Starting a Home-Based Software Company?

Posted by Cliff on from the wouldn't-you-like-to dept.

deanj asks: "I'd like to start a new software business, as I'm sure many Slashdot readers would. I'd like to be able to run the company out of my home, at least until I can afford to move into an office in commercial area. A major roadblock to starting a home business are zoning restrictions, set by both home-owners associations and by the town you live in. So, I'd like to Ask Slashdot: What were your experiences with getting your company zoned properly and started? What did you have to do? What other tips do you have for someone starting their own home-based software business?"

    I'd like a flying pony like my most people on Slashdot. I currently have a dog, but I don't think I'll be able to turn him into a pony. If I am able to though, I think I could create some wings out of paper, and glue them on. Would this pony fly?

    We could use more software businesses with models like that.
