A home business (or "home-based business" or "HBB") is a small business which operates from the business owner's home office (SOHO).

In addition to their location, home businesses are usually defined by:

  • Having a very small number of employees, usually all immediate family of the business owner, in which case it is also a family business.
  • Lacking a shop frontage, customer parking and street advertising signs.

"Home-based" often evokes strong feelings and concerns about the serious matter of this business, yet the contrary seems to be more true: home businesses use the advantage of running on less expenses (e.g. house rent, commuting mileage) and grow over time and/or by demand.

Some examples of companies started as home-based business are: Microsoft Corporation, The Walt Disney Company, Apple Inc., Xerox Corporation.
