Industry: Small Business

Press Release Summary: ... is to work from home with flexible working options.
Whether is it video conferencing in the conservatory, brainstorming in the bath or
writing a report in the gazebo, flexible working can come in many different forms,
one of which is to own a home business.

Press Release Body: With over one million self employed women piloting with their
own business, it is easy to see why they have more time for family and hobbies,
spend less time commuting and have reduced stress levels. Yet in the current climate
do women still want to run their own business?

Absolutely! According to a new survey by Remote Employment, working around family is
the main reason why women want to work from home and own a home based business.
Combined with flexible hours and maintaining a career, a home based business is the
perfect ingredient. Add a good income and the spice of life falls into place. The
perfect recipe for a home based business.

Responding to poll results, Paula Wynne, Co-Founder of Remote Employment, and a Mum
who has always juggled family and work, said: "We started Remote Employment to fill
the gap in the job market by offering a connection to employers and people who want
to work flexibly, remotely or work from home. A huge majority of people surveyed
said they want to 'work around family' with flexible hours."

According to the South East Women's Enterprise Network, 51% of self employed women
work part time compared with 14% of men. They also state that self employed women
are more qualified than their male counterparts, yet men are twice as likely to
start a business. As women account for a large slice of the working population and
only a handful of them have a fear of failure, it explains what
'women-entrepreneurs' really want.

As well as flexible and home based jobs, Remote Employment lists Home Business
Opportunities for women (and men) who want to take the plunge and work for
themselves. Paula said: "Flexible working is highly sought after by parents who want
to juggle careers and family life. There is a fabulous variety of businesses that
women can do at home and we aim to showcase them all."
The survey also showed that money motivates only 13% of women while 47% prefer
flexible employment as their work incentive.

Technology advancements over the past few years has increased business mobility and
given millions of parents more control over how they do their work. Paula believes
working flexibly, remotely or working with a home business increases job
satisfaction and work production, and gives people an all round improvement in
work-life balance.
