Can I Count Time Spent On A New Center?

[snbauser]

Tom - I currently operate a family chid care home. I am working on expanding to a center and obviously spend a lot of time online doing research, time on paperwork, emails, etc. Can I count this time on my current time/space % since it is still childcare related? Or no because it's not related to my current business? Thanks

hours

Since the hours spent on your new center are not related to your home based business, I wouldn't count any of these hours.
