    Dear Scott, I am a wood working hobbyist and started making coffee tables and lampshades for my home… And it has triggered my interest in getting into a custom made furniture business… While am still trying to hone my skills, I wanted to explore possibilities of starting a home based business. Since I have a plush day job, I wanted to test waters before I can take a plunge into the business itself. Have any inputs on how I can go about it?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Mr. Shrinivas,
    As far as I think, you should start with tradinf of these spare parts and then start the manufacturing. There is no particular association there for this business. The procedure is as simple as you start a biscuit shop and chocolate shop. You just have to contact the whole seller and have an account with them and they will provide you the materials.
    License in not required for the trading of automobile spare parts on small scale.
    Thank you.
