Zoning

Before you start a business in your home, check the zoning in your locality. If you rent, check your lease for restrictions on commercial activity. Usually if you have no employees, heavy traffic, or toxic waste associated with your business, you won't run afoul of any laws.

Just to be safe, I checked with my city before I began to find out what was and wasn't allowed. I didn't want to inadvertently break a regulation and get shut down. For the most part, graphic design is a clean and quiet business. I've never had any complaints from neighbors.
