Pros	Description
Flexibility	You can put as much time into the business as you'd like. If you like the work and have some initial experience, you can start small and manage all aspects of the business on your own.
Ability to start your business from home	It's not necessary to have a physical storefront or office space to get your business started. You can do everything from the comfort of your own home, at least in the beginning!
Little startup costs required	The cost to start a childbirth service business costs significantly less money than most businesses, ranging anywhere from 2,515 to 23,259.
Rewarding work	Starting a childbirth service business can be really rewarding work. After all, you are solving an immediate issue for your customer and you're working on something you truly care about.
Scalable	With businesses and processes changing daily, there will always be demand for new features, products and services for your business. Additionally, there are several different business models and pricing tiers you can implement that will allow you to reach all types of customers.
No overhead costs	To get your childbirth service business started, there are no costs associated with overhead, storage, packaging, etc. This will save you a lot of time and money!

Cons	Description
Crowded Space	Competition is high when it comes to your childbirth service business, so it's important that you spend a good amount of time analyzing the market and understanding where the demand lies.
Longer Sales Process	A childbirth service business can be a big time and money investment for your customer, so it's important you plan and predict a longer conversion funnel and stay in communication with potential customers.
Work can be inconsistent	As a childbirth service business, the amount of work assigned to you and schedule tends to be more inconsistent, which may make your income less stable. It's important to set boundaries and budget accordingly based on the amount of work you plan to have.
Lack of benefits	With a childbirth service business, you are typically self-employed and responsible for finding your own insurance, which can be quite costly and time-consuming.
Isolation	Often times, as a childbirth service business, you typically work alone and do not have much face-to-face interaction with other team members.
Taxes	As a childbirth service business, you typically pay self-employment taxes which can be quite high. It's important to understand what you will be paying in taxes each year so you can determine if the work you're taking on is worth it.
