Shalom u'vrachah,
As a rule, it is not approved to grant a kashrut certificate to a business located in a private home. You may review the procedure, the guidelines and the details at the following link from the website of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel: https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/policy/nohalk4/he/נוהל שיקולים למתן הכשר לעסק בבית פרטי (1).pdf
