I'm 13 and I'm good at typing so I am staring a business of my own. So wanted to know all the neccesary things I needed and what else can I add to the business. Some one suggested instead of calling it a typing business I should call it a Data Entry.

I strongly suggest having an adult/your guardian assist you with this -- have them go over the following information with you.
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:
* Complete Typing Business Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Start and Successfully Operate a Home Typing Business by Frank Chisenhall
* How to Start a Profitable Typing Service at Home by Nicki Montaperto
* Virtual Assistant, The Series: Become a Highly Successful, Sought After VA by Diana Ennen, Kelly Poelker
* Start Your Own Business Support Service (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Entrepreneur Press
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!

Ask someone who has a business that you know personally to try you out.

Who will need the typing you are going to do?
I mean who needs things typed?
Who needs things entered into a computer?
What do they need typed?
How will you find them?
How will you get the things to type for them?

Write a letter (typed no doubt) to your small business administration. They can probably help you get starteed!
