How to start a Home answering service?

It is not expensive to set up an answering service from home and there is a growing demand for outsourced telephone answering services. There are many potential cutomers for your telephone answering service including small business owners who do not employ a secretary or receptionist, sole proprietors who are out of the office on jobs and busy professionals who cannot take calls while working such as medical professionals.

The equipment you need will depend on how many clients you take on. The easiest way to begin is to install a separate phone line for each client. Each phone is marked with the company name for quick identification. As your business grows you could consider leasing a small switchboard.
