However, it's likely that your local zoning bylaws don't allow working at home. That's because most were written before this trend became so popular. But, not to worry. Chances are you won't be bothered too much as long as you don't make noise or cause disruption with too many visitors, parking and traffic disruption, and signage. You might want to contact your municipal government first, though.
Insurance is also an important consideration.
If you are self-employed, you should consider home business insurance which will provide coverage for theft, loss or damage, and possibly liability claims. Since that's not always possible, a shared room, such as a bedroom or living room, will do. In arranging your set up, be mindful of doors, windows, wallplugs, and phone jacks. It's just a question of time. Here's what you can do.
