3. No more 9-5 duty: As you have a small business of your own, you can divide your time as per your requirement. The concept of working five days a week for 9-5 per day just vanishes in your business. There are few reasons for it. It saves you time in a different way. As it’s an era of hi-tech with internet, softwares, laptops, tablets, apps, smartphones, you can access work and monitor it from anywhere, anytime you want. Another important reason is that lack of office space or difficulty for a small business owner to buy such space. Instead of buying or renting a location, having yourself in a social media would do a great help, as stated above.

4. Good time for self employment: 2012 will be a year of uplift in the economic conditions and consumer confidence will continue to rise and    unemployment claims continue to fall. If this trend continues, then it would be a great space for the small businesses to grow.

5. Smart move with Smartphones: smartphones has brought all the apps together, which makes work easier. Work can be done when and where you want. Not only work, customers can interact directly with the business online in the mobile itself. Experts say that sooner or later there will be the apps running  businesses. The business sites, social networking, and all transactions can be done online, businesses will come down to a small magic box called smartphones.

Thus all these trends will surely be a plus point for your business.
