If you're looking for home business ideas to make extra money during the recession or to give you an income after a job loss, chances are good that you need an idea that doesn't require a lot of start-up investment. Fortunately, there are many small business ideas that don't need much initial outlay of cash. One of the best home business ideas that requires little investment is a tutoring business. If you have a teaching degree or expertise in a particular subject, this idea is especially suited to you, but anyone with a good education and patience can be a successful tutor. You can work as an independent contractor for a tutoring service or advertise online and at local schools and keep the entire fee yourself. Most tutors charge between $15 an hour (for less experienced tutors and in areas with a low cost of living) to $50 an hour (for more experienced tutors and in urban areas). Tutoring businesses are ideal for people who like to work in the afternoon or evenings, because most tutoring is done outside of school hours. A cleaning service is another of the best inexpensive home business ideas. All you have to pay for is advertising and business cards, cleaning supplies and insurance. You can specialize in cleaning private homes or offices, or do both, and if you do a diligent job relatively efficiently you can earn a good profit. A cleaning business is ideal for people who like to be active and want to work for themselves. The cleaning field is crowded, but a lot of services leave their clients unsatisfied so if you know how to clean properly and efficiently you can do very well in this industry. Begin on your own or with a single partner and if your business takes off you can hire more cleaners in order to service more clients. If you know how to do computer support, this is one of the very best home business ideas, since people really need their computers and won't tolerate problems for very long. An independent computer support person usually charges about forty dollars per hour for phone support and about ninety dollars per hour to come to your home or business. You can start this business for the cost of an ad in the phonebook, a website and some business cards, and be up and running within a couple of weeks. Once again, doing a good job at this will ensure a steady flow of business very quickly. You can work for businesses or individuals and make your own hours, and this profession is much more lucrative when operated as your own business than it is if you work for someone else. Finally, consider one of the other home business ideas you can start quickly, like website design, invitation printing, party planning, gift baskets, freelance writing, college admissions counseling, or pet sitting. There are numerous home business ideas you can start quickly without a large initial investment.
