What are the disadvantages to working at home in a home-based business?
Some of the main disadvantages to working at home are: not having health benefits, or not having them paid by an employer; if you get sick you usually still have to work, since if you are not working, you are not earning any money; isolation from other working people; it’s sometimes difficult to leave the work undone; people think you have a lot of free time because you work from home; income can be variable; your social life may become reduced or nonexistent; you usually have to pay for all your own business equipment.
