CAREER OPTIONS FOR ‘92

A SPECIAL ADVERTISING FEATURE OF THE NORTH SHORE NEWS

CAREER CHANGES are increasingly becoming lifestyle changes, with
people opting to alter their work styles and location as well as the type

of work they do.

Some companies now allow
their employees to work at home
and communicate with the office
through telephone, facsimile
machine and computer modem,
while other People choose to work
on a freelance basis — working
independently to produce work
for companies on a project-by-
project basis.

While these options offer a
great deal more freedom and an
end to hassle of commuting, more
and more people are choosing to
start their own company at home

by creating home-based.

businesses.

One of the greatest motives for
this is a desire to avoid the traffic,
said Walter Coole, president of
the Vancouver Home-Based
Business Association.

computers with modems, com-
puter bulletin boards, voice mail
services and answering machines
allow business people to operate
without a receptionist or secretary;
although it is still often necessary
for home-based businesspeople to
leave their homes to market their
services or products.

New technologies simplfy com-
munication. As an example, Coole
explained that while his associa-
tion has monthly meetings, much
of the communicating they do —
including voting on proposals —
is done through a local user-pay
bulletin board system.

The increasing popularity of
both small businesses and home-
based businesses can be seen to
some degree in figures obtained
from the B.C. Trade Development

tion Centre.

The number of companies in-
corporated during the past decade
has fluctuated with 21,381 incor-
porated in 1980 and 19,550 in
1990; while the number of part-
nerships and sole proprietorships
registered has climbed from 3,684
in 1980 to 15,451 in 1990.

Coole expiained that although
the popularity of working at home
is certainly increasing, knowing
how many businesses there are is

difficult, because of those who
avoid licensing regulations in
order to cut their overhead.

Although he did not advocate
the idea of working outside legal
bounds, Coole said he could un-
derstand why some businesspeople
do. In kis own case, he pays $179
to the City of Vancouver. for a
business license but receives no
extra trash pick-up, policing or
other services for his money, he
said.
