How To Compose a Home Based Business Model

The home-based business model explains just how a business expects to make money and how it is positioned within the value chain. A traditional retailer s business model will assume

that the retailer can purchase the correct goods at a discounted price and sell them for a mark-up to make a profit.

The model will also project a specific amount of foot traffic and what the revenue per customer will be. A poorly thought out business model can be the downfall of a business, especially a small, home-based business.

The business model design should include the modeling and description of the company s value propositions, target customer segments, distribution channels, customer relationships and value configurations.

Also included should be the company s core capabilities, partner network, cost structure and

revenue model. If you are seeking out finances for your business, it is important that you have a well-structured business model.

This business model will show potential lenders a few things about you and your business. First, it will show just how serious you are about your new business venture. It will also show potential lenders how well your business may prosper. Lenders do not want to take on a high risk like a new small home based business without knowing that there is an actual need for what the business is providing.

There are many professionals available to help you write your business model for a fee, but in the long run of things, it may be the best money you spend to get your business up and off the ground.
