Are you planning to work part-time?

              When starting a business while working full time, you must choose a concept that lends itself well to part-time operation and meshes with your personal and job commitments. For example, if you work 9:00 to 5:00 in your full-time job, it’s probably not realistic to start a retail store that has to be open from 10:00 to 8:00. 

              However, with a few adjustments, many business concepts (even retail!) can be made to fit your needs. Take these factors into account when selecting your business idea:

 10 STARTUP IDEAS

                Looking for a business idea? The following businesses don’t need a commercial location and can easily be run from home. Any meetings with customers can take place in the early mornings, evenings or on weekends, at their homes or businesses.

 1. E-commerce website

 2. Tutoring service 

3. Children’s extracurricular activities (i.e., language, art or music lessons) 

4. Catering business 

5. Housecleaning/home services

 6. Personal training 

7. Interior decorating 

8. Writing/editing service 

9. Pet grooming

•  What days and hours do you currently work? Unless you can adjust your work schedule (for example, requesting an early morning shift so you have afternoons off), you’ll need a business you can operate outside your current work hours.
  
• What days and hours can you devote to your business? Consider personal commitments as well as job responsibilities. If you are single, childless and have nights and weekends free, you have more time to spend on a business. If you travel frequently for your job, work very long or unpredictable hours, or have a spouse and young children, you may need to start very small or find a business partner to help out.
•  Would your business require an outside location such as a store or office? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. For example, if you’re determined to start a retail store, you could enlist a partner who can run the store while you’re at work. However, choosing a business that can be run from home—at least at the beginning—will make your life a lot easier. If you’ve always wanted a retail store, you could start with an e-commerce site and add a physical location when your business goes full time.
•  When and where will customers or clients expect to meet with you? Businesses where most interaction with customers takes place over the phone or by email; at customers’ homes or places of business; or during the evenings, nights or weekends are ideally suited to part-time operation. Since customers won’t expect to meet with you during normal business hours, you can keep your day job.

Easy-to-start small businesses

 You can easily launch a small business with the right idea.

 

           Do you dream of being your own boss? If you want to start a business, but aren’t quite ready to give up your job and its accompanying security, salary and benefits, don’t worry; you don’t have to. Working full time doesn’t have to mean giving up on your entrepreneurial dreams. In fact, starting a business while working full time is a great way to test the waters of entrepreneurship and gradually grow your startup into a full-time business.

To find the perfect business, consider:

 1. Your skills and experience. Many people start businesses related to past jobs.

 2. Your interests and hobbies. Some entrepreneurs decide to change course entirely and start businesses based on their hobbies or personal interests

 3. Your personality traits. It’s important to select a business that fits you
