The data used in the analysis of this study were collected from 139home business owners using a questionnaire. Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling method with PLS approach and questionnaire constructs show good validity and reliability. Previous knowledge of home business owners has a positive (β=0.392) and significant (T=2.289, >1.96) effect on business structure performance. Therefore, the first research hypothesis is supported. Previous knowledge of home business owners has a positive (β=0.597) and significant (T=6.310, >1.96) effect on the performance structure of home businesses. And therefore, the second hypothesis of the research is supported. The structure of home businesses has a positive (β=0.4) and significant (T=2.124, >1.96) effect on business performance.
