Hi. I am seaturtle and this is my first post. I have been reading many threads in this forum and have gotten good information. Here is my story. I have been making soap for about a year, countless batches. I am confident with my trusted recipes. I have been thinking about selling soap sometime in the future. However, the first roadblock is our home owners association which does not allow residents to operate a business out of their home. I know if I would approach them to get permission for making soap, they would turn me down (especially when they hear about the lye).
I am wondering if anyone has come across this obstacle or if anyone has any suggestions. I would have to register my business with our town and I sure don't feel comfortable with it when the HOA does not permit a business. What is the "right" thing to do?
