, look for the article I’ve written called “10 tips for your next business plan.”

Supporting your loan application also includes looking at your credit score and credit history. These two points are important. If your credit score is in poor shape and you can clearly explain why and the lender is comfortable with the explanation, they may approve your loan. For example, if you had an auto accident a few years ago that resulted in medical bills that are now under control, your poor credit score is explainable. Similarly, before applying for a loan get a copy of your credit report. Often there are mistakes on your credit report. Get these removed before applying for a loan so this problem is eliminated.

5. Build cash flow projections.
Lenders eat and sleep cash flow projections. This is what they do for a living. The stronger your cash flow projection the greater your chances of success in getting the loan approved. If this is not your strength, get help from your accountant or someone who knows and understands cash flow projections.

If you want some free tools to help put your loan together, visit my website http://www.Andrew-Rogerson.com/samples.htm and download item 4 which is a bank loan application form so you can see the questions they ask. Item 5 is a Personal Financial Statement while item 6 is a Loan Amortization Schedule that shows you how long and how much it will require each month to pay back a loan. Plus there are other options.

6. Sell your need.
Once you have the data built and ready to launch your loan application, practice your sales pitch. Don’t over embellish but be confident, know the ins and outs of why you need the loan and practice your response so you come off confident. The lenders aren’t looking for a sales pitch but they are looking to see that you believe and that if they need to escalate your loan request to higher management, you will present strongly and not have their judgment questioned.

7. Keep educating yourself.
As you work through each step of this process, ask questions. It’s amazing how options appear from places you least expect because you talk to a friend who knows someone at Rotary who specializes in these sorts of loans. Alternatively, they may not be able to help you with that loan but they can help strengthen you and your application so it gets approved…which is what this all about in the first place.

Obtaining a loan or finance for a business has been very difficult. Because the economy is stabilizing and government programs are beginning to have a positive effect, loans are available as long as you the borrower, present a professional business case.

This Article is about writing a Business Plan to Get more out of the Resources You Already Have. Most of us have access to more available resources than we have considered and it’s only after we think through a few key aspects of what the people involved in growing the business have, that we will get the results we want in the shortest period of time.

A side effect of including this in your business plan is an increased chance of getting the funding you want.

Think of this as the resume part of your business plan. If you were to hire yourself and the others involved in your business to start your business, why would you hire them? What do they bring to the table as far as personal assets are concerned? This could include but is not limited to money, relationships and experience.

What are the benefits these assets bring? What could these assets prevent from happening that could be potentially harmful to the business?

Get creative when thinking through your resources. Remember, you can ask others what they feel is unique about you that makes you qualified to build this kind of business.

You can also ask yourself what resources you do not have that would be helpful in reaching your business goals. Then, go create those resources before you get started or put any capital at risk.

Remember, everything you need is available to you…Everything.

But you will never get or be able to fully leverage an asset that you don’t know is there. And every asset that you create in the future become more valuable as you become skilled at fully leveraging what you have available. Not many people talk about it this way. But leveraging the assets you have is one of the most important skills you can develop as an entrepreneur.

So take stock and use those resources to your highest advantage.

Here are some thoughts every female entrepreneur should consider when it comes to her relationships:

* In business with clients: make sure every relationship is symbiotic – beneficial to both parties. If a client is increasingly or consistently difficult to please and continues to drain entrepreneur resources, end the relationship. If a woman business owner and a client enjoy working together, the woman business owner should keep in contact with the client, even between projects, to maintain a network of people who can help her grow her business.
* In business with employees or team members: provide clear and constant communication. If an employee or team member isn’t playing his or her part, provide feedback. If that doesn’t remedy the situation, end the relationship. Also, female entrepreneurs should focus on providing clear communication to employees and team members, and should make opportunities available to employees or team members who want to provide feedback of their own, whether it relates to the ground-level systems they know so well, or to the business owner’s communication style. Even entrepreneurs who value freedom and flexibility must make themselves available to people they hire.
* In business with clients: strive to maintain perspective. Some female entrepreneurs take business more personally than others do. For some, this means they take business so personally that they struggle with day-to-day decisions. For others, it means they don’t take it personally at all, and can come across as brusque or abrasive with team members or clients. Keeping things in perspective and finding a balance between taking business situations totally personally or not taking them personally at all will provide women business owners with more effective work-life balance and with better communication.
* At home with spouse or romantic partner: manage time well to ensure adequate time and attention on personal relationships. Every successful entrepreneur is passionate about her business, and must demonstrate the same level of passion about her family relationships so the people she loves don’t feel neglected. Women business owners must remember to ask their loved ones about their passions, and to avoid monopolizing home conversations with talk about the business.
* At home with self: nurture the most important relationship – that with self. Many women business owners work so hard to provide for their employees, their families and their companies that they forget to provide for themselves. It is crucial in finding a satisfactory work life balance to set aside “self” time – and to stick to it. Find something relaxing – whether it’s a long walk, a massage, a facial, or a coffee break – and then schedule time regularly into the calendar to spend some time doing it.
* At home with children and family: consider the effect business plans may have on home life. While some business owners report high levels of satisfaction with the work-life balance they strike, it is important to consider how changes in the business will affect family life. Depending on circumstances, for example, it may benefit a business owner and her family if she spends as much time with the kids as possible when they’re out of school for the summer, and plans a new product launch or business growth spurt to occur during the fall, when they are back in school.

At some point in the life of every business and every personal or family relationship, the two are bound to seem incompatible. However, by following the advice outlined in this article, female entrepreneurs can make strides towards managing this inherent conflict, so that their business and their relationships can coexist peacefully.

Positive thinking can start just by writing five or more positive statements on a 3×5 cards, which can be read several times during the day. Think about what is holding you back in the pursuit of success and eliminate it by replacing it with a new and positive affirmation. The sub conscious mind acts as a recorder and believes whatever the conscious mind says. If you get frustrated and tell yourself, “I’m stupid.”, guess what the subconscious mind heard? Then during the next mishap, it feeds that remark right back to you. The way to correct a statement of that nature is to say,”Cancel, Cancel”, I’m not stupid, I’m a very intelligent person. Let the subconscious mind record the corrected statement, not the first one.
The internet is full of pertinent information on how to develop positive thinking and make it an everyday part of your life. Check out Amazon, Google or any book store on line. Pick up a book, or use the subliminal cd’s to play in the background, and eventually you will start to see and feel a difference in your daily attitude.

Advantages of Filing Assumed Name Certificate, Fictitious Business Name or DBA:
When you are starting up, you definitely want to keep costs low and the process simple. DBA Filing helps you to do that. You do not have the ongoing maintenance or the costs associated with forming a corporation or LLC. Once your business is running profitably, you may want to convert it to a corporation or LLC.

* It allows you as a sole proprietor to use a business name rather than your personal name.
* It allows a single legal entity (corporation, LLC, etc.) to operate multiple businesses without creating a new legal entity for each business.
* Having an Assumed Name gives the business owner some creditability.

Disadvantages of Filing Assumed Name Certificate, Fictitious Business Name or DBA:
A dba, Assumed name certificate, Fictitious business name or Trade name is just a certificate you are legally required to file. It helps you open a bank account and be legal but it does not protect your personal assets because the business entity is still a sole owner. A sole owner is liable for all civil or financial liability that the business incurs.

Should you file dba, Incorporate, or Form an LLC: Generally, if you are one person, and have a lot of personal assets, the best choice would be to incorporate or form an llc, You will be protected. If you don’t have a lot of assets ( such as a home and an expensive car ), you may want to just want to appy for DBA. A corporation, depending on the state you want to incorporate, or form an LLC, may cost $100 to $200 more than a dba but it protects your personal assets. A dba does not protect you.

You can only operate your business in the county or city you file dba, for each additional county or city you have to file separate dba.

How to get a DBA?
Infotax Square has made simple and easy for you to apply for DBA, trade name, fictitious name registration, or assumed business name, We handle all the state, county, and in some cases, city requirements where a business is planning to use a name in addition to ensuring the publication requirements are met for the appropriate jurisdictions.
