You can have a Home Business on nearly every type of housing, as shown above. In game these are named as Residential (Small Business), specifically on a Residential lot/Tiny Home Residential (Small Business), specifically on a Tiny Home lot etc - Collectively, I'm going to refer to the Housing & Small Business combination as Home Businesses.
When playing as the Business Owner household there are no loading screens between areas on Home Business lots. When visiting as a Customer you have no access to Residential/Employee areas, even if the doors aren't locked or unlockable access, such as an archway, is used. When visiting as a Guest of the household, you have access to anywhere you aren't locked out of, including Public/Employee areas.
What about a Small Business elsewhere?
You can have a Small Business Venue (business on separate lot) no matter where you live.
