Default L2 visa holder with EAD can start own company in US?

Hi

L2 dependent visa holder of L1-A (Intra company transferee) with valid EAD can start an own company in the US?

Any response is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards

What kind of company to do what type of business? OP doesn't say. Generally, the answer would be "yes" but there are circumstances or businesses where the answer would be an emphatic "no."

What sort of "circumstances or businesses" might cause the answer to be "no"?
