There is some good advice here! Start with the Small Business Administration, they are set up to help small businesses get started and continue in business. Second step would be a good accountant, not necessarily a CPA, then onto an insurance agent. And finally an attorney, although the SBA will normally be able to handle much of the legal work, such as establishing an LLC (Limited Liability Corp, you won't need to establish an S-Corp, far too much detail for what you are trying to do.) Finally, after everything is set up, get your marketing in order. The best laid plans will fail miserably without a solid marketing plan. An ad in the paper will produce minor results. If you go this route, use small, cheap and plain classified ads and plan on keeping them in place indefinately. Most folks will see an ad numerous times before they actually call you. Posting "bulletins" around town will produce results similar to those found in the classifieds. Your best bet is the yellow pages and beating the streets to get word of mouth started. You are going to have to become a good old fashioned salesman to make this thing happen. And most importantly, be ready to be poor BEFORE you make your first buck. Don't want to discourage, but most businesses fail during the first year because of lack of planning or finanical issues. Best of luck, Dug
