1. How to start and expand your home business

Do you want to start your own business, from home or from a home base? Are you looking for ideas and support?

Or perhaps you already have a home business which you want to expand, by means of increased publicity, free services, freely-shared tips and information and reduced costs?

You can start your own home business with the help of The HBA. If you want to start working from home, but you are short of ideas, then you will find the Business Ideas factsheets especially useful. When you join The HBA, you can choose five of them from a list of 339 factsheets covering every type of business, from aromatherapy and accountancy to word processing and worm farming.

When you have started your business, or if you already have your own business, The HBA helps you to expand and manage it with free advice and free publicity.

Have you ever thought that successful home businesses must have some special knowledge or closely-guarded secrets? You may have wondered how they became successful.

Because if only you could find out, you could do the same in your home business.

Now you can. You can share this special knowledge 10 times a year - from 15 people who have proved which methods bring success because they run their own successful home businesses. They all write for The BOSS, the private journal for HBA members.

Join The HBA and you, too, will receive The BOSS ten times a year and have free access to advice from our team of experts and specialists.

2. Free advice and free publicity

As an HBA member you have 8 ways to get ongoing advice and publicity:

  1. Free business advice for startups and existing businesses
    There are a number of key HBA members who are happy to talk to and meet with other HBA members to offer their advice and share their experiences. The areas covered are too diverse to list here, so if you would like to use this service please contact us first so that we can put you in touch with the appropriate members. As always, our preferred method of communication is by email so that we can easily forward your request. Otherwise, a letter will do fine.

  2. Free editorial
    For the purposes or promoting yourself and your business, we cannot commend highly enough the editorial approach. You can have up to a page in The BOSS to write about yourself and your business. The mechanics of this are explained at the foot of the first page of "Intertrading" in each issue of The BOSS. We urge you to take advantage of this free service to bring yourself to the attention of other members and form a relationship with them. Our preferred method for this and all other communications is by email, or by email with a plain text attachment, or alternatively you can send a floppy disk in plain text format to our freepost address.

  3. Free updates
    Please use the pages of The BOSS to tell us of developments and changes in your business. This is a good way of ensuring that you are regularly brought in front of the rest of the membership. (Again, email/plain text if possible, please.)

  4. Free specialist accounting, legal, tax and internet advice
    You will find within the pages of The BOSS four specialist advice forums covering accounting, taxation, legal and internet issues. The submission of questions to these forums is a completely free service - see each issue of The BOSS for details of how to obtain this first level of advice. (Again, email/plain text if possible, please.)

  5. Discounts from other members
    Many HBA members offer discounts exclusivelyto other HBA members. It is therefore in your own interest to scour the "Intertrading" section of The BOSS and our website at www.homebusiness.org.uk/businesstobusiness.htm to see what savings can be made.

  6. Free publicity in Intertrading
    Likewise, if you have a product or service which you would like to offer to other HBA members on a preferred basis, we would be delighted to receive details for inclusion in the Intertrading section of The BOSS and on our website. (Again,the mechanics of this are explained at the foot of the first page of "Intertrading" in each issue of The BOSS.)

  7. Free publicity on this website
    Unless you specifically request otherwise, whatever you send us will automatically also be put up on the HBA website at www.homebusiness.org.uk which typically receives over 2,000 unique visitors a week.

  8. Free links from the HBA website
    If you wish to recommend any additional links from the HBA website, then please do call us to discuss.

Use these free tools to grow your business and support the HBA as a network of business people who profit by helping each other.
