Start a Business

I am a single mother of 2 young children and I am trying to start a home-based business. I am unable to work outside the home because I would not be able to afford the childcare costs. I am trying to build a business making, marketing, and selling handmade soaps and candles. I need this money to help with living costs while I am building the business as well as providing for inventory, equipment, and marketing costs.

I understand how you feel. I'm a mother of one three month old daughter. I have just taken to selling Avon to help get some money together so I can open an in home day care. I've been researching all types of online jobs that I can do with no start up or up keep costs. So far I think most of it is going to be bunk. You could try finding your equipment and other items at e-bay. I've heard that a lot of that stuff isn't selling for very high prices at the moment. You could also look into making a webpage for sales and contacting different companys like google about putting ads on your site. They pay you for putting the ads on the site.

Hello, By browsing and searching the AidPage, you will be able to find what federal programs are available for you. Since you plan to start a small business, you may want to see what grants and loans are available for startups. Even if you do not find grants directly related to starting a home-based business, there are resources for women-enterpreneurs and maybe they will be the right choice for you. Check the links in the next section, please.
