Chapter 6: Put Everything In Place For Having Employees
Synopsis
Most home businesses start out with just the individual working through the business and only when some real money is being made does the person then consider adding on other to assist in the business.
Get Ready
This assistance may come in the form of getting others to operate the business on an expansion platform but from their own premises, but if this is not the case then the individual would have to consider expanding the business premise within his or her own current work space.
This could to be rather challenging in some cases but with a little careful planning and thought it can be comfortably achieved.
The following are some tips and areas to consider that ensures the employees stay focused and are comfortable:
Keeping the general environment as professional as possible is perhaps one of the key issues that should be dealt with from the very beginning.
Designing a work area that is separate from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding home environment is important. This is the main element to consider as it can be vary distracting for the new employees to have non work related disturbances constantly apparent and present.
Having such distractions can seriously interfere with the level of concentration and commitment the employees put into the work process of the day.
With the relevant space being identified and allocated, the next step would be to consider the comforts of the employees. A comfortable work space will encourage better levels of productivity.
Ensuring all the supporting equipment is in place will also help to generate the desired level of work production percentages. If the general budget permits the equipment chosen should not be shared by several employees as this too would eventually affect the efficiency of those working together.
Having to wait around until someone else is finished with the particular piece of equipment would not only be a waste of time and resources, it could also eventually end up frustrating the employee.
Chapter 7: Develop An Exit Strategy
Synopsis
Almost everyone who decides to go into the home business style of earning an income, often forgets to take into consideration the strategies that should be in place should the individual decides to call it quits and close the business.

When It’s Time To Go

In doing so, the company will be able to deplete its current healthy revenue reserves and direct them into the coffers of the owner, thus creating a viable and quick exit when the time is right.
Another form often utilized and is not really messy or complicated is the liquidation process. This style is used, when the home business owner has simply decided that enough is enough, and wants to close the business without any fuss.
In this scenario the individual would just literally close the doors on the business and after paying off any creditors and other shareholders, putting up the equipment for sale if any, whatever balance left would be considered rightly his or hers.
There would be no or minimal negotiations involved and certainly no lengthy time consuming processes to adhere to. There would also be no need for legalities such as transfer of control or redistribution of shares if the business was solely owned by one individual.
