Be aware that many neighborhoods have deed restrictions forbidding the operation of a business. Some require extra off street parking, others forbid deliveries and signs, etc. It is wise to check with your Home Owners Association and with your local government for a complete survey of your city or county regulations. It may be difficult to raise capital. Although this may be much less than opening a business outside the home, both the start-up and operating funds should be in hand before beginning the business operation.
