economist Richard Cantillon.This term first appeared in the French
Dictionary "Dictionnaire Universal de Commerce" of Jacques des Bruslons
published in 1723. Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to a person who

1. Why should I start home
based business?
• The real question is why should I not start
my own business?
• What if, a business could use your service or
skill with about having to pay all the
additional cost?
• What if, multiple businesses used your skill
or service without having to pay all additional
cost?
- 16. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
2. Am I ready to start a
business?
• Do you have a skill that people will pay
to use?
• Do you have a hobby that people will
pay you to do for them?
• Do you have a new idea that to make
life easier for people?
• The fact is, if they’re not doing it
themselves, they’re paying someone to
do it, why not you?
• Most people feel that a startup business
has to replace their income. This is not
true.
- 17. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved

are;
1. Research!
2. Research!
3. Research!
- 20. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
5. What Do I Sell?
• The real question is, what product
or service can you do that people
are already paying for?
• If they are already paying for it why
can’t they pay you for the same
product or service?
• If you’re good at what to do,
• you take pride in your work,
• you get your work done when you say you will and
you charge a fair price,
• why should they not want to pay you for your
product or service
- 21. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
6. How much should I
charge?
• The first and most important factor
is how much are people already
paying for the same product or
service.
• You should have gotten this
information in your research process.
• The next important factor is how
much can you afford to do it for
and still make it worth your while.
• Just because people pay you to do
something doesn’t mean that you’re
actually making money.
- 22. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
6. How much should I
charge?
1. How much money do you want to
make?
2. How much time do you plan to spend in
your business?
3. How much are people already paying
for your product or service?
- 23. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
6. How much should I charge?
• The following is a very basic calculation to get an idea of how to
figure out what to charge
• You would like to make $10,000 dollars this year
• You plan on spending 10 hours a week
• 10 hours per week X 52 weeks = 520 hours
• Divide $10,000 hours X 520 hours =
• $19.23 or about $20 per hour
• This is a good estimate of what you need to charge for your
service or product
- 24. © 2012 CAPBuilder Network Group All rights reserved
7. How much will it cost to start my
business?
• There are a number of
standard cost to legally set up
a business.

spend to buy the other items
that will be needed are
