Certification for Women Home Based Business Owners

Women home based business owners should strongly consider certifying their company as a woman-owned and operated business. Why? Becoming a certified woman-owned and operated business opens a number of doors for bigger and long-term contracts from the government and large corporations.

Certification for women home based business owners is the response of the government for the ears of discrimination against minorities. It allows for bidding and approval processes to be more fair all around. Many companies and government departments have a certain number of contracts that they must award each year to minority owned businesses. This certification for women home based business owners means that you will increase your chances of being chosen for better and higher paying projects.

Women home based business owners should not balk at the opportunity to obtain business from bigger markets. Certification for Women Home Based Business owners has contributed to the 48% of revenues that certified women business owners receive from large corporate contracts.

If certification for women home based business owners is something you are considering, understand that there are different types of certification from both private organizations and public agencies. You will need to look into what type is the best for your business. For instance the Women's Business Enterprise National Council and the National Women's Business Owners Corporation are two private agencies that assist with certification.

State and local governments will also help with certification for women home based business owners. Each state and local government, though, has different procedures, so you should check with your own state or locality for more information. The Federal government's certification for women home based business owners is complicated, and you do not need to be woman-certified to bid for any federal contract. However, you can self-certify and run and list it for free. There are other certifications available for minority owned businesses, so check with the Central Contractor Registration to determine which is best for your business.

Best Home Based Business for Women

Women everywhere are looking for a home based business that will enable them to spend quality time raising their children, but also bring in extra income. Many times they will try direct sales such as Avon or Mary Kay but although there are a few that make a good income this way, the majority won't be able to make a career out of it.

What if there was a home based business for women that could do it all:

• Offer Quality Family Time
  
  
  
  


• Bring in a very good income
  
  
  
  


• Give the kids a built in job as they're growing older
  
  
  
  


• AND....be FUN!
  
  
  

Well, the Party Rental Business offers all this and more. And more and more women are starting their own companies each and every day.

Start up can be fairly easy. You need a couple of moonbounces, a vehicle, a phone number, insurance and standard business start up tools. And since most people already have a vehicle, we're talking a very low start up cost.

Moonbounces used to be around $3500.00 each, but due to the heavier manufacturing that came about a year or so ago, you can get a moonbounce for less than $1000.00.

Advertising is simple...set it up and let your kids and their friends play....and you'll be well on your way to a successful business.

But, the moonbounces rent from $85.00 to $250.00 per day (depending on the part of country where you live), so your units pay for themselves with just a few rentals. And moonbounces are just the beginning!

Although you'll probably just want a couple of pieces while you have toddlers, as the kids grow...your business can grow as well.

You can add "fun foods" like snow cones & cotton candy, water slides, interactive inflatable games, obstacle courses, carnival games and more. You can branch out from back yard birthday parties and start doing church events, festivals, school & college events and corporate picnics.

The best part about the party rental business is that you'll grow as big as you want. And as your kids grow, they'll be able to help you with your rentals. Not to mention, they may want to expand the business themselves. Many teens have great ideas about new ways to grow the business.

So, when you're looking for a home based business opportunity that will grow with your family, party rentals is the way to go!

Women = Greater ROI

40 years ago, it would have been rare to find women running, much less owning their own businesses in Australia. In fact, if we look at my career choice, to be a Trade Commissioner for Australia, it would actually have been impossible!

Fortunately times have changed, at least in Australia with women currently running about 1/3rd of Australia's 1.9 million small businesses, and almost 50% of the home-based businesses (which is also one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy). And again, if we look at my career choice in the public service, women hold around 36% of senior executive positions.

But we still have much to do when compared to some other countries like Norway, USA and the UK. In the US surveys show that 89% of companies on the S&P 500 have at least 1 woman on the board and 64% have more than one. In the UK the figures are closer to 77% of FTSE 100 companies having at least 1 woman.

Yet similar figures for Australia show only about 29% of boards have at least one female (top 500 companies). And worse, for our top 200 listed companies women represent 8% of Board members, 6% of CEO's and only 2% of Chairpersons.

This despite the fact that surveys abound that show a businesses financial performance is usually greater with female management, than without. Specifically, a Catalyst report used by Barclay's shows that companies with the highest female representation on their senior management teams enjoyed a 34% higher return on equity than those with the lowest representation.

34% higher return on investment

There is no better business case for us to encourage more women into business.

But we are often our own worst enemies. Surveys, prior to the global financial crisis, from people like the Women's Enterprise Task Force in the UK noted that women frequently cite a lack of confidence as reasons for lower risk appetites, lower debt and slower, more consultative decision-making processes. Well in the post GFC period, lower risk profiles, more collaborative working styles and lower debt all seem like strengths to me, not weaknesses.

Yet that lack of confidence thing is something only we, ourselves can address. it holds us back and holds back our economic future. We need to be aware of it and how it translates on our ability to do business. I recently read a quote by Dr Rebecca Harding of the London School of Economics where she said: "Women cannot always sell their business ideas well to male investors. Women have a lower expectation of how their business is going to grow, even when they are very high powered. Women are far more risk aware, frightened that things will go wrong and frightened of flying too close to the sun".

I don't know if that ever rings true for you, but for me, in the times when I doubt myself I try to remember the fact that I can make a difference - at least a 34% difference.

Here are some of the small businesses that a woman can start up:

3. Cooking - You can start a bakery out of your kitchen

4. Baby sitting - You can get a certification from your state that allows you to run a daycare out of your home. This is so you can watch a larger number of children. Otherwise, you can have several kids staying within your home while their parents are at work.
