The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start and Run a Successful Consulting Business by Gregory F. Kishel, Patricia Gunter Kishel
* The Consultant's Quick Start Guide: An Action Plan for Your First Year in Business by Elaine Biech
* Getting Started in Consulting, Second Edition by Alan Weiss
* Successful Independent Consulting: Turn Your Career Experience into a Consulting Business by Douglas Florzak
* The Consultant's Manual: A Complete Guide to Building a Successful Consulting Practice by Thomas L. Greenbaum
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

First, you must know SOMETHING about SOMETHING! Then you bill your client just like anyone else who provides a service........your bill should be for "all the traffic will bear", as they say in America. (hehe)! Good luck.
