Make sure you get a business license, resellers license, and good insurance.

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. 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:
* Running a Successful Construction Company by David Gerstel
* Smart Business for Contractors: A Guide to Money and the Law by Jim Kramon
* How to Succeed With Your Own Construction Business by Stephen Diller
* Construction Forms and Contracts by Craig Savage
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!

know your competition well....what makes you different/better than the rest? Why should anyone buy from you? Look at things from the customers' point of view.
Once you know you're different, do marketing planning. How do you reach your target market at an effective price?
Finally, what will you need (licenses, supplies, equipment, etc) to run the business on a day-to-day basis? Hint: you don't need new stuff usually; leasing and buying used are often worth looking into.

Any business is hard. The government wants most of your money, and if you have employees they will take the rest of it!
Friend I have owned several businesses, really it is better to work for someone else! I got really lucky and sold my last business
