During the start up phase of your home business, one of the greatest concerns is the amount of cash that you’ll need to offset operating expenses. The type of business that you have will determine your operating costs during the beginning stage of your business. For any type of home business the single most important and possibly the most expensive thing will be advertising.

You should start the advertising before you even begin taking orders, unless you’re involved in a service-directed business. Then, by the time you officially open your home business, you can have enough potential income to offset the initial set up costs. In some businesses such as freelance writing, editing, copywriting, and similar types of service-oriented businesses, the initial set up costs may be minimal if you already have the equipment you need in place before you begin your business. With other types of businesses you may have the added expense of an operating license, certification tests, special software, telephone, fax, inventory, advertising, packaging for mailing, and other costs.

Of course, if you already have the equipment in place for the type of home business you’re starting, your initial operating cost is reduced. Don’t invest in updated equipment that you don’t need at this point. Instead, use your money for promotional and advertising tools.

Once you’re through the beginning stages of your home business you will want to put as much money as possible back into your business until you have all of the equipment that you need to operate efficiently. If you have a freelance business in graphic arts, for instance, you must have updated computer equipment that is no more than a couple of years old. So take the early profits to upgrade your system so that you can work faster rather than longer to reach your goals. If your business requires the use of the Internet, and you don't already have a high-speed connection, you should get that into place before you start your home business.

If your home business is service oriented, especially one that requires you to work at someone's else’s home, such as home repair, remodeling or new home construction, you need to consider insurance to cover any accidental damage as well as insurance for yourself in the event of an injury on the job. Insurance is a must when you are running your own home business.

So, take into consideration all the aforementioned things when figuring out your home business operating costs. As your business grows, you will have more money to reinvest into it as your profits grow.
