What percentage of all businesses on the internet are home based?

Answer 1

I've found out that nearly 9% of all businesses in the United States are actually registered as home-based. 9%, that's a whole lot of people working from home. And most interesting too is the fact that out of that 9% nearly 7.5% are internet home based businesses.

Operating a home-based business can give you the best of both worlds. Like all small business owners, you enjoy the satisfaction of being your own boss and being the person who makes the decisions. But if you run your business out of your home, you also enjoy the benefits of being able to work flexible hours, of not having to commute, and certain tax advantages. In theory, you can run a successful business out of your home and have the flexibility to be there for your family, spending more time with your children or arranging your work schedule around your family's needs. Starting any business requires planning and soul-searching, but there are particular aspects of your business' operations that need to be considered carefully before you start a home-based business.

Like any other business person, you need to set up your business legally. You will have to choose a form of business (such as a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation), and register your business name, if your business has a name other than your own.
