New service for home based businesses as UK strives for work/life balance

A NEW service for people who run their businesses from home launches this month. HAB: Home and Business is the UK’s newest home working resource and will support the 3.4 million people in the UK who work from home or run their businesses from a home office.

A subscription to the HAB newsletter gives members access to the latest news and features relevant to anyone who works from home, as well as exclusive discounts, special offers and competitions.

The HAB team all work from home, and know from experience that working like this can be a lonely and often difficult existence. It is important to have regular contact with people in the same situation.

The number of people working from home continues to grow as more of us strive to create a good work/life balance. HAB can offer support, motivation and guidance for home entrepreneurs. HABmedia Limited, the company behind the newsletter is striving to provide a service that is as environmentally friendly as possible.

A spokesman said: “By encouraging people to work from home, we are helping to reduce the carbon footprint, and by providing an e newsletter we are saving paper. We all work from home and try to keep car journeys to a minimum by having conference calls and communicating via e-mail where possible.”

The newsletter contains up to date news and information relevant to anyone who works from home, on a range of topics including setting up your business to organising your accounts, designing your home office and even how to manage a healthy work/life balance. The newsletter is produced by professional journalists, and will have contributions from business professionals and experts.

The weekly e-newsletter will be enhanced by a support website that contains forums, archives, business advice, video interviews, advertising and networking opportunities that are only available to subscribers through password protected members only areas of the site.

How-to guides, business development tools and e books can all be downloaded and are available free and exclusively to members.
If you work from home or run a business from your home, you may find that although you are productive and focussed for most of the time, you can also feel isolated.

A subscription to HAB means that you'll receive weekly e newsletters and regular business tools that will keep you motivated and help you to grow your business. It is a great way to keep in touch with the latest home business news, and to make new contacts.

An annual subscription to HAB costs just £60, which equates to just over £1 per week and includes the following:

•A weekly copy of the HAB E-newsletter packed with features, news, tips, advice and exclusive money-saving offers, competitions and giveaways for members
•Members only access to the HAB support site
•FREE business tools throughout the year

Subscribers will receive their newsletter every Tuesday direct to their inbox, and will receive alerts and notifications about website updates and new features.
