Home-Based Business Ideas that Work

If you have the itch to work from home but not as an employee, how about checking out StartupNation’s Top 100 Home-based Businesses? These are not mere business ideas but actual home-based businesses organized into ten categories including Best Financial Performers, Yummiest, and Most Slacker-Friendly.

According to StartupNation, “Home-based businesses represent approximately 50% of all businesses registered in America. The home is not only a common first frontier for entrepreneurs to start up their dream business, but in many cases it’s their preferred location on an ongoing basis.”

Some of the more interesting home-based businesses in the list include worm composting information and supplies (that means worms!), canine couture, and Italian culinary adventures.
