"..this is a good check list if it's a 'side company'"

That's actually a better term! It makes a difference whether you are building the side project as a creative hobby (to develop new skills etc.) or in the hopes of turning it into a startup.

Eh, not really. A lifestyle business is your main source of income. It's not a side project. It's just not a startup because there is no massive growth expectation.
