- Retail sales from home
HBB owners need to obtain approval from the garrison commander or senior commander.
*Business that are interested in providing sales or services on Fort Jackson outside their residence should contact Family and MWR at the number above or the local AAFES Exchange for more information.
* Persons who reside in family housing and work remotely out of their residence or operate their own business exclusively through online means are not considered HBB and do not require approval. Other examples of businesses that donβt need approval are:
