Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Can I start a business in the US if I have visa F1 and I am working 15 hours a day as Teaching Assistant? Maximum for F-1 students is 20 hours I think and just for the university. Can I open a webpage and get paid for the services I am offering or advertisements in my webpage? In the case that I could should I report to anyone? Can I open the business in my country of origin and then make business with US with resources from US? Thanks
