Many of us don't have either the novel idea or the funds to start a small business. You may want to consider network marketing and move into what Robert Kiyosaki would call the most desired cash quadrant. Do your research. FREE TIPS are available at www.whynotnetworkmarketing.net Send me an email request from the website and I will send you a list of the top 200 earners in all of network marketing (and what companies they are with).
There's a reason that Warren Buffet has NINE network marketing companies.

I don't have a small business but I do like working for myself online when I'm at home to make extra money.

The rules have changed. If you're looking for a great job, with a great company, with great benefits, that you will have your entire life, until you retire, stop looking. That was then this is now. That job doesn't exist anymore for 99% of us. Unless you have unique and remarkable skills you better figure out what will work best for you and your family. I am a former executive who left the corporate world to help people adjust to the new realities. My suggestion to most is to do what millions of people are doing now, find a good home business. That won't work for everyone but if you find one that you can get into for virtually no investment and learn the right skills, you should do well.
There are two opportunities that my clients have had the most success with. One is an amazing opportunity to profit from Ebay and there are well over 720,000 people making a full time living with them. http://cli.gs/HomeBizSuccessSystem That's a huge company to work with.
The other great opportunity is working with an amazing program that teaches you how to cash in on the Twitter gold rush http://cli.gs/TwitterIncomeSystem . Twitter is the future and this is the time to make lots of money from it. The profits we are seeing have been spectacular
So many of my clients tell me that they are loving working for themselves, making more money than before, in less time, and enjoy the extra time they have to spend with their families.

Thanks for the heads up. A lot of small businesses that open up are generally hamstrung by the lack of finances. This lack of finances causes the startup to spread the options wide and open for any money they could get and from any sources.

We have a business based on Virtual Offices. It is a great business in this time of crisis because we help businesses and individuals to reduce costs and offer them a great variety of services and benefits. To make it simple, anyone can have a office, phone, full time live receptionist for less than $140/month. We have clients from all over the world and many of them had large companies in the past and now have to cut costs. For anyone interested our website is www.offixsolutions.com
Hope that help.
