Answer
Starting a small business from home may be wiser than taking an office right away. One such business started from home in October and operated from home for its first six months.
Such a start reduces fixed costs and gives you time to see whether there are real orders. For a small market, this is important: rent, a security deposit, utility bills, and equipment can quickly turn an experiment into an expensive obligation.
Operating from home does not exempt you from the rules. You need to take into account the type of activity, address, neighbors, sanitary or municipal restrictions, and housing conditions. But if the activity can legally be carried out without an office, it is better first to confirm demand, repeat sales, and unit economics, and only then rent premises.
