Entrepreneur Magazine has made a very good list of Low Cost Startup Businesses that you can do on a small budget \n\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/lowcostbusinesses/0,6617,,00.html\n\nYou can also find some other home business ideas:\n\nTop 10 Home Businesses with Rapid Break-Even Time http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol33/breakeven.htm\n10 Profitable “Go-Out" Home Businesses http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol31/goout.htm\n\nBut the best business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while you would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. Or one might think that cleaning houses is a good business idea, but you simply don't think so; or one may gush about selling on eBay but if you have nothing to sell on eBay, then it is not for you.\n\nThe key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4. Learn the value of your services to others\n5. Find out who else offers similar services\n6. Learn from the successes of others\n7. Learn from the failures of others\n8. Plan your own success\n9. Make low cost mistakes\n10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it\n\nHe then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:\n\nBest Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills\n- antique restoration\n- auto detail service\n- carpet cleaning business\n- errand/delivery service\n- housecleaning business\n\nBest Service Businesses \n- bed and breakfast operator\n- caregiver\n- catering service\n- senior day care center\n- tutoring service\n\nBest Professional Businesses\n- desktop publisher\n- magazine writer\n- import/export service\n- income tax preparation service\n- event planner

Hello:\nIf you are sure that this would be a viable businesses in your area. I would create fliers and business cards (links below for lost cost options) and target families that have 2 working parents.  Give them a cost analysis of using your services to complete ironing for them as opposed to taking it all to the dry cleaner or hiring a housekeeper.  Also the elderly may be a target market, you could also possibly approach your local coin-op laundry's, ask them if they offer this service and if not ask them if perhaps they can include your card or flyer with their customers bill.  My local coin ops have a pay per pound service to have my laundry done for me, but the only one that will iron is the one that is attached to a dry cleaner (very expensive).\n\nYou may want to add other services as well (if you cant do them, maybe you can co-op with other people in your area) like sewing, alterations, laundry, errands etc.\n\nCheck out the other links, one is a forum of small business owners, they have a lnk on the left to ask questions and you can look through or post.  The other is Inc magazine, many many great articles on business. Click on "small business" "Start ups" or typr in your business and see if any articles come up.\n\nGood luck

Hi, I have no experience with this but I've found two sites that may help in starting up your business.\n\nGood luck!

PAY YOUR BILL!!! I work as a bill colelctor and the best thing to do is work out an arrangement that you are able to commit to. Stop running and being immature about it by hanging up (If that's what you do). Although it's people like you that keep us having a job. I know there are some nasty bill collectors but not all are bad. Other wise you can write a cease and desist letter that will eliminate calls for 5 years.  But please make out an arrange to pay off debt or do a settlement. By this, I mean agree to work with the creditor by paying 50% of bll and writting off the rest- it much better than have your acct charge off.

Along the same lines as the ebay comment, starting your own business is the way to go. It is a lot of work and you need ideas that would be profitable. America is the land of oppertunity.

First come up with a business plan as this is a very competitive field.  The next thing is you will need to get an office space as this is not the type of business you could do home based unless it is a virtual temp agency where you place people that could work from home.  You would need to get people to sign up for your service.  Also you need to get employees to fill the spots that you obtain through companies.  Call small businesses and try to get them to sign up.  One niche would be to place employees in homebased businesses as this is hard for homebased business owners to find.  You also need to find out more about how to set up from the local SBA.  They will show you how to set up.

House cleaning. Look in the yellow pages for an idea of rates and then start your own business. It may be wise to take out insurance; this should not cost too much, and then you are ready. You make your own hours, you choose your clients-be selective, there are people that are not willing to pay the going rates, just weed them out. If your smart you can make a lot of money. Business cards of course, perhaps fliers, a professional business name, etc., I think you get the picture. Hope this helps

Hi I am a work from home mom and I just wanted to give you a few tips while you look. I would say 98% of the work from home jobs have a start up fee So if you can not find one that is free then try to find one that has a small start up fee. Check all of them out with the BBB before you put any money into them.Also find something that you believe in and that you can support this will make your job much easier and allot more fun Good Luck in your hunt Misty

My mom used to have her own business,it was a used furniture store,first she had to get a building,then she had to get the utlities on and the phone,and I believe she had to put a down payment on the building and pay the firsts months rent,and then she had to get a permit,then she started filling up the store.(some stuff she already had)She went to auctions,yard sales, and different places to get her stuff,she had furniture,glassware,tv's,vcr's,and odds and ends of stuff! Every thing that she sold,she put most of the money into buying more stuff. Put up a flashing sign in front of the store,put ads in the paper and make flyers to promote your buisness. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK!!!!

well for my small home business my wife has become the accountant , the bill collector  bill payer , the answering service. so this year we have outsourced our billing to a CPA. they now run the payment and the collection of fees owed. this has allowed the wife to work less and allow me to do what i am skilled in doing which is appraisal work. \n\nso depending upon what you are trying to accomplish here i would say anything that can be outsourced is feasible. find out how wide of a target market you want to attract. if you want to be some ones answering service then how many different clients do you want or do you want to specialize say for just private practice Dr offices. that way you don't have to learn every ones terminology for  hey i am on vacation here. \n\nfor me letting me do my job instead of being the chief of everything was a big relief.
