Do your homework first and make sure you don't get ripped off.

you are on the right track in thinking about a home business...if you want help, you will need to be more specific in giving some details on your plans....be very cautious in dealing with distributors selling you
ideas, instructions, etc.....

You may not get much of a tax break. I have a home office & only get to write-off the percentage of the space I use on hydro, gas, etc & rent if you don't own). It's pretty hard to use a high percentage since that's also your living space. Be careful - get accounting & tax advice.

I found the write-off to be quite low. It's the drive in that I like. :D
If you are in a "Loss" position BEFORE claiming household expenses you will not be able to claim them.

If you have an idea for a small business to operate then give it a go. If not, you will end up costing yourself in the long run. The CRA does not care for people who open up a small business with $100 of revenue and $10,000 of expenses aimed at applying a loss against employed earnings. If it was that easy then everyone would be doing it.
 
It depends...
