TECHNOLOGY
The single most important factor that allows Home Based Businesses
to compete with bigger business and appear to be working on a level
playing field, is the internet. Most Home Based Businesses use
email extensively (so much cheaper than ordinary mail) and many
have developed their own websites. Many research via the internet,
do internet banking and book flights etc.
Technology such as computers; scanners; printers; photocopiers;
digital cameras; ADSL or broadband; faxes; mobiles; VOIP etc are
now priced so that the Home Based Business operator can afford
them.
All of this allows for professional outcomes and cuts the cost
of having to outsource a lot of the work. Time is also saved by not
having to travel from one supplier (or customer) to another.
However the difficulty of acquiring the skills to use this
technology (or finding someone who can offer affordable support)
remains a very real problem.
