It will depend on what kind of business you go into and knowing what you believe is the best way to do it. You can mix-n-match the variety of how you choose to run your business; online and out of your home or have a storefront plus online. The final choice is yours and you can even make different choices later on as you see fit with your own small business.

Now, before you think that it is going to be all easy street to have your own small business there are some downsides.
