QUESTION: Can I operate my business from home?
TOPIC: Starting a Home-based Business
ANSWER
Many entrepreneurs start their businesses from home because it offers low-cost office space, as well as giving you the freedom and flexibility to work the hours you want. Whether you choose to do this or not depends on your business. If you're operating dangerous equipment or doing things that conflict with residential zoning laws, you'll have to locate your business in a commercial or industrial area.

It's advisable to contact the Zoning Division in your municipality to confirm if you can run your type of business from home.
