How hard is it to start a small business in your own home in your country?

r/

How strict are the regulations? Zoning, fire safety, health safety, disability access etc.

I’m talking about stuff like pet grooming, cosmetology, car repair, pet breeding, hairdressing, counselling, handmade furniture and other small-scale manufacturing, etc.

    Those are very different kind of business. Starting a business is quite simple. But various businesses have different regulations.

    Really depends on the equipment you need for your business. A carpenter, electrician or a handyman, no problem. Starting a nuclear power plant in your backyard for electricty production, not so much.

    But the business you mention, the ones where you need a shop at home are usually not allowed; a residential property is not intended for commercial exploitation.
