Plan

Every successful business starts with a great idea -- but even a great idea needs careful planning to determine whether or not it will work. Here’s what you need to know when starting a work at home business in Canada:

Know Your Market

Demand for your product or service – who are your customers?
Supply – who are your competitors?
Know Your Product

Product costs – how much profit can you expect to make?
Product sourcing – where will get your product supply?
Product quality – do you believe in what you’re selling?
All of this information needs to be combined in a business plan that also addresses how you will finance that great business idea of your’s!

Know Yourself

Ok, say you’ve got the great idea and you’ve done your planning. Is the business a “go”?

Whether or not it’s the right decision to start a work at home business really comes down to knowing yourself and being honest about your abilities, limitations, commitment to work -- and your expectations about the business.
