Legal advice for homeworkers can vary depending on where in the world you are. For example: in the UK it is relatively easy to set up a business at home on an informal basis before you need to start formalising things. In some states of the US it is a different situation requiring you to register your intentions before you can begin.
Compiled here are some online sources of help some of which are free and others are a pay-for service.
