Home Based Enterprises Scenarios

1. I have designed a prototype of a product and I am now looking to have manufactured, possibly overseas, and then to sell it online throughout Australia if not the world. It is relatively small (100mm cubed). I will be receiving them in batches of 1000 and generally selling as single units. I want to use our garage to store and pack the product for distribution.

3. I started out making clothes to my designs but the demand has got too great for me to do all the work, so I now have some of my neighbours sewing for me. I sometimes have people visit our house for fittings and to pick up the finished product however I generally sell at markets and online.
