Home Base Business Nigeria - The Structure
Home base business is the easiest kind of small business because your office is in your home. But this poses special challenges especially in Nigeria. What kind of challenges?
|
First, what part of your home do you intend to use?
Obviously, you can't use your bedroom. If you live in a large apartment, say, a 3 bedroom apartment, you may think of using your guest room.
But a guest room within a 3 bedroom apartment would mean that clients will walk through your sitting room and into the passage that leads to the guest room. Remember that this passage is shared by other rooms as well.
|
In simple terms, your business clients will be privy to your privacy and may even interfere with your family life. Not good enough.
There is the option of using your sitting room as office space where you attend to clients. But then, this depends on the kind of home business you run.
However you look at it, using your sitting room or any rooms within your home for your home business does not portray professionalism. Besides, do you really want to expose your home and family to strangers?
So, what's the solution?
|
Fortunately, in Nigeria a lot of houses are built with shops in front especially in non-affluent areas. Some home owners build the shops within the property premises and others along the fence of the compound. You can rent one of these shops as base of your home base business.
Next, who will manage your home base business? You, of course.
Well, that is if you don't already have a day job that eats up your time.
|
If you already have a day job that brings in regular income month after month, it will be unrealistic to abandon that for a home business that is yet to be proven to deliver return on investment month after month.
So, what options do you have?
Your wife can manage the business for you if she is a stay at home mom. But if she also has a day job, then the option left to you is to employ someone to manage the business for you.
Another challenge you will face is the challenge of
small business funding.
Most people with ideas for starting a small business never do because they're stuck with the fear of where to find the funds to actualize their dreams.
However, if you have the will, you will find a way.
