Home-based biz owners optimistic

Home-based business owners believe they are better placed to weather the economic conditions than their larger counterparts, a new survey has found. More than 70% self-employed, home-based entrepreneurs say they will be able to grow or maintain their current level of trading activity, research from insurers RSA suggests. A third of respondents were positive about business potential, while 40% thought that conditions were normal. Only 8% considered growth out of the question. Over three-quarters confirmed they would start a business again.
