Question Ideas for a home business?

We're thinking of starting a home business here in The Villages. We have some ideas but would like to know what kind of business our fellow Villagers would like to see that either isn't available now, or is not sufficiently available. All ideas are welcome!

Technically, home businesses are not allowed in TV per the covenants and restrictions. It is one thing to go to someone else's home but most residents don't want their neighborhood having a lot of visiting, non-friend traffic.

Would not try the "Home Meth Lab", the one discussed on here right now.They set up a "Meth Lab" right here in the villages and just got busted.Operated out of some ladies home.

Correction! I guess I didn't make it clear. It wouldn't be a home business in the sense of actually being operated out of the home, rather a "home" business in the sense of a small local business run by a family, as opposed to say...Apple!

If you were thinking of a franchise, I'd love to see a Chipolte. It's a small place and I'm sure they would get lots of business! You could place it in the South end of the Villages and it would do great!

How about golf cart washing, detailing at the client's home.

I think they are all company owned. Not 100% on this one, but I think so.
