How To Find  A Legitimate Home Based Business
1.)  Products Or Services - The business model should have multiple products and services.  It is suggested that the products should never offer outrageous product claims. There are products that claim to cure diseases for an example.  Be wary of these product or service claims they usually are not in business long, and you as a owner can get in trouble for partnering with a company that makes these  falsified claims.  Every product has a target audience, it is suggested to go with multiple products to give you a larger target audience that would be interested in the benefits offered.  The more product ranges the more difficult it would be to falsify the product claims.
2.)  Retail Value - Never purchase just a money making opportunity  A legitimate home based business is not just about swapping money. There has to be a real product and service available.  In addition you have to be able to resell your products to your customer base. The company you are looking into should provide you with a retail center to sell all of your products and services as well if you want to resell the opportunity. The Internet is a mass resource, and has opened the door to be able to provide people an avenue to bring in an extraordinary income.  But don't fall for the company that sells just the dream, you need real products to make a solid income..
3.)  Monthly Fees -  A monthly fee is expected with any Internet opportunity.  They can range from 40.00 - 100.00 per month.  What you should be aware of is what happens if you miss a monthly payment?  Do you lose your products and services?  Many times an Internet opportunity will not allow you to use the products you purchased if you stop the monthly fee. When you joined your business you paid for complete rights to the products or  services, regardless if you miss a monthly fee you should never lose your product range. A legitimate home based business will never take away your products or your services from you.  If you purchased rights to those products they should be yours  to keep and utilize.
4.)  Get rich quick Schemes - Stay away from people who suggest that you will get rich within an unrealistic time frame.  Be realistic about  your game plan.  The first month you should want to recover any business expenses, and start profiting within your second month.  Stay away from those that claim you will make an outrageous amount in your first month.
5.)  Telephone Number - If the company telephone number is 900 number stay away from them.  Never will a legitimate home based business opportunity have a 900 number on their website.  Its also suggested their is a live voice behind the number.   Starting an Internet Business, without talking to someone is highly discouraged.
6.)  Free Business Information - You should never have to pay for information about the business.  If you are looking at partnering with an Internet Business do not pay for more information.  You should be offered the company information for free.
7.) Mentor and Trainer - Their are times when you will find a legitimate home based business, but the mentor or your trainer is the one who is not legitimate.  Make sure that you spend your time not only researching the opportunity but also researching the mentor or trainer that you will be partnering with.
8.) Investing In Your Internet Business - Starting an Internet Business is different then a work from home job.  An Internet opportunity is different then opening a coffee shop for an example, where it eliminates a high over head, however this is a real business structure.  There is always a capital expense that should be expected.  Compared to large capital expenses with a structural opportunity, Internet offers people a lower start up cost.   While you should never pay for a job to work from home, starting a business is different then a job.  Make sure you are clear as to what you may be putting capital towards, know if you it is claimed to be a job or a business that you can build over the Internet.
