You may need approval from your local council if you intend to operate a home based business. A home based business is any business where the primary office is located in the business owner's home or in a building connected to their home. Whether you need approval and the level of approval required will depend on a number of factors, including:
- the number of people employed by your business
- impact of your business on the surrounding neighbourhood
- whether your business will handle or manufacture food products
- whether your business will involve skin penetration procedures
- the number of business identification signs that will be displayed at your business premises.
