Home Business Report Magazine

Flashback to 1989 and the words "home-based business" would not be found very often in the same sentence. Entrepreneurs with vision who wanted to create a business that suited their lifestyle often faced misunderstanding from family and friends and lack of support from community bylaw officers. From the humble beginnings of a misunderstood segment of the market grew the Home Business Report. Originally a regional newsletter for Western Canadians, it became a national magazine, serving micro-enterpreneurs from coast-to-coast-to-coast!

Home Business Report began in Barbara Mowat's home 14 years ago with state of the art technology, contributing writers and editors from across North America, with a lot of late nights and sweat equity! The magazine now boasts a print circulation of 50,000.

Today, with approximately 20% of the workforce self employed, the words SOHO (small office, home office), entrepreneur and home based business are part of the culture! In communities all across North America, and the world, people are offering everything from doggy daycare, to manufacturing, to international translation services from their home-based businesses.

HBB Friendly Community Awards

For the past four years, Home Business Report, in collaboration with RBC Royal Bank and Canada Post, have conducted national surveys of Canadian communities to discover what can be done to make towns and cities more “Home-based Business Friendly.” This years awards had Western Economic Diversification Canada and Economic Development Council of BC join in with their support.
