Dear Teachers,

1. That man usually has to go away on business away from home.

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

No because 'go away on' and 'away from home' are repeating the same information.

This might be better: " has to go away from home on business".  No need for repetition of 'away'.
