  • Omaha, NE-IA (1888PressRelease) November 18, 2011 - Splendipity has been recognized as one of the top home businesses in the nation by StartupNation (http://www.startupnation.com) in its annual Home-Based 100 competition.

    Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 entries showed that people are leveraging the efficiencies and lower overhead of home-based businesses to pursue their passion and bring in income during these tight economic times.

    "The 2011 ranking reveals that home business is serious business - more relevant than ever. It's a natural response to loss of job opportunities, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show," said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation.com, one of the leading small business networking and knowledge hubs online. "Home based businesses are the biggest block of all businesses in existence and we expect numbers to grow ever greater as extra bedrooms, kitchen tables, basements and garages increasingly host the innovative thinking and pursuit of success by millions of Americans."

    "Winning this award is truly an honor as it speaks volumes for all those who have both a business and a family, which can be tricky at times. Our award-winning Greenest business and product go hand in hand, and being able to run everything from home, makes it all more worth it."

    The StartupNation Home-Based 100 highlights 10 top-ten lists making it not just your ordinary business ranking. From the wackiest, to the most innovative, to the best financial performers - this unique and diverse list highlights the home-based businesses that usually go unrecognized, but still play a vital role in the economy today. The ten categories for 2011 include:

    Most Innovative
    Boomers Back in Business
    Greenest
    Yummiest
    Wackiest
    Highest Vote-Getters
    Recession Busters
    Most Slacker-Friendly
    Most Glamorous
    Savviest in Social Media
