Running a home based business is a lot of work, so if you are in this for the long term business you will want to create a home office from which you can work. This might be a box you keep in the end of the china hutch and spread out on your dining room table, or it might be a fully converted guest bedroom or garden shed.
The important element is that you have everything you need, and the area is suited to your work.
I will add more details to this page, give ideas on creating your own home based office, but for now I am going to post it as it is so I can add additional pages under this one that are connected to the things you will need to have handy for your home office – such as how to keep sales records for taxes and stuff, pricing your work and other office type stuff.
