I'm wondering how everyone here sets up thier business and benefits.
1. Do you work from home? If you work from an office do you own the building or rent it?
2. Do you buy your own health insurance? If yes, who through?
3. Do you have disability insurance?
4. How much do you spend per month on advertising or buying leads?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
I'll give you the answers to my own questions first.
1. I work my main business (funeral preplanning) from an office at the funeral home. The rest of my business I run from my home office but I feel that I will need to establish an office to get real credibility with the public and grow (I'd like to hear opinions about that.) I bought a building in a great location a few months ago but it will need heavy remodeling to look good. Plus I have a renter in it and it is cash flowing nicely with no remodeling needed because it's currently a welding shop.
2. Health insurance is currently through wife's employment but I would like to change that. She is a CPA and also just passed her life and health test and would like to go independent.
3. We don't have disability coverage but have been planning to buy it for the last 5-years. Who is a good company to look at?
4. I spend less than $1,000 per month on leads. I'm not sure how to advertise for the non-funeral products yet. I feel that advertising drives them to your location and a home office doesn't cut it. Am I completely off base on this?
