FAQ
A home-based business is one that operates primarily from the owner's home rather than a traditional office or retail space, often using the home as the central business location.
While there's no guarantee of profitability, some of the most profitable home businesses include freelance services (writing, graphic design), e-commerce (selling products online), consulting, and digital marketing services. To improve your chances of running a profitable business, select an option that requires little to no startup and ongoing expenses if possible.
To start a home business, develop a business plan, obtain any necessary permits, set up a work space, and market your business through online channels.
