Before starting a home business, it is important to understand the applicable laws and regulations that could affect your business. Researching the legal requirements in your state or municipality can be a daunting task, so consulting with an experienced business lawyer may be worth the cost. In addition, make sure to obtain any necessary licenses or permits from your local municipality or county, and make sure to check with your homeowners’ association for any regulations regarding operating a business from home. Lastly, if you plan on having customers visit your home for meetings or pickups, ensure that you have appropriate insurance coverage including liability insurance as well as workers' compensation for yourself and any employees.
