Abstract
It is well known that small businesses, sole traders and the self-employed form the backbone of the economy. What is less appreciated is that more than half of these businesses operate in, or from, the home. The Scottish Government estimates that 56% of businesses in Scotland are home-based. This report provides the first ever profile of home-based businesses in Scotland; revealing that home-based businesses account for 17% of all private sector employment and almost 10% of private sector turnover in Scotland. The report is based on a survey of the Scottish membership of the Federation of Small Businesses.
