The office will be at my own home. What type of company I should register? Where I can get these forms to fill-out? Any web sites offer this services? I don't want to spend too much money in the begining. Anyone help?

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:
* 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!

Hi there,
I'm not sure about the legal aspect. But i think i can help out with your website.
What kind of online consulting business do you want to start? Who are your prospects? How do you want to reach them and how you plan to keep them? Visit my blog at http://www.journey2edollars.blogspot.com/ and let me know more details. I might be able to set up your website free of charge (but you need to register your own domain and get your own web host. The package you choose depends heavily on what you want to do with your site).

I don't quite know what all you will need to get you started, if you sort of have you idea and know what you need then I may still be of some help. I know of a Web Hosting / Domain naming and email providing service all for $10.00 month. That is to host your site either that you build if you know what you want on it, or that you have someone else build after you provide them with your info. And you can build it yourself with their Online creation tools, I did my own, and it was fun. I got 10 email accounts, and my own .ws webssite address for $10.00 bucks.

Go to State of Michigan's website, michigan.gov and search for Entreprenuerial Guide. I explains all the different business setups and you can complete all the forms online and it costs about $60.00.
