This is a high-demand business opportunity that can easily be operated as a home based business. Running a dating service from home has the advantage that it provides your clients with a personal touch. It is also cheaper to operate from home as you don't need to outlay any money for office rentals, parking fees, etc.

What's more, your own home telephone and personal computer can be utilized for your dating service business as well.

However, you will need a spare room to utilize as your office. As this home business will require your clients to meet you face to face, the image you portray should be professional. Perhaps include a comfortable couch or small conference table to your existing office.

This type of dating service we talk about here is an offline (not internet based), personal introductory dating service. It is where you will interview prospective clients, draw up a portfolio for them and attempt to match them with your other members.

Your clients will all have to fill in an application form, submit photos and possibly do a personality profile test with you. You charge these clients a monthly fee to keep them on your books and refer to them any possible matches.

The application form should contain your terms of use which they have to abide by. They will also need to sign a disclaimer indemnifying you from any damages or incidences that may arise - this is standard practice.

As far as advertising your services are concerned, it is relatively quite simple. For best advertising results, make sure you target your clients properly. You may need to separate gender when advertising. For example, you need to place one ad to attract men and another to attract women. The ads should be in high quality magazines who specialize in or write continuously about love and relationship issues.

People responding to your ads will have to make an appointment to see you. You will then explain your services to them and get them to sign up as members.

You will need to keep a database of all members and to constantly perform matching. When you have a match, you will contact the member and let him or her view the profiles. If they are happy, they can setup a date with that person concerned.

Everyone wants to love and be loved. No one wants to be alone. People need company. These are the basic needs of humans and exactly why this type of business opportunity will always be in demand.

Furthermore, people have lost the interest in meeting others in bars, nite clubs, etc. It is just too difficult, very time consuming and not very safe. If they sign up with a service like a dedicated dating service where they choose who they go out with beforehand, they will be able to save time as well as ensure their utmost safety and privacy.
