I fix stuff for people, and while it's not a consistent income, there are months where I do pretty good, and other months where things are slow. I don't need a business license to do this. If I had a retail space, I'd be losing money for most of the year. Net loss for the entire year. I prefer to stay small ball. It's lower risk, and I'd never truly lose my ass off. But that's my choice. I've never been a super risk taking individual.

Depending on the situation, they can. But you need to think out of the box. Selling stuff on ebay is technically a retail job. Fixing stuff for people in your shop at home is a service sector job. People can create their own jobs for themselves. There are a lot of people who work regular jobs, and do stuff on the side to supplement their income.
