Can I get information about starting a home based business?

Whether you conduct business out of your home or in a commercial space, you will need to follow some basic legal steps to starting a business. Home based businesses have some unique licensing, zoning and taxation requirements that can easily be overlooked, but if ignored, can lead to costly fines.
