Home Based Business Ideas for Couples

Owning a business is the dream of many people.  in fact, statistics say that more and more people are seeking to get out of the 9-5 jungle and work for themselves from home.  Home based business ideas for couples are especially important because of the growing trend for families to have both parents working.  The time that parents are spending away from home really is robbing their families of precious time. That is one of the biggest reasons that I began my quest for finding a way to work from home. My wife and I have had several at home ventures during our marriage.  Some of these ventures weren't great ideas for us, but for someone else they would have been the perfect way to be able to stay at home.

Included in this article are the top 5 business ideas for couples.  Many of these will work for anyone.  Some of them will work for no one. Just kidding!  (that is one of the perks of being your own boss, you have to laugh at your own jokes...and so does your partner! haha) 

 

I've also set up a site which chronicles many opportunities for home based business ideas for couples.  I send out periodic emails with fresh and new ideas for couples who wish to have a home based business. Click the link below to be taken directly to my site:

Top 5 Business Ideas for Couples

1. A Home Catering Business. If you are a fan of the culinary world, then this is for you! Surprisingly, many local ordinances allow for people to cater from their homes without much red tape. Many times, all it takes is for an inspection of your home kitchen. Check with your local governing agency for more info.

2. A Home Pet Grooming Business. Pet lovers, this is for you! You can fit your garage or a back porch to service all of mankind's creatures. If you are a fan of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, then you have probably seen the episode where Mike was a pet groomer for a day. This episode took place in a woman's garage. She had everything that was needed to care for all the beloved pets that came through the door.

3. A Home Pet Sitting Business. This can go with the above idea where you can add a 'kennel' area to your pet care facility. You can also outsource yourself in that you go to the pet's home and care for them there. You can set your prices depending on where the pet lives in relation to your home. An offshoot of a pet sitting business is a pet walking business. This is especially great for the couple who has tween and teenage children...Get them involved in the family business!

4. A Home Based Bath and Body Product Business. This is a great business that if branded right and promoted properly can bring in a great full time income. Combining the old school methods of selling to your friends and family, going to craft shows and street fairs with the new school methods of internet marketing can make this business a great success!

5. A Home Based Childcare business. While not especially couple friendly, this business can prove very profitable and surprisingly flexible. You can fulfill some great niches here. Think about all of the times that people work. Sure, most people work during the day, but there are people that work all hours of the day. If you provide off hours childcare, you can charge a premium for your services. This is a great option if your area has many business/hospitals/etc that have many shift workers. In my area, we have a clinic/hospital that employs about 30,000 people. Since this is a 24 x 7 operation, the opportunities are nearly endless.

These top 5 home based businesses for couples are just a small sampling of the opportunities that are out there. I have set up a site that highlights many of the opportunities for home based businesses for couples. I send out a periodic email that delves deeper into ideas, outlining how to go about setting up your business. I do this all for FREE! So, if you are a couple (or part of a couple) that is looking for a home based business, don't wait one more second to go over to my site and sign up for my email list!

Bonus: A Home Based Business That You May Not Have Thought About

Some of the ideas in the previous section, you probably have thought of. They aren't normal business options, but they are some of the more common ideas that people think of when they think of home based businesses.

My primary business is something that a lot of people do not think about and that is direct sales. Many people wonder if it is possible to have a home based sales business. How do I know? People have asked me that very question time and again! There are many sales people from every walk of life that find themselves wishing that they could stay at home. It is possible to have a direct sales business from the comfort of your own home. I'm not into pushing or selling for that matter, but I do know that many people ask about this option. It is also an excellent option for a home based business for couples. One of the top income earners in my business is actually a couple that work together. They both have different strengths that work really well together.

If you're interested in learning more about what it is that I do, get in touch with me.
