If you mean mods that are specific to home businesses, then I have no idea because I do not ever play home businesses. But if you mean just OFB mods in general, then I could probably find you a list of things I find helpful...if not necessarily "essential."

There's a ton, what do you want to do? What do you want to run and how do you want to run it?
Pesacado has a business suite, so does sim wardrobe to start.
Simler90 and Pescado at Maty also run mods to correct bugs and flaws.. but there are others.

I wouls also strongly advise using a lot visitor controller to ban badly behaved NPCs and a hack to allow sims to say goodbye or ask others to leave on community lots if any NPC is behaving badly like starting fights with others.

Somewhere there's a faster skilling mod. I know there's one for registers but I can't currently find it.

OFB has many mods, the above combination works very well together as a package and is a good choice. Cyjon has many little fixes mods, that are elegant and necessary. But please read carefully what you choosing as there are also many conflicts. If you choose to use Nopke, then you get a conflict with Simwardrobe. Simwardrobe and Pescado don't work well together. Pescara has BRY (automation) and can do farming, Simwardrobe can do farming but also Car Mechanics and fishing as a business. Squinge mods are the only one's that allow a properly family run business. Where it's unknown about Simler90 because it's not declared and seems to do the exact job of other modders (similar mods must be removed) Plumbobkeep will give you animals (non-npc) for a profitable petting zoo, Mr Cyclopes will give you a paid library, and Sophie-David Dance Classes and Cooking Demostrations, make for fun paid classes at home. You can also have mods that allow shopping at home, or restaurants at home. Things not available in the regular game. Heck you can even sell the juices from your garden, aspiration points or souvenirs from holidays. You can run at home churches or at home brothels. The beauty of Sims 2 is that if you imagine it, modders will help you realise it.
My favourite OFB mod is monique's fairly paid sign here MTS. It sorts out OFB chores as well even when lot is not the playable.
Just be careful to understand the modding choices your making and why. That's why it's useful to decide first what type of business you want to run. From there, you decide the mods that you need. I been using OFB intensively since it released but never done a home restaurant so have no mods for this. Whereas other players love this. Currently I'm running a grocers shop, butchers and a Detective Agency. But you could just get some roomates (Squinge) a bubbleblower and the electro-machine thingy and watch the money come rolling in.

Whichever one prevents the restock signs from relocating randomly to the far corner of the lot. IIRC if you don't have it in advance, you can never bring those signs back...

I had to use Pescado's nuker on the signs. AFAIK it's something to do with pre-OFB custom items and the OFB shelves.

Pescado have great controller ones. There's a mod with a self-checkout object.

...I already wrote up a giant list. No harm in copy-pasting it, right? Some listings might be ones already posted by Rosawyn, but, well, here you go, in case someone stumbles across this thread, instead of the other:

I got a lot of good advice from various members when I got OFB a few years ago, and started a thread to ask about it. See my Opening for Business ... soon thread here.
