Moving Your Home and Home Business? 3 Tips for Your Move
3 Helpful Hints for Entrepreneurs Launching a Business and Moving House at the Same Time
Entrepreneurship can exhaust even the most stalwart
personalities — and working in a substandard or too-small space can make a
home-based business endeavor unnecessarily difficult. If you’ve decided to move
into a larger home that will host both your family’s life and your business,
trust Fred Amendola to take care of the home buying (and selling) process for
you from start to finish — call (814) 882-4100. Also, take the following three
hints into consideration as you choose a new house and complete your relocation.
1. Consider Starting an Online Business Degree Program
It’s somewhat of a cultural myth to start a business as a self-made man or woman. People
tend to take pride in the idea of throwing themselves into entrepreneurship
knowing nothing and simply learning the ropes from experience. This approach
does work for some — especially those who tend to learn on the job and do not
do well in a traditional classroom.
If you’re an entrepreneur who does enjoy book learning,
consider either starting or finishing a business degree program in an online space. Flexible degree programs offer you the
opportunity to attend school and work at the same time. Prepare to deepen your understanding of auditing, business practices, accounting and reading financial
statements. Depending on your goals and level of previous education, either an
MBA or a business certificate may be the correct choice for you.
2. Check Your Local Laws and Homeowners’ Association
Regulations
When you’re assessing new neighborhoods for their location
and availability, think about the type of business you plan to launch and ask
yourself whether the neighborhood is suited to a home-based business. Consider
that very few neighbors would appreciate your clientele parking on the street,
bringing animals to your residence or causing excess noise and traffic in the
neighborhood.
As every home-based business is unique, you will have to
assess your business’s potential for irritating your neighbors. Consult your
realtor if you have questions about specific areas or homes, and learn more
about the permits and licenses you need to run a business out of your home.
Familiarize yourself with tax perks involved in operating a
home-based business as well. According to the IRS, you may have the option of
filing for a home office deduction for the square footage of your home-based office, your
office equipment and electronics and any other major purchases necessary for
your work.
3. Prepare Yourself for a Different Work Life
If you’ve worked from home before and you know you love it,
then you’re all set to make this major decision of starting a home-based small business. Focus on what you will need to juggle your
business launch as well as your upcoming move.
If you have never worked from home and you have the option
to stay in an office, consider that your life will change drastically before
you make the physical move. Consider downloading time-management and other productivity apps, creating schedules for yourself to stay on task and
communicating with employees or team members about scheduling changes or
holding virtual meetings.
Working from home has major benefits, including tax credits, the ability to control your work environment and the chance to spend more time with your family. Once you sort out the details of how you launch your business from home and subsequently spend the majority of your work hours there, you are ready to take the next step and move into a house that accommodates your home-based business.
