Starting a craft business from home takes both creativity and planning. Hereโs a simple roadmap many makers follow:
- Perfect your craft โ Practice your projects until you feel confident in quality and consistency.
- Get feedback โ Share items with friends or family and use their input to refine your products.
- Identify your niche โ Decide what makes your business unique. Focus on the products youโre most passionate about, and how they stand out from others.
- Register your business โ Choose a name and register it with your state.
- Get licensed for taxes โ Apply for a tax ID or license so you can legally collect and pay sales tax.
- Open a business bank account โ Keep your finances organized and track expenses separately from personal spending.
- Consider professional help โ A small business accountant can save you time and help you set up bookkeeping the right way.
Starting small is fine - what matters is building a strong foundation so your business can grow.
