This is the second of 11 posts in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/start-new-home-based-business\/\"><strong>HostGator Home Business Guide<\/strong><\/a> series. Last time we covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/be-your-own-boss-interview-yourself\/\">questions to ask yourself about running a business<\/a>. Now, we\u2019ll talk about getting your home ready for your new business.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #cc6631;\"><a style=\"color: #cc6631;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/HostGator-Ebook-Guide-To-Launching-Your-Home-Business.pdf\"><strong>Get the FREE eBook: Launch Your New Home Business!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1. Make room to work at home<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the very least, you\u2019ll need a place to use your computer for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/18\/smart-ways-to-update-your-stale-website\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website updates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, marketing, billing, and other tasks. If you make products, you\u2019ll need space to do that, too. If you can set aside a room in your home just for work, you may be able to deduct some household expenses on your federal income taxes. (Talk to your CPA about this; we\u2019ll talk in future posts about choosing service professionals.) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, your workspace has a door you can close so family members, roommates, and pets know when you\u2019re working. A solid-core interior door is a splurge (or investment) that can cut down on noise from the rest of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Find storage space for your small business<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you sell physical goods, you\u2019ll need room to store them, space to package them for shipping, and room for shipping supplies and a postage scale. As tempting as it may be to use your garage for storage, proceed carefully. Bugs, dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations can damage your stored items. If your water heater is in the garage and it leaks or bursts, anything stored on the floor will be water-damaged. If you must use the garage, keep your stored items in airtight containers and off the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For small business owners who plan to see clients at home, you\u2019ll need a professional looking space to host them. The ideal is a separate entrance to your home office or a detached office in a separate building like a converted shed or garage. (You can get inspired-and lose several hours of your life-browsing through the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/home-office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home office ideas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Houzz.) You\u2019ll also want to make sure visiting clients have a convenient place to park.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Plan your mini-infrastructure and some backups<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s nothing like the freedom of working for yourself-until there\u2019s a tech problem and no one from IT comes to fix it for you. For website issues, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/support.hostgator.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HostGator\u2019s support team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0can help you sort things out quickly. For internet access issues, it\u2019s very important that you have reliable service <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a reliable backup plan in case of an outage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, I almost never use the mobile hotspot option or the rolled-over data on my smartphone, but they were priceless on the day when a neighbor accidentally took down internet service to half of my subdivision with a poorly placed fencepost hole. I was able to connect my laptop to my phone, burn through some of that rollover data, and meet my deadlines until service was restored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also wise to think now about other places where you can work if there\u2019s a utility outage, noisy construction, or another major interruption at home. Your local library, coffee shops, rent-by-the-day co-working spaces, or work-at-home friends\u2019 houses may all be options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Find family support<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you live alone, you\u2019ll have to prevent and deal with interruptions from housemates or family members. You can establish regular times when you\u2019re 'not available'\u009d even if you\u2019re at home, or you may simply decide that when your workspace door is shut, you need to be left alone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is very important if you have phone or video chats with your clients. Nothing casts doubt on your professionalism quite like seeing your housemate stroll by in pajamas or hearing kids arguing in the background. In my experience, it\u2019s easier to carefully plan the timing and location of your calls than it is to corral people who are used to doing their thing at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Look into child and elder care<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s possible to build a viable business from home while caring for your children or parents, but doing it all yourself makes everything much harder than it has to be. The consensus among experienced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.romper.com\/p\/6-ways-childcare-is-so-much-more-complicated-when-you-work-from-home-6912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work at home parents is to get childcare help<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on a regular basis so you always have some time when you can concentrate fully on your work. Mother\u2019s day out programs for kids and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/ind\/adult-day-care\">adult day programs for seniors<\/a> give your family members time out of the house while you work. If money\u2019s very tight, consider hiring a teen with babysitting experience and Red Cross first aid training to work as a mother\u2019s helper in your home a few hours a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6. Plan for pet antics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">'Let sleeping dogs lie'\u009d is great advice unless you\u2019re about to be on a call or in a meeting. Then you should wake them up, give them some special chew toys, and move them outside or to another room. I learned this the hard way when my three napping dogs heard a squirrel outside my home-office window, jolted awake, and made a loud off-topic contribution to a six-person conference call I was leading for a client. Keyboard-perching cats, hollering parrots, and DSL-cable-gnawing bunnies need corralling while you work, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7. Figure out how much money you\u2019ll need to begin<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be reading these tips while mentally tallying the cost of implementing them, which is smart. Starting a small business doesn\u2019t have to cost a lot, but it\u2019s not free. Here are some basics you may need funds for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">computer equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">internet connections (main and backup)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">web site hosting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">office furniture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">packaging and shipping supplies <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raw materials or wholesale goods<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">care for your kids, parents, and\/or pets<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need a local business permit, professional liability insurance, and business cards. We\u2019ll talk about those expenses in more detail in a future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/start-new-home-based-business\/\"><strong>HostGator Home Business Guide<\/strong><\/a> post on setting up your business entity and bank account.
