First, check with your city or county because the rules can be different depending on where you live. Most places want a "home occupation permit" if you're running a biz from your house, especially if people are coming over or you'll have extra traffic. You'll also need a regular business license from your city or county. Just make sure your business doesn't break zoning laws or HOA rules. Once that's done, you're legit! Basically, a little paperwork and you can run your home-based hustle
