HOME BASED BUSINESSES

MEETING THE CHALLENGES

Home based entrepreneurs are a phenomenon of modern Britain and this newly mobile enterprise-force need supportive systems to help them work efficiently and operate dynamic and professional businesses.

Today's growing numbers of homeworkers are contributing to enlivening our local neighbourhoods (they are around all day!), strengthening our local economies (they spend local!) and making serious environmental savings (they have cut out the commute!). Some of the challenges faced by home-based workers and entrepreneurs are listed here:

• The need for efficient and reliable broadband provision
• Commercial invisibility of home-based businesses
• Isolation from peers, networks and markets
• Lack of professional meeting and working spaces
• Lack of professional 'imagery' - home enterprises often perceived as amateurish and unprofessional
