“Can I Afford to Start a Home Based Business?” – Barbara P. from Washington

Starting a home-based business is definitely something you can afford to do as long as you do your research and make smart decisions on how your start-up costs should be spent.  Direct sales companies are a great way to start a home-based business because you only need the basics to get started. 

They make it easy for you to calculate your start-up costs and purchase a special kit or program that will give you all the most popular products, business supplies and literature you will need.  These kits are usually highly discounted from the retail price to help keep start-up costs to a minimum.  You will also want to ask your mentor(s) for advice before making large inventory or big purchases for your new business.
