Unless you had unlimited data on your tariff you would not be able to use it for that purpose. Even if you did have unlimited data, you would be using so much that it would be picked up as being above the fair usage policy. if you're starting up a business, you will need a reliable connection, which your phone would not be. You're much better off getting proper broadband and let the business pay for it.

What are you wanting to connect to your phone? Does your phone have a "Hotspot" feature?

 

So long as you have a good 3G or H+ signal you might be able to use your phone as a wireless hotspot but please bare in mind that you will eat through your data allowance VERY quickly if you use it like this every day!

I agree with Bambino, not good enough to replace a fixed line connection.
