call your city about permit and/or licenses required. Also, call your state too. Sit down and write down what tools and equipment you will need for this business and what they will cost to buy, you will need insurance, car, business licenses and/or permits, corporation or llc formation, and advertising costs.


Print up some professional business cards and flyers (you can get them done at office depot) and hand them out to local businesses, First I would start out with mom and pop businesses and then expand to others businesses. Also, you can join the local chambers of commerce.


Goto barned and nobel bookstore and read up on some good starting a business books. They are a very good source of info.
