Whether you’re tired of the same 9-to-5 grind, you see a gaping hole in the market, or you’ve always dreamed of being your own boss, starting your own home-based estate sale business is an attractive venture.

It tickles your entrepreneurial spirit and has a huge upside for your work/life balance, mental health, and financial situation.

If you’re still on the ropes of owning a home-based business, here are some of the many benefits that are guaranteed to sway you toward the wonderful world of self-employment.

Home-Based Estate Sale Business Benefits

Schedule Flexibility

There’s no more “regular working hours” when it comes to owning a home-based business.  Work at night, work during the day, or work whenever you want. The only caveat is that you’re there when clients need you.

Because of this scheduling flexibility, you can discover the ideal work/life balance, spend more time with your family, take up a new hobby, or invest your free time back in the estate sale business. That’s the freedom you won’t find as someone’s employee.

Estate Sale Home-Based Business Tax Benefits

Like a brick-and-mortar store, a home-based estate sale service business generally has some great tax benefits. Some of your tax deductions can include:

• The square footage used of your home office.
• Mortgage interest.
• Internet, phone, and other telecommunication expenses.
• Home office supplies and expenses.
• Home insurance.
• Home maintenance.

As with any tax situation, make sure to consult a tax professional. But chances are you’ll find quite a bit of tax savings with your home-based business.

Less Commuting

According to a 2017 U.S. Census Bureau study, the average American commute is 26.9 minutes one-way and 53.8 minutes round trip. This translates to roughly 10 days a year spent behind the wheel or on public transit on your way to work.

With a home-based estate sale business, you can spend the majority of those hours getting work done at your business, meaning more growth, more productivity, and more profitability.

As a Grasons Co estate sale franchise owner your service area is defined, limiting the amount of time you spend commuting to get things done.

Increased Productivity

Going hand-in-hand with no commuting is increased productivity. However, enhanced productivity goes far beyond the commute. When you aren’t bogged down with menial jobs, endless meetings, and other busy work, you can focus on the most important tasks for your estate sale business.

From finding new clients to building local brand awareness, and making new connections with referring sources, you can put your effort and time where you need it most.

As a Grasons Co estate sale business owner, we provide you with a road map and all the training you need to help you grow your business.

Reduced Overhead

Another monetary advantage of owning a home-based business is a massive reduction in overhead costs. Instead of paying for utilities, rent/mortgage, and other expenses at both home and an office, you cut the bill in half.

If you hire estate sale service employees, you also don’t have to pay for a desk, computer, and other supplies. Your labor costs are exactly that! Labor during the times you’re setting up, organizing, and holding an estate sale.

Owning a home-based business is a new chapter in your life that puts the reins firmly in your hands. With all of the benefits, the only regret you might have is not starting one sooner.
