Your home-based business is part of a massive piece of the US economy, more than you might realize. Whether you work from home as a freelancer, a seller on Amazon, a caterer, an online retailer or any one of a number of other careers, you’re one of 38 million home-based businesses in the US alone. Not all of these are small-time businesses, either, as 20% of home-based businesses make $100K-$500K per year. With this type of money going through home businesses, it’s important to keep one thought in mind: Is everything safe? You might not have thought of securing your home-based business the way you would a business in a formal office or another building, but you should. Here are some valuable ways that you can keep your business protected at home.
