Subject: The Impact of Location on Net Income: A Comparison of Homebased and
Non-Homebased Sole Proprietors


America's homebased sole proprietors generate $102 billion in annual
revenue, according to a study by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small
Business Administration.  The study details revenues, expenses, and income
for both homebased and non-homebased sole proprietors by industrial sector
by examining federal income tax data from year 2002 sole proprietorship
returns (Schedule C).

The report presents a comparison of homebased and non-homebased sole
proprietorships.  For example, it finds that the average homebased sole
proprietor earned $22,569 in net income while their non-homebased
counterparts earned $38,243.  Nonetheless, due to lower expenses,
particularly in rent and labor costs, the average homebased sole proprietor
consistently gained a higher return on gross revenues at 36 percent, versus
21 percent for the non-homebased.

The findings also show that the greatest percent of homebased sole
proprietorships was in the Administrative, Support, and Waste Management;
Information; and Construction sectors.  For the non-homebased, the
percentage was greatest in the Accommodation and Food Services; All Other
Services; and Finance and Insurance sectors.

The report 'The Impact of Location on Net Income: A Comparison of Homebased
and Non-Homebased Sole Proprietors,' was authored by Joanne H. Pratt with
funding from the Office of Advocacy. For a copy of this study visit:
