Some random sites claim "CPT does not allow for self-employment. If an F-1 student were to request CPT employment to work at the student’s own business, they must show that their work is controlled by other individuals at the business. The F-1 student cannot have 50% or greater control of the business". Some school's F-1 pages say they won't approve self-employment. I think in practice the school has discretion
