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 & Manage a Convenience Food Store Business by Jerre G. Lewis
* Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business by Jim Dion, Ted Topping
* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel
* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder
* So You Want To Own The Store: Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown
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 get a dba or depending on your area a tax id and a business name... when that is done get a bank account for said business... now from there look up state license for selling beer food or whatever ( once again depending on state)... biggest part choosing location.... and if you need a loan build up a business plan with graphs, exact amounts, proposed billing and such and take it to a bank or a small business loan officer...... well anyways alot of that depends on where you live. some states are a pain some are not.... also the government has a small business loan/grant program and you might get like 10G's free or with payback/interest. wncan is mostly right with 100G's will get your foot in the game..
