I REALLY need some advice! A friend and I just started a cake business out of my home...hers can't be used b/c of pets (NC law)...well, my husband and I might have an awesome opportunity to get land for cheap and build our 2nd house. This one would be my ultimate DREAM home, but off the subject. It is in the same area, just down the street, but we would have to sell our house and move in with my parents while we build, meaning we would not have my kitchen. This is the address that all our licenses are at.

Our business is VERY VERY new, and I just didn't expect this. How do I break the news to my partner and what do I do if we do sell this house and rebuild? Should we shut down the business, even after being so new? Oh my, what did I get myself into????

Just tell be honest, and if you're planning to start the business again after your new house is built let her know that and she may be willing to wait to start again.
Good luck hope it all works out

maybe you can run the busniess out of your parents house or hers but she would have to have the pets outside if that's the NC rules i don't know.

Another option is to rent commercial space until your new home is built.
