Hi
The first thought would be the small business administration or partners ( a group of retired business people that help people starting business) But there are a lot of other avenues first if you have a great idea there are business partners out there maybe in your own classes . put a small classified ad in the paper looking for financial backers or talk to your teachers about it if it really is great they might even want to be part of it or know someone that does. also a lot of small business take little or no money ( like Ebay) you might want to set up a sales account and use the profit from it to launch your other business ( it will also give you real world experience dealing with what it takes to run a business in a very gentle way.

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.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Really Start Your Own Business, Fourth Edition by David E. Gumpert
* How to Really Create a Successful Business Plan: Step-by-Step Guide by David E. Gumpert
* What No One Ever Tells You about Starting Your Own Business: Real-Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs (What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business) by Jan Norman
* Business Start-Up Kit by Steven D. Strauss
* Start Your Own Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Up) by Rieva Lesonsky
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!

I'm not offering a "get rich quick scheme", anything worthwhile and moral will take some work.
Below is a link for information on how to become independent in a short matter of time. It has helped me tremendously on starting my own business. The book, inexpensive by the way, was written by a young, single, pregnant (when she started), woman named Holly Mann who gives a no-nonsense look at starting your own business. She gives exact details on how to start with no money and unlike other programs doesn't tease you to buy more expensive products. Her information is complete and easy to understand.
Take a look at the site for more information, no obligation.

The Small Business Administration can give you all the info and training you need to start a small business. Look them up in the phone book.
