Home business opportunities

If you would like to start your own business but just don’t have an idea of what that business could be, why not consider a home business franchise/party plan opportunity. Emma Jones of Enterprise Nation sets out the options.

Franchise/party plan/consultant
Home business opportunities come in a number of guises but what they all offer is the beauty of being your own boss, with the support of a central team. Skincare products company, Arbonne International sums it up well with their line “You’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself.”

Here are eight of the opportunities on the market:

Jamie at Home - a party plan opportunity that involves “going to parties to help non-cooks choose great kit while introducing those who already know their stuff to a range of beautiful things for their home”. Consultants earn commission on everything that’s sold at their home parties and receive full support and training from the central HQ team. www.jamieathome.com

Pampered Chef - a direct seller of kitchen tools where consultants host parties to sell the tools at in home cooking shows and earn a commission on sales. www.pamperedchef.co.uk

Girlie Gardening - turn a passion for the great outdoors into extra income to spend indoors by becoming a party planner for Girlie Gardening. Consultants host parties and distribute catalogues to sell products including gloves and garden gift sets. www.girliegardening.com

Avon - is the biggest direct selling beauty company in the world with over 5 million representatives. In the UK Avon has an army of sales reps that’s bigger than our armed forces. That’s because Avon offers an opportunity to work hours that suit and an income that pleases. www.avon.com

VIE at home - sell cosmetics to friends and family. No experience is required but once started and as sales build, many consultants choose to make their VIE at home business a full-time career. www.vieathome.com
