I suppose you are currently an employee at a company. You want to start your new business. You are working on "the private" project while working for the company. Your question is "Can I use my work resources for the private project?" All lawyer will answer "It depends". It depends on the contract you have with the company. Usually any output generated from the work machine is considered the IP of the company, not yours. In work contract, usually this is clearly stated. So the first thing to check is your contract :)
