how do i write a research paper on the failure and success for a home-based business?
The reason for me to choose this particular topic was due to when I recently wrote a informational essay paper on how to operate a small home-based business so I figure I would stay in that particular area and write a persuasive essay instead. Can you please just give me some concrete pointers? Thanks in advance.
I have written a lot about home-based businesses.
But if I were to write a research paper, I would start with data on home businesses. Start with the Bureau of Census data, specifically the Characteristics of Business Owners Survey , which offers data on home-based businesses. http://www.census.gov/csd/cbo/
Then check out academic studies on the failure rates of businesses. SBA has a study entitled "Redefining Busines Success: Distinguishing Between Failure and Success" by Brian Headd that looked at the characteristics that result in better chances of survival. The study also looked at the factors that were characteristics of closure. One of the factors the study considered is whether being home-based can contribute to the success or failure of a business — and they found it as a positive factor that could help a business succeed. You can read about the study at http://www.sba.gov/advo/stats/bh_sbe03.pdf
Then check out various sites that focuses on information on home businesses (not the sites that pitch about what home business you should do).
Please type "Home Based Business" into your Yahoo! search box and you will be amazed at the volume of resources that will be available to you.

I would check with these resources:
* The small business administration may point you to resources or programs that offer advice to help new business owners
* The Grameen Foundation in Dallas Texas mentors new business owners in forming a development plan, in order to qualify for microlending. Also Microbusiness USA in Florida.
* There are private groups that focus on supporting "Black Entrepreneurs" etc. Can you find out some groups like these and ask their advice?
* Other popular authors and resources: Dave Ramsey on avoiding credit pitfalls; "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" on how every business is basically a "real estate" deal where your overhead has to be less than your incoming revenue.
