How to Start Your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Business
- 1). Set up an office in your home. If you don't have space to designate a whole room to your bookkeeping business, set up a small corner in your living room, kitchen or bedroom.
- 2). Purchase all required office supplies, including a computer with bookkeeping software, pens, pencils, notepads, a calculator, stapler, extra staples and paper clips.
- 3). Apply for a business license and anything else required by your local government at your local county clerk office to start your own in-home bookkeeping business.
- 4). Design or purchase business stationery for your in-home bookkeeping business. Business cards are your best advertising material. Professionally designed stationery can also help promote your business when sending query letters, invoices and other mailings.
- 5). Advertise your in-home bookkeeping business in your local newspaper and Pennysaver. Send query letters to local businesses that might be interested in your services, and hang fliers on message boards in office buildings.
