Networks are important resources for business and entrepreneurship. The purpose of the current research study was to utilize a qualitative approach in order to conceptualize networking in home-based businesses based on agricultural products. Using random sampling method, 31 experts were recruited and interviewed until data saturation was reached. The interviews were then transcribed and after that, the transcribed passages underwent open, axial, and selective coding. These coding procedures were conducted by using MAXQDA software. In order to validate the findings, criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability were employed. Results showed that networking in home-based businesses can be identified as eight components including customer-orientedness, key contribution, knowing competitors, good products processing, channels of promotion and sale, suggested values, and material and spiritual supporters that were all conceptualized and their frequencies were estimated. Thus, it is expected that the results of the present study can efficiently contribute, at the theoretical level, to developing theoretical bases and offering new pathways, and at the practical level, to exploiting the target market within the realm of home-based businesses in general, and in agricultural products sector, in specific. It is hoped that such influences can help business owners to improve their current state of affairs.
