You don't need to do anything to get a copyright. Anything you make, you have the copyright to. What you need is a patent on your business model. And that's going to cost you at least 10Gs on the patent search.

Everything you need to know about and how to apply for a copyright license can be found at The Library of Congress (see two links below).
Also, you might want to visit and start listening to "Startup Nation". They have a lot of good tips for running a small company.
A good magazine for small business is the Entrepreneur.
Please also think to contact your local Better Business Bureau and the Small Business Administration (USA Government) for other ideas and tips about running your business.
Good Luck.
