what would be some sound steps for a great manager to go on their own and start a freelance management company from client acquisition to business strategy?

Get an appointment with a local counselor at SCORE by going to :http://www.score.org and inputting your zip code for the office nearest you. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a freelance management company and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you'll concentrate on (your market ) and how you'll go after them.
You'll need to register the company with your state controller's office and make sure that you have any applicable city and county licenses needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.
Try this link :

Good Luck

having a consultancy business is not easy. I operate one however, I specialize in marketing and distribution, so when I target a client I specify that my specialty is that. You can't claim to know all aspect of management, focus on an area where you think you are really good at.
Your curriculum vitae should back up your claim as well.

First and foremost you must be a very good sales person. When presenting your proposal your company's you must be very convincing. Without a polish sales approach you will fail. You can have the greatest widget out there, but if you can't convince me to buy it your doomed to failure.

Managing what ? No company is just managers . . .
Restaurants ? Cargo shipping ? Health care professionals ?
Your question is wayyyyyyyy vague .
Are you sure you are ready for this ?

Networking---that business is word of mouth and referral.
Join as many groups as possible, local BNI, Chamber of commerce, BOMA, IFMA, etc....
The more owners you meet the better your chance of meeting one that needs you.
