Residential
This scheme enables you to carry out small scale home-based activities to supplement your household income, without requiring HDB’s approval.
However, as HDB flats are primarily intended for residential use, please observe the guidelines of the scheme. If your business activity or its scale grows to an extent that inconveniences your neighbours and creates disamenities, we will ask that you stop the activity, and relocate it to a retail or industrial space.
Here are some examples of the businesses you can carry out under our Home-Based Small Scale Business Scheme. Being of a small scale, these businesses should not require hiring of workers.
* Massage services are not allowed in HDB flats.
