Answer 1

I suggest you start by reading the instructions on Starting a Business in Alabama from the official Alabama state website http://www.alabama.gov/portal/business/startbusiness.jsp

For taxes, here are the resources you need to read

Alabama Dept of Revenue - Starting a New Business http://www.ador.state.al.us/taxpayerassist/newbus.pdf
Tax Online Registration System http://www.revenue.alabama.gov/salestax/register.html

If you are unsure on how to proceed, I suggest you check with SCORE, a free service where you can find mentors to help you

SCORE Fairhope - Baldwin County http://www.baldwinscore.org
Birmingham - North Alabama SCORE http://www.business.uab.edu/sbdc/score84/

Answer 3

You need to go to your local Department of Equalization and
get a tax ID#, get a ficticious name certificate (they'll tell
you where) and have it published in a local newspaper....
the newspaper will set this up for you...and you're all set.
