Do I have to close my unlicensed business in home before selling?

I cut hair in my home and changed my basement into a hair salon. I have one other girl that comes in and we cut men's and some women's hair. We do it all under the table to save money. I am planning to sell my home and move to a bigger house but I want to keep my business going as long as I can. What can i do for listing pictures and tours? Can i keep it up and just say it's a hobby or something?

You typically do not need to close an unlicensed home business before selling. Here in Hernando County, we see many remote workers and small business owners successfully sell without business disruption. What matters is ensuring your home shows well during showings and any zoning compliance is addressed. Most buyers focus on the property itself, not your business operations.
