When it comes to UK home business ideas, opinions are ten a penny.

Here are a 5 proven home based business ideas you might want to consider:

1. Carpet Cleaning. Pick up any copy of Exchange and Mart and you are likely to read offers from people selling carpet and upholstery equipment.

Things to Consider:

Make sure you get liability insurance and do not even think of starting a carpet cleaning business without comprehensive training.

Wintertime. There will be a few months of each year when your work is likely to dry up.

Do your best to make sure you have a mixture of domestic and commercial clients - the commercial ones are more likely to still want their carpets cleaned in winter months.

2. Reprint Rights. Websites like ReprintRightsCentral.com can supply you with ready-to-sell business information products.

Things to Consider:

Make sure that your reprint rights package includes a lot of bonuses. The more bonuses you offer, the more products you will sell.

3. Subscription Websites. A subscription website is one where people pay you a monthly fee to access various downloads.

Things to Consider:

You might want to do a JV (joint venture) with someone who already understands how subscription websites work. Other than that, check out software like VisiongatePortal.com a software package specifically designed to help someone create and manage their own subscription based website.

NOTE: I use VisionGatePortal on several of my own membership websites and can highly recommend it.

Things to Consider:

Subscription websites are good because you can make great money with small numbers.

Imagine... 500 members paying you nineteen pounds a month!

4. Seminars. Do you have a special skill or knowledge that you can share with others? People will pay a small fortune to attend seminars.

Things to Consider:

If you are not seminar-material yourself, why not consider inviting someone who is to speak and you simply promote the event and take the profit from the attendance fees.

I have spoken at several events like that and each time both parties have made a considerable amount of money.

5. Business or Life Coaching. If you have proven experience in business, you will be pleased to hear that there is a huge market for good business coaching in the UK.

My own coach works from home and has clients all over the world.

Things to Consider:

If you can deliver the goods, business coaching is the perfect UK home business idea. It is both rewarding and exciting to help others reach their business goals.
