Default Can I do internet retail in home in Tai Po?

I'm looking into starting an internet retail business out of my home. However, I am concerned about the legality of that. I'm guessing as long as you don't have people and products constantly coming in and out no one will notice or even care.
However, its bad to make assumptions. I don't want to make that assumption that its no problem and have Hong Kong government officials quickly breathing down my neck.

After looking a lot of blogs last night it seems that Tai Po might be a potentially good location for me to start. What I like about Tai Po (at least from my research):
1. easy access to mass transit, inlcuding reasonable travel time to TST.
2. its a large city unto itself and I can get all the services I need there.
3. Air pollution is not as bad.
4. Country setting. a lot of parks. more relaxed that Central and Kowloon
5. Room to expand. If I should decide to lease a warehouse there is a large industrial park area (though not sure if I can get a small unit).

Question: Are there any decent yet affordable schools there for pre-school and primary and middle school age?

Love to hear any feedback on my blog observations and research.

I like Tai Po very much because I live here from born.
I am not sure about your business...do you need a license to do it?
Anyway, Nice to meet you!

If you get out at hung hom station and walk over the bridge, you are technically in TST.
